"Operation World" is not a term found in the Bible itself; rather, it refers to a contemporary prayer resource and mission initiative that aims to encourage Christians to pray for the nations of the world. It was first published in 1974 by Patrick Johnstone and has since been updated to provide information on various countries, including demographics, religious backgrounds, and specific prayer needs. The goal of Operation World is to inspire believers to engage in global missions and prayer, aligning with the Biblical mandate found in passages such as Matthew 28:19-20, where Jesus commands His followers to "make disciples of all nations."In a broader biblical context, the concept aligns with the Great Commission and emphasizes the importance of prayer in missionary work. Scriptures such as 1 Timothy 2:1-4, which encourages prayers for all people and leaders so that they may come to know salvation, resonate with the initiative's purpose. By facilitating informed prayer for different countries, Operation World embodies the call to intercede for the nations and supports the global mission of the Church, reflecting the heart of God for all peoples as expressed in Psalms 67:1-2: "May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine on us, that your ways may be known on earth, your salvation among all nations."
