The 40 days leading to Easter are often linked to Jesus’ time in the wilderness. 40 days of prayer and fasting. Facing temptation, but emerging victorious. This year, 24-7 Prayer and CSW are partnering to share wilderness tales: Christians who faced fierce battles because of their faith in Jesus, yet encountered God in the midst of it.
