Pray

Lifewords' online prayer space

Each month we pray for the impact of the people who are bringing life around the world through Lifewords projects and resources.

Lifebringers

This month we’d love you to join us in praying for the Lifebringers. Who do you know in your church, family, community or street who is bringing life to others?

Lifebringers bring life where they are – in their neighbourhood, church, or workplace. It’s about sharing the life-giving message of the Bible in word and deed. The Lifebringers you know could be church leaders, youth workers, school teachers, care workers, or they could simply be a friend, church member or someone you know locally. Take a moment to think and reflect on the people you know who are sharing the love of Jesus and bringing life.

In addition to the Lifebringers you know, our blog is full of stories from people around the world – take a moment to read one or two of these stories, and pray for the work and ministry of these people.

Give thanks for people all around the world who are bringing life.

Praise God for the individuals you know who are sharing God’s love. Pray that they would be filled with the Holy Spirit so they can continue serving others with compassion, enthusiasm and joy.

Are you a Lifebringer? We’d love to hear how you’re bringing life and pray for you.

Pray with us for … our Indonesia hub

Working in rural and urban contexts, our ministry in Indonesia is all about equipping people for one-to-one evangelism. Lifewords Indonesia offers training and resources for sharing life words – through Bible booklets and through The Visible Story, a picture-based story-telling resource designed for non-literature communities. The work in Indonesia is led by Gunar Sahari.

Give thanks for LifeKids – operating in over 60 locations across Indonesia, LifeKids offers an opportunity for young people to gather for games, singing, Bible stories, group discussion and prayer. Each session typically lasts two hours, with most ministries welcoming over 150 children.

Pray for the children who attend, and for the ministry leaders who are building the next generation of leaders with a heart for the poor and a passion for the Bible.

Give thanks for mobile missions – the Indonesia hub sends out groups of volunteers on “mobile missions” to connect with communities across the country, some of which are in rural locations. The teams train pastors, church leaders, Sunday school teachers and Bible college students how to use The Visible Story and other Lifewords resources.

Pray for the ongoing work of this ministry and for the people receiving support and training.

Radek’s story: Hands and hearts

Radek Gasza leads a ministry in Poland that provides material and spiritual aid to both refugees abroad and communities within Ukraine. Their Good Centre in Warsaw is a support project for refugees, providing assistance, including food, clothing, and material support to over 100 people every day.

They run regular group therapy sessions, Polish language classes, and sessions for seniors. The Good Centre also serves as an organisational base for humanitarian convoys to Ukraine where over 50 volunteers have been involved in regular trips, dedicating their time and energy to deliver essential support directly to Ukraine.

Pray for Radek and Good Works Mission as they continue to help those whose lives have been impacted by the ongoing war in Ukraine.

Pray for resilience and hope for the volunteers and those they are serving. Pray for an end to the war, and for lasting peace.

Read more about how Radek is bringing life on our blog.

Could you spend some time praying for Lifewords yourself, in a small group, prayer triplet or as part of a church prayer meeting?
