World Prayer Today

We’re flinging the seed

October 11, 2024

Dr. J. Vernon McGee once said, “Thru the Bible is in the seed-sowing business. Our job is to fling the seed.” Today, as God’s Word is broadcast in over 250 languages worldwide, we are excited to advance that mission.

Describe the Bible in one word

October 10, 2024

How would you describe the Bible in just one word? It’s challenging, isn’t it? Maybe words like transformative, timeless, sacred, or life-changing come to mind. For Rachel, a student in Canada, one word that describes the Bible is relevant.

Pray for the U.S. Virgin Islands

God’s comfort is real

October 07, 2024

In reflecting on the profound grief of losing his first-born daughter, Dr. McGee described the unique and devastating heartache of losing a child.

Pray as God Word goes out in “spiritually dark” Taiwan

October 04, 2024

In previous prayer journeys through Taiwan, we hear that many describe the island nation as spiritually dark. With the majority of the population following a blend of Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, and traditional folk religions, we have a lot to pray about.

Setting our minds on things above

October 03, 2024

The world has a way of getting us down. Distractions, frustrations, temptations, fears often weigh on us—for some, even daily. These struggles can overshadow our spiritual focus and lead us away from the peace and joy found in Christ. A listener in South Korea experienced this firsthand until he hopped on the Bible Bus.

Praying for adult children

October 02, 2024

Parenting doesn’t end when our children are grown. In many ways, guiding them through adulthood can be just as challenging as raising them. They likely have moved out of the family home, may have their own families, and we no longer have the same influence over their lives. That’s the situation faced by Chen in China.

God’s relentless love

October 01, 2024

God’s love is relentless. That’s what Dr. McGee tells us in his study of Hosea, and that’s what Lo in Hong Kong wants to share with others.

Praying for communities in Jordan to turn to Jesus

September 25, 2024

Following Jesus in Jordan is both unusual and difficult. A staggering 14 of 21 people groups have never heard the gospel there; and those who have heard the good news and have believed in Him face persecution because of strict government policies.

Prayer prompts for Azerbaijan

September 24, 2024

Praying for new life in Yemen

September 23, 2024

“Is Jesus real?” That’s the question Samira in Yemen recently asked our team in the Middle East.

Praying for former prisoners

September 20, 2024

“I am a mother of three children, and I was arrested for drug trafficking. I suffered a lot in prison. I am ashamed to leave the house. Many here still condemn me, it is only in Jesus I find forgiveness. I am fed by the Word heard on your programs. Please continue.”

Our primary purpose is to please the Lord

September 19, 2024

When we choose to follow Jesus, we don’t follow rules, we follow principles. Our primary purpose is to please God. That’s the good news Dr. McGee shared in our study of Galatians, and it’s just what Amadin in Benin needed to hear.

Pray God’s Word runs swiftly through Sierra Leone

September 18, 2024

In 1785, Sierra Leone became the first west African nation to hear the gospel. Today only 11% of the population calls Jesus their Lord.

September 16, 2024

Jonah, David, Peter—the Bible is filled with people who received second, third, and even fourth chances from God. William from Liberia is grateful for their examples and shares his story of God’s unending mercy in His life.
