GOD LISTENS
PRAY FOR THE NATIONS
God hears us when we pray according to His will. We see Him working in the lives of our families, friends, neighbours and colleagues as we pray for the needs of those close to us.
However, there are more than 3 billion people around the world who don’t know God. Often, they don’t even know a single Jesus follower who can tell them that God listens to their prayers. Many of these people are concentrated across five geographic areas: the Sahel, the Arabian Peninsula, the North Caucasus, South Asia and the Mekong.
Will you join believers around the world in praying for people in these places who have never heard about God’s plan for redemption? Together, we will lift up Jesus followers who are boldly sharing Christ’s love in some of these areas and ask God for more people to join them in reaching those who don’t know Him.
Download the Prayer Reach app today
Prayer Reach is an app for iPhone, iPad and Android devices that acts as a catalyst for prayer that reaches into the communities of the world where churches are few, and Jesus followers are often not present. By spending time in prayer for people who do not yet know God's amazing love, we align our hearts and minds with His, and open ourselves to how He might desire to use us for His work in the world.

People of Other Faiths
Pray Light and Love
As followers of Christ, we take Jesus’ strong exhortation to “love God and love neighbour" very seriously.
People of other faiths are our neighbours, and one way we love them is by praying blessings on them, their families, and communities and the cities they live in around the world.
