We gather to worship each Sunday and then are sent to live our worship in all the places where God sends us. These places (coffee shops, hospitals, arenas and ball diamonds, health clinics and everywhere in between) are places we encounter people. Might these people whom we encounter be people we pray for? If we choose to pray for our neighbors, we do so because we believe the future can be changed. We also pray for our neighbors because we want them to experience the nearness of God’s kingdom. Praying for the Neighborhood helps readers understand prayer within a theology of the kingdom of God. Specific stories and prayers for neighbors are included so that imaginations are opened to ways neighbors can be prayed for.
