Rediscover the transformative power of intercessory prayer with our special guests, Paul and Jan Smith from New Zealand. Reflecting on their teenage years, they share how the fervent prayers of elderly church members, especially Mr. Wheatley, left an indelible mark on their spiritual journey. Paul expresses his desire to revive the passionate 'cry' of intercession he witnessed in his youth, which has inspired his aspirations to pen a book about the power of prayer. We discuss how the dynamics within Christian communities have morphed over time and the need for a spiritual reset, especially in the wake of COVID-19.

Join us as we explore the priceless legacy of intercessory prayer and the responsibility of passing this spiritual heritage to future generations. Paul and Jan delve into how the wisdom imparted by past generations has shaped their spiritual path and the distinction between carrying the burden of God's heart and movements of Holy Spirit renewal, such as healing and sending. This heartfelt conversation underscores the importance of documenting and sharing these treasured experiences for the benefit of those who will follow, ensuring the continuity of this spiritual inheritance.

My guest today is Peter Muller. Before entering the world of education, Peter was a professional athlete, retiring from the Toronto Argonauts after nine seasons of playing in the NFL. As a kingdom-minded Christian, he not only lived out his faith in the area of sports, but in the off-season served in several third world nations with World Vision. As a pioneer of ministry, Peter played a key role in founding Athletes In Action. Established in 1974, AIA's purpose was simple: telling others about the hope they found in Christ. From that initiative began an athletic movement in Canada designed to impact the nation.

After this, Peter gave himself to education, both at home and abroad - teacher, principal, counsellor, consultant. He continues his work at Master's Academy in Calgary heading up their R&D department. Peter and his wife, Janet, have four children and four grandchildren.
