• 2004 Prayer Guide (Microsoft Word (.doc) document, 532KB)
  2004 Prayer Guide (Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) document, 89KB)
  Join us on a trip through a typical Maltese village - magnificent church buildings, traveling vendors and other features - praying for the Maltese people as we explore.

• 2003 Personal / Corporate Prayer Guide (Microsoft Word document) You can use this as a guide to your own personal prayer for the Maltese Islands, praying through in detail, or you could print it as a bulletin insert and use it to lead your church in a time of corporate prayer during your regular church service. Estimated time to pray: 15 minutes to 1 hour.

• Concert of Prayer 2002 (Microsoft Word document) A leader's guide for a church or group prayer service. Lead the congregation through times of Adoration and Praise, Thanksgiving, Confession / Repentance, Petition, and Intercession for Malta. Estimated time to pray: 1 to 2 hours.

  
  

  Ideas for use: The prayer guides are one-page documents suitable for printing, photocopying and distributing to church members. Ideal for insertion in bulletins, using a prayer guide will help you lead a group in prayer for the Maltese Islands, or can be used by individuals for personal prayer time.

  If you are organising a group prayer time, you could set up different "stations" within a room, each representing a different feature or point as shown in the prayer guide - then have groups or individuals "prayerwalk" the stations.

  Ideas for use: You can use a powerpoint presentation to lead a group of people in a time of guided prayer for the Maltese Islands, or distribute to others for home use. Alternatively if you have a prayer room set up, you can have the presentation running automatically in part of the room. If you need help with doing this or have questions, please contact the PrayMalta webservant

  The use of the slide show files requires the PowerPoint program or at least a viewer, and a projector or computer. A free PowerPoint viewer that you can download to your computer is available here
