Prayer

45.2 million are forcibly displaced worldwide- and nearly half of these are children.

Pray today for these children and families and for our team as they create new programs specifically for refugees around the world.

In Zimbabwe, we are partnering with an organization to design a curriculum that will be used in their public schools. They have a well-developed approach to farming, and we are coming alongside them to provide lessons and a Book of Hope student workbook. Please pray for the writers, editors, and artists involved, and that the curriculum will bring hope to the teachers and students who participate.

A new youth book is in development for Japan. Please pray for the research being done and the content being developed to strike the hearts of Japanese teens. The knowledge of the one true God who cares for them is not a part of their worldview. This understanding can transform their lives and eternal destinies, and we desire for this new book to be a powerful instrument in that process.

Incredible Islands is an online, virtual world designed to extend the reach of the Church’s weekend programming throughout the entire week. Children can deepen their understanding of the Bible, practice praying for their needs and the needs of others, memorize Scripture verses and participate in community and team activities in a fun and engaging digital environment. 

Please Pray:

• For the growing American generation who are in church so little that they hardly see the relevance of God’s Word to their lives. Pray that they would be called back to the Church and that the Church would be a significant force in the life of today’s children.
• For a move of the Global Church to see its next generation as more than just children. Pray that they would see them as the future, the presidents and pastors, the leaders of business and society and that, as a result, next generation ministries would become a priority.
• That the Church will have a renewed vision for reaching children and youth.

Developing new ways to share God’s Story today! We love the freedom to innovate and be creative as we test new ways to bring God’s Word to life for kids.

This new program will bring the Gospel to kids in disaster and distress.

Please Pray: 

• For our team as they develop the materials and curriculum for this new program.
• For our partners to have wisdom as they share the Gospel to children in need.

 

In partnership with the International Sports Coalition, we are designing a Cricket program for 9 to 12 year old children in Southern Asia. This curriculum introduces the big story of Scripture in conjunction with foundational Cricket skills and life values such as integrity, self-control, leadership  and perseverance. Products include a Trainer’s Manual, Coach’s Manual, Athlete Skill cards and a Book of Hope. Please pray for those involved in the design of these products and for the hearts of the children who will receive them.
