Changing the World Through Prayer, Part 1

Prayer aligns our hearts with God’s, and when we put it into practice, He can do incredible things in our lives. In this classic Family Talk conversation, Dr. James Dobson welcomes his longtime friend Dr. Dick Eastman, the late international president of Every Home for Christ and founder of the Change the World School of Prayer. Eastman recalls growing up in poverty, arriving at college with only $20 and learning to depend completely upon God. Eastman also shares the remarkable encounter in a college prayer closet that shaped his marriage to Dee and foretold a ministry through which millions of people would be prayed into God’s Kingdom. That calling eventually led him to Every Home for Christ, global evangelistic campaigns and the Prayer Corps—a century’s worth of prayer offered by 100 young believers. From the legacy of Bill and Vonette Bright to the unforgettable story of a stuffed purple pig, Eastman’s testimony reveals what God can accomplish through persistent prayer and complete surrender: “If you will give Me everything you have, I will give you everything I have.”
