Welcome to Faith and Worship.com which has been around for a few
years now, albeit in different forms.
The current incarnation of the site is much more personal, being
mainly a collection of prayers written by myself in the last few
years.
A Methodist Lay Preacher and worship leader living in Wales for
around 20 years, I have become increasingly aware of the rich heritage
handed down by the early Christian Saints who set up home in the
wilder regions of this beautiful country.
They looked at the elements around them; the landscape, the sea,
the seasons and the grandeur of the forces of nature and saw within
them the hand of their Creator. Their prayers reflected their awe
and wonder.
I think we have lost sight of this aspect of our God. We have our
eyes glued so close to the ground upon which we walk that we never
look up and see ourselves in relation to the bigger picture.
100+ new prayers on this website are available in a book called
heart2heart (ISBN 0 86071 574 4) available from this
website and from Christian bookshops.
John Birch is also a regular contributor to
the International Bible Reading Fellowship notes, and his prayers
have appeared on the Christian Aid website, Baptist Resources, Church
of England and Methodist publications, and around the world as part
of Christian worship.
