On Sunday, we continued our discussion on God's love for the world. Since God's love all people, we want to do the same. Each of us over the past month have picked out a country in the world and has been studying all about the people there from a country profile. We talked about worldview - what it means, what our worldview is, how we got it, etc. Then we moved to reading our country profile again, and drew our hopes and dreams for the people that live in these countries.  Finally, we shared what we drew and prayed for countries, laying hands on each of these countries on a huge map.

Thoughts and Questions:
1) What is the country you are praying for? What are your hopes and dreams for the people there?

2) What does your worldview consist of, and how did you get it?

Scripture to pray over your country:
Finally, brothers and sisters,  pray for us, so that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly and be glorified everywhere, just as it is among you,and that we may be rescued from wicked and evil people; for not all have faith. But the Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.  And we have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that you are doing and will go on doing the things that we command. May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ.  2 Thess. 3:1-4
