Across the “Heart of Darkness” pastors and leaders faithfully serve in their churches. Many have faced great persecution, sowing with tears, awaiting the harvest God has promised them.

Pray that pastors would be encouraged today with fresh vision to reach out to their communities and faith from heaven to believe that they will see the captive set free, the broken healed, and the lost found. May their passion burn brighter and stronger than ever before!

The following lyrics by Ross Parsley beautifully express the cry of a pastor’s heart, calling out to God for his generation:

Lord, hear our cry

Come heal our land

Breathe life into these dry and thirsty souls

Lord, hear our prayer

Forgive our sin

As we call on your name

Would you make this a place for your glory to dwell

Open the blind eyes

Unlock the deaf ears

Come to your people as we draw near

Hear us from heaven

Touch our generation

We are your people crying out in desperation

Hear us from heaven, Hear us from heaven

- Melodee Gruetzmacher
