Communities can change when believers learn to pray for them with vision, perseverance, and love.

Many Christians care deeply about their neighborhoods and cities but feel overwhelmed by division, injustice, spiritual need, and social brokenness. At the Gates helps readers move from concern to focused intercession by offering a clear and hopeful framework for praying over the places where they live and serve.

This volume in the On Earth As In Heaven series centers on neighborhoods, schools, businesses, civic institutions, ministries, and vulnerable populations. Devotional Insights help readers see their communities through a kingdom lens. PrayerPoints bring focus to specific needs, while PrayerScripts provide guided language for praying about peace, justice, reconciliation, leadership, safety, and spiritual renewal.
