God's World to Win

How one book impacted the nations

For over fifty years, Operation World—the first survey of the spiritual needs of every nation—has inspired Christians worldwide to pray for countries and peoples. But how did this expansive prayer resource come to be? In God’s World to Win, Patrick Johnstone shares his personal story—from bullied schoolboy with an undiagnosed learning disorder to global missions strategist. While some friends encouraged him to write his personal biography and others urged him to record the story of Operation World, Patrick chose to do both. Discover the story of how one of the world’s most transformative prayer tools was born. 

Motivated by a passion for the nations and their evangelization, Patrick spent countless hours gathering hard-to-find statistics, mapping hidden people groups, and crafting prayer points that would equip millions to intercede with insight and purpose. His journey reveals how God worked through divine appointments and unexpected challenges.

God’s World to Win will encourage you to dream boldly and persevere in obedience as you consider how God might use your own gifts to bless the nations.
