\u201cI knew I had to do something to help…\u201d<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Prayer underpins everything we do. For the whole CSW team and those whom we serve, prayer is what makes this work possible. It\u2019s prayer that sets people free from prison. It\u2019s prayer that changes nations and it\u2019s prayer that brings freedom.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why we were so privileged recently to spend time chatting with Ros Dalton, one of CSW\u2019s Ambassadors, who has run a prayer group for us for 18 years. Their faithful prayer has underpinned us and our work time and time again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here Ros shares her passion for prayer…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you tell us a little about what first prompted you to run a prayer group for the persecuted Church?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I was listening to Premier Radio, to a show called Voice for the Voiceless with Mervyn Thomas and Stuart Windsor, talking about persecuted Christians around the world. I didn\u2019t know anything about it before this, but I thought I had to do something about it. I thought there must be other people feeling the same way as I did and if we could get together to pray, that would be something positive we could do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you tell us about a time when you saw your prayers answered?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We were praying for Pastor Yousef Nadarkhani as part of CSW\u2019s 24 hours of prayer for him on the day he was due to appear in court. I had just finished my half hour slot and as soon as I turned on my computer, I discovered that he had been released from prison. It was amazing, I was really excited!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was even more exciting later on, when he came to speak at CSW\u2019s conference. When he got up to speak, I had a clue that it was going to be him, but when I saw him I started crying. It was so wonderful to see him there in the flesh as we\u2019d been praying for him individually and as a group for many months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What advice would you give to someone who might want to set up a prayer group?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d just say, go for it! You can do as little or as much as you like, but it\u2019s better to do something than nothing. Even if there\u2019s only two or three of you praying together regularly, it\u2019s still so powerful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
