Action prayer can change your church, your community, and your life. When churches come together in prayer we see amazing things happen--things that most of us would have thought impossible just a couple of decades ago. The Soviet Union has disintegrated and the Berlin Wall has been destroyed. God has torn open the Iron Curtain, allowing the Gospel to pour into that starving land. On every continent it is plain to see that God is doing might things in response to prayer.
Perhaps even more amazing are the results of prayer that growing numbers of people are seeing in their own lives. More and more, around the world, people are praying with the expectation that God will hear and answer their prayers. And this kind of effective prayer is available to you.
Charles Peter Wagner (August 15, 1930 – October 21, 2016) was a theologian, missiologist, missionary, writer, teacher, and church growth specialist best known for his highly controversial writings on spiritual warfare.
Wagner served as a missionary in Bolivia under the South American Mission and Andes Evangelical Mission (now SIM International) from 1956 to 1971. He then served for 30 years (1971 to 2001) as Professor of Church Growth at the Fuller Theological Seminary's School of World Missions until his retirement in 2001. He is the author of more than 70 books. He was the president of Global Harvest Ministries from 1993 to 2011 and served as the chancellor emeritus of Wagner Leadership Institute, which trains leaders to join in a movement known as the New Apostolic Reformation, an organization Wagner also helped found. He was also the vice president of Global Spheres, Inc.
