Molly Wall (MEd, Oklahoma City University) is a researcher, editor and program director with Operation World, a ministry of WEC International, and is based near London in the UK. She is one of the principal catalysts and researchers behind the latest edition of Operation World and Pray for the World, informing Christians worldwide how they can pray for the nations. A master's graduate in global Christian studies from Providence College and Theological Seminary in Canada, Jason Mandryk sensed that God was putting in him a more global calling to see the big picture, to analyze the trends, and to communicate the global challenge to the church. Jason coauthored the sixth edition of Operation World, released in 2001, with Patrick Johnstone. A regular speaker at mission events, Jason specializes in mission mobilizing, focusing on the biblical basis for mission and weighing strategic considerations for mission today and in the future.

A great description of this is "National Geographic meets Operation World." The pictures, maps, and descriptions of the major world religions are written in clear language on a level that children can easily understand. The stories from the perspective of families from the regions described help children to envision the way that children live around the globe. The clearly laid out prayer requests make it easy for family devotionals. This is an excellent tool to teach your child about world missions, and it also helps anyone of any age get aa visualization of what is happening around the world. Brandon M. Smith
