Felecia Thompson, Director of Domestic Mission, Christ Church of Oak Brook, Illinois

 "I love my city. All of it. Since I can't be in every neighborhood in Chicago physically, this prayer guide is an excellent and necessary tool for me to still be a part of God's work in the entire city through prayer. Now I can pray for all of Chicago while I live and focus on my community."

"The Prayer Guide, compiled by Dr. John Fuder, is a fantastic resource for Chicagoan Christians. There is a helpful and concise history given for each of the 77 neighborhoods, which in and of itself makes it a great tool. In addition, specific themes and prayer requests are shared for each of those neighborhoods, allowing us to be equipped to specifically pray for the city as a whole."
