How does this page work?
- Choose a country* to pray for from the list, map, or suggestion bar.
- Learn about the country and how Jesus is at work. Find out specific ways to pray for the people who live there. While there are 251 countries and territories in the world, there are actually thousands of unique people groups. Some ideas to get you started:
- Joshua Project
- Operation World
- Prayercast
- A printable map resource that you can use as a visual aid to pray.
- Search for news or other information about that country.
- Gather a group or take time on your own to pray.
- Under the “Which country did you pray for?”, submit your group or name as you would like to appear. When you make a submission, it might take a while to show up, so you only need to do it once. We hope to see people from all across Canada praying together!
* Countries and territories loosely based on the ISO 3166 standard.
