If you've read David Platt's Radical, at the end of the book, he extends the Radical Challenge. One portion of the challenge is to pray for a different country every day for one year.
One resource to help you do this is written by Operation World. They have a book, CD-ROM, DVD or online tools that direct your prayers and give you information about the politics, religion and current status of every nation in the world.
Our family has just started doing this and it's quickly becoming a highlight of my mornings. We're using the website http://www.operationworld.org/ and we're also marking each country on blank maps (both a global one and regional ones) so that way we're studying world geography too...you gotta LOVE home schooling! So far we've learned about Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria and American Samoa.
But whether you home school or not, the website is worth a look. You'll quickly become aware that there's a whole big world out there full of people that have never heard of Jesus or the sacrifice He made for them.
And if you're really up for a challenge, read Radical, take the Radical Challenge and prepare to be forever changed!
