Overview:
Tearing Down Strongholds: Prayer for Buddhists is a powerful resource designed for Christians who seek to engage in intentional and strategic prayer for the advancement of the gospel within the Buddhist world. This book serves as a guide for those who wish to support missionaries and Buddhists through prayer by breaking down spiritual strongholds and fostering understanding of the Buddhist faith.
The book originated from a talk at a prayer conference and evolved through collaborative efforts from prayer warriors and missionaries who recognized the need for a practical prayer resource. With its roots in prayer meetings for missionaries working in Buddhist regions, the book aims to equip Christians with the tools and understanding necessary for impactful intercession.
Initially, the manuscript contained two chapters: "Preparing the Ground Through Prayer" and "Supporting New Christians Through Prayer." As feedback from co-workers indicated the need for more background on Buddhist teachings, an additional chapter was added to provide foundational information about Buddhism, with contributions from Anne Schaefer. Furthermore, the book includes a chapter on biblical models of spiritual warfare, offering insights drawn from Bible studies conducted by Paul Wagner for missionaries on the front lines of Buddhist territories.
This book is both a spiritual guide and a resource to foster a deeper prayer life for those invested in spreading the gospel to Buddhists and supporting those who have come to Christ from Buddhist backgrounds.
