Pray

Each month we will be using this space to share how you can be praying for our work and ministry.

This January, join us in praying for the impact of the people who are bringing life around the world through Lifewords projects and resources.

Wonder of Wellbeing Gower in Wales seeks to meet people where they are and encourage curiosity, connection with nature, and spiritual reflection through outdoor experiences. Their ‘Art Show: A Journey of Prayer’, at St Mary’s Church in Rhossili, explored the Lord's Prayer through art, and helped people reflect on ideas of connection, forgiveness and guidance, as well as offering space for personal insight and contemplation.

As part of the exhibition, Little Book of Prayer, along with other titles in the Little Book series, was offered to take away, read and reflect on. The Little Books extended the experience beyond the church doors, allowing visitors to carry a piece of contemplation with them into daily life.

Alongside the exhibition, the team ran a series of workshops exploring nature, creativity, and wellbeing all with the aim of helping people dig deeper into their faith and spirituality. A permanent art exhibition can be found at St Mary’s Church in Rhossili.

Pray that God would continue to use the team at Wonder of Wellbeing Gower to foster community and encourage contemplation. Pray that as people join together to explore spirituality and connect with nature that they would learn more about God and about themselves.

Pray with us for … our Europe hub

Pray with us for … our Europe hub

The Lifewords team based in Poland lead our Global Bible Resource programme, working on new titles, translations and digital resources, and sending Bible resources all over the world. They also oversee Life Changing Words, our daily email service. The team also runs our global distribution centre that serves the whole Lifewords family. If you don't have a Lifewords hub near you, you can still order Bible literature from our Global Bible Resources website and receive materials by post, wherever you are in the world.

Give thanks for the continued growth of our digital outreach. Last year our animations were played more than 2.29 million times, and since the YouTube campaign began in mid-2023 they have now exceeded 5 million plays. Please pray that these short pieces continue to open gentle pathways into the good news for people across many languages and contexts.

Give thanks for the worldwide distribution work coordinated from Poland. Over the past year we have supported individuals and churches in 60 countries with resources in 55 languages. Towards the end of last year we also completed 27 reprints and revisions of some of our most widely used booklets. Please pray for wisdom and efficiency as we navigate logistical challenges — customs changes, postal delays, and varied local conditions — so that resources continue to reach those who most need them.

Pray for the Lifebringers 

Melissa's story: Helping those in crisis to find meaning

Melissa works as a mental health chaplain, supporting individuals who are experiencing crisis and acute mental health struggles. Lifewords resources are an important part of her work as she works with people who find themselves in confusing and chaotic situations. For many of the people she supports, Lifewords Little Books bring a deeply needed source of hope: “These booklets bring an amazing sense of comfort to our patients. They encourage people in their faith when life feels hard, and they are distanced from home and all that is familiar.”

Pray for Melissa that God would give her strength, resilience and compassion for the important work she does. Pray that as she shares Lifewords resources, people would find comfort, hope and encouragement in God’s Word.
