Lynnda Ell's books have impacted missionaries in India.

Lynnda Ell, author of Changing Me, Change the World and Words of Power, Echoes of Praise, was inspired to share the power of praying God’s words while watching her daughter recover after a car accident. Since then, her books of prayer have reached all over the world, including Russia, Austria, Great Britain and Mexico. She received the photo to the left from missionaries and church planters in Ranchi, India. Ell says she hopes her books will help Christians that feel dissatisfied or intimidated with prayer.
“Our world is shaken in every way on every continent. Regardless of a Christian’s location, culture, or circumstances, praying from the Bible ties us with unbreakable cords to the God who controls every facet of our lives,” says Ell.
