Welcome to the weekend, and welcome to the Saturday 7.
When Peter Greer witnessed a family’s intentionality in prayer before discussing which organizations to support, his curiosity was piqued. This week’s top story is an excerpt from Lead with Prayer, the book that resulted from the three years of research and interviews that followed.
Greer and his co-authors spoke with Christian leaders around the world to find out how great leaders pray and the results those prayers bring. Find this book and more resources for Christian givers in our Generosity library.
