Prayer for Children - Compassion International

Prayer Is Powerful

"For children living in poverty, there is often no safety net. Hunger, disease and disaster are constantly pressing in.

"That's why prayer matters so much.

"When faced with the challenges posed by poverty, prayer is a lifeline. Every month, our staff around the world sends us prayer requests on behalf of the children we serve. The requests are for children who are sick, for families that are fractured, for the lost to be found — for miracles."

Pray... for the peace of Jerusalem!

A practical guide for those who desire to pray for the land and people of Israel

"There are two cities in the world that the Lord commands every believer to pray for. The first one is the city where we live (Jer 29:7 and 1 Tim 2:1-2) and the second one is Jerusalem (Psalm 122:6). Sad to say, most believers still do not understand the importance of praying and interceding for Jerusalem. However, the truth is that the fate of Jerusalem concerns every individual on this planet simply because only when Jerusalem is at peace will the world have peace. So we must care for Jerusalem and sow our prayers day and night for that city even if they will not be answered in our lifetime. Jerusalem is top priority for Jesus because it is His city. He himself called Jerusalem "The City of the Great King" in Matthew 5:35. It is the city He will return to as King of Kings and Lord of Lords when the leaders of Jerusalem cry out, "Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord." (Matt 23:39)"

Intercessors for America

"Intercessors for America (IFA) is a 501(c)(3) ministry organization and was founded in 1973 when God impressed upon the hearts of a group of godly, respected men the necessity of prayer and fasting. The nation was experiencing a plethora of problems. The Watergate scandal, Vietnam War, Arab oil embargo, Roe v. Wade, a growing acceptance of drug use, and other challenges were changing the way Americans lived and thought.

"A group of Christians at a teaching conference in Florida focused on “prayer for the nations.” Challenged by the fresh and extraordinary teachings of the conference leaders, Derek Prince and Ern Baxter, a half dozen men were chosen to steward the movement of prayer and fasting for the nation. This group would become Intercessors for America. One of the first activities of the organization took place at a large dining table where John Talcott and his wife, Roselyn, wrote and assembled a prayer letter. This prayer letter was mailed to a group of like-minded people who recognized the need for God to intervene in U.S. governmental and cultural issues. From these beginnings, IFA has grown to impact the masses. Our leadership is comprised of staff and a board of directors, some of whom have been with the ministry since its inception."

"Joshua Project is a research initiative seeking to highlight the ethnic people groups of the world with the fewest followers of Christ. Accurate, updated ethnic people group information is critical for understanding and completing the Great Commission. Revelation 5:9 and 7:9-10 show that there will be some from every tribe, tongue, nation and people before the Throne."

Pray for Missionaries

"Perhaps God has placed a desire in your heart to pray for missionaries everywhere, or maybe for one particular missionary. Either way, God has a great plan to use you to help complete his mission of making his name known among the nations as you participate through prayer. Use these seven points to fuel your prayers for missionaries and Bible translation work around the world."

Wycliffe - Pray for Missionaries


"The following are Scripture prayers that you can use to intercede for missionaries. They are based on the Word of God and you can plead them with faith and confidence. In order to use them, place the name of the missionary in the blank and plead the truth of the Scripture in his or her behalf."

Scripture Prayers for Missionaries (PDF)

"Acts 13 and 14 communicate one of the most pivotal stories in all of missions history. They relay the first recorded sending of missionaries by a local church in Scripture. Paul and Barnabas were commissioned for their particular task in a worship service, complete with singing, prayer, fasting, and the laying on of hands.

"Pastor John Piper claimed of this passage, “This moment of prayer and fasting resulted in a missions movement that would make Christianity the dominant religion of the Roman Empire within two-and-a-half centuries and would yield 1.3 billion adherents of the Christian religion today with a Christian witness in virtually every country of the world.” "
