Mark Batterson states, "I believe prayer is the difference between the best you can do and the best God can do. It's the difference between letting things happen and making things happen. It's the difference between you fighting for God and God fighting for you." In this dynamic five-week church campaign, you and your church members will be challenged to take up the 40-day prayer challenge and press into God like never before. Using insightful stories and teaching, Mark will show how drawing circles in prayer will not only change your church members' lives today but will also impact the rest of their lives.

This curriculum kit includes:

• One Draw the Circle book
• One Draw the Circle Study Guide
• One Draw the Circle Video Study, containing five small-group video sessions, five sermon outlines, and all the church promotional materials needed to successfully launch and sustain a five-week church experience
• One Draw the Circle Children's DVD-ROM, containing five weeks of detailed teaching outlines and scripts, engaging group activities, craft ideas, and weekly family take-home page for preschool, early elementary, and later elementary-aged children
