Welcome to Light in the Story! – 10 Days of Prayer for the Hindu World 2025

“Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
- Matthew 5:16

We’re so glad you’re here! This 10-day prayer journey is designed for all children everywhere, but especially for children under the age of 13 and others who want to pray with them. Together, we want to discover the amazing stories Jesus told and to join believers around the world in united prayer.

From Friday 17th October to Sunday 26th October, each day of the guide focuses on a powerful theme - like Lost, Peace, Treasure, Courage, and Future. Children will read one of Jesus’ parables, reflect on it, pray a simple Spirit-led prayer, and enjoy fun action ideas they can do at home. There’s also a short memory verse each day, plus a worship song to sing along with.

You can use this guide as a personal or family devotion time in the morning, at bedtime or when you pray with others. Each page is packed with color, creativity, and opportunities to grow in prayer together

And here’s something really special - the prayers of children are a BIG part of a global move of prayer! Every day, adults around the world are also praying - especially for the Hindu world, that children and families will come to know Jesus, the true Light of the World. This Guide is designed to help children find simple ways to join in with these global prayers, lifting their voices in unity with believers around the world.

We believe God will speak to and through children as they pray - and will inspire parents and other adults as they join them.

So grab your Bibles, and some colouring pens, and maybe even a bowl of snacks… because this October, we’re going on an adventure with Jesus’ stories together!

As John 8:12 reminds us:
“I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

Let’s pray, play, and praise - together as God’s Big Worldwide family!

Our prayer is that you will be blessed and encouraged as you spend these 10 days with us.
