Battle Plan for Prayer

During the first week of this new study we are covering chapters 1 & 2, The Legacy of Prayer and The Power of Prayer. Both topics could be a study for weeks. The church has a long history of people praying and seeing powerful results. The book discusses a few of these people.

One such person is Hudson Taylor. He was a missionary to China in the 1800s. A brief bio on Taylor can be found here -
