Partner in Prayer

Thank you for joining us in prayer!

Each month we’ll update this page with new requests. We invite you to come back regularly to find other ways you can pray for our partners and ministry around the world.

“The words of the holy one, the true one, who has the key of David, who opens and no one will shut, who shuts and no one opens” (Revelation 3:7 ESV).

Recently I was in Nepal, gazing from a scenic viewpoint some 8,000 feet above sea level over the densely populated Kathmandu Valley, with the Himalayan range rising majestically in the background. It was a sight both breathtaking and burdening — the splendor of God in his majestic creation, and the brokenness of humanity in their lost condition were juxtaposed in a way that made my heart sing and sink with  sorrow. At the top of that hill was a Hindu temple dedicated to the god of evil, because people are taught that the only way not to be oppressed by evil is to offer worship to this false god. Seeing people created in God’s image paying homage at this temple reminded me of the urgency of the work we are doing, in partnership with you, in these hard places. 

We bring good news to all the world from a Savior who is holy, holy, holy in all his ways. His splendor outshines the sun. In him there is no darkness at all.  And he is the True One who cannot lie, whose truth will set us free from our bondage to sin and Satan. When we bring his holy truth to the nations, we need not fear the darkness because Jesus has the key of David — all the royal authority of a kingdom that cannot be destroyed belongs to our Lord and Savior. We can advance the gospel into places that seem to be in the grip of the Evil One with confidence that our King Jesus can open the strongholds of darkness and set captives free; and, he can close doors too, barring access to the Evil One and keeping his people safe in the shelter of his protecting presence. With such a holy, true, and strong King to lead us, we press on with courage,

We go to all the world

With kingdom hope unfurled

No other name has power to save

But Jesus Christ the Lord!

Thank you for praying with us this month for our partners and their work in the vast continent of East and South Asia. 

• South Asia: Praise for the development of northern and southern training areas in a restricted access country. God has multiplied this effort in the region as four new groups have been added in 2025, and we will move toward virtual training in 2026. God is ensuring that pastors are equipped to preach the Word faithfully through some very knowledgeable and energized partners. Please also remember our partner connected with Church in Hard Places, South Asia as he launches his first cohort for training pastors and church planters this fall.
• East Asia: Pray for the work in a closed country in East Asia as conditions continue to change. The government has been questioning more people connected with churches and has been trying to stop training activities. But that has not stopped God’s advancement of his Word. Praise God for a generous gift to WordPartners from a group of house churches in the closed country. An influx of people into Thailand from East Asia has led to renewed contact with a former translator from the closed country. We hope to meet with the translator next year to explore new training opportunities.
• Bangladesh: Praise God for the graduation of a second generation group. Pray as the country continues to be in an interim political state that the training will continue to multiply in spite of the political obstacles.
• Nepal: Nepali pastors and churches need much prayer because of the recent upheaval of the government. Pray for a peaceful resolution to the ongoing conflict and that God would use this national affliction to ignite hunger for spiritual things among the Nepali people. Ask the Lord to continually multiply the training (currently 15 groups), which is currently led by our partners. Pray for our recent connection with Church in Hard Places Nepal.
