Welcome to Listen – Live – Love!

Whatever your age, place or background, we are so pleased that you are here!

“Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance.”
(Psalm 2:8, NIV)

This special edition Children’s Prayer Guide for Buddhist Peoples 2026 invites you all on a joyful 7-day journey of prayer, worship, and discovery, created especially for children aged 6–12.

As you use this guide together, children will learn to Listen to God, Live as children who belong to Jesus, and Love people around the world. Each day focuses on a different country or city where many children have never heard about Jesus — and your prayers truly matter.

Real Stories, Real Places, Real Prayer

The stories in this guide are inspired by real people, real families, and real communities. They reflect everyday life in different nations — children going to school, helping at home, playing with friends, and asking big questions about life. These stories help children understand that God cares deeply about people everywhere and is at work in every culture.

Alongside the stories, you’ll find Bible verses, Justin’s Thoughts, simple prayers, colouring, language learning, and worship songs to help you engage with your whole hearts, minds, and bodies.
Each day includes a children’s worship song, plus the specially written Listen • Live • Love theme song. Children are encouraged to sing, move, dance, and do the actions — worship is something we enjoy together! Singing the theme song every day helps us remember the message and grow in confidence.

“"النور يضيء في الظلام، والظلام لم يغلبه".”
(John 1:5, NIV)

How to Use This Guide

Use the guide at a time that works for you! — before school, after tea, or at bedtime.
You don’t need to do everything.
Take a few minutes each day to read, pray, sing, and talk together, and let children lead whenever they can.

An adult version of this prayer guide is also available on the website, so parents, carers, and leaders can pray alongside children and explore the same journey in greater depth.

A Blessing for You All

May your homes be filled with God’s peace and joy as you pray together.
May the children grow confident in who they are in Christ.
And may you all shine the love of Jesus wherever you go.
