“Ask of Me, and I will make the nations your inheritance,
the ends of the earth your possession.” - Psalm 2:8

Throughout history, God has advanced His mission through praying people. Prayer is not a supporting activity to mission - it is the engine that goes before it, preparing hearts, opening doors, and releasing the purposes of God among the nations. Wherever sustained prayer rises, light begins to dawn. This guide invites you to stand in that holy convergence where prayer and mission meet - until the light breaks through!

In recent years, there has been encouraging momentum through Bible translation, digital engagement, and the growth of indigenous witness. Yet the Buddhist world remains one of the greatest Gospel frontiers of our time. Around 500 million people identify as Buddhist, and across this vast spiritual landscape nearly three quarters of Buddhist-majority people groups remain unreached, with little access to the Gospel, Scripture, or a local church. Many live with deep spiritual longing, but without the light of Christ clearly shining among them.

International Prayer Connect partners with church-planting movements and mission networks to ensure that courageous missionaries and local believers are fuelled and surrounded by a canopy of worldwide prayer as they faithfully share the Gospel. We believe prayer prepares the ground for lasting breakthrough!
