Here is an example of a prayer guide{more than a "pray 4 Aunt Betty in the hospital"} Does your church use prayer guides? URBAN CHINA PRAYER GUIDE. Lift up the writing, editing and production of a prayer guide focused on urban China. More than half of China’s 1.3 billion people now live in urban areas. The unique set of needs and opportunities this situation has created needs informed, persistent prayer by God’s people. MINISTRY CONTEXT. Praise God for the urban poor ministry movement in the Philippines, which has started 40 churches in 10 years. Pray for foreign workers whose backgrounds make church multiplication more difficult to grasp in this ministry context. HUNGRY FOR GOD’S WORD. Some neighborhood children called out to Christian workers in the Philippines: “When are we going to have Bible study?” Their last Bible lesson had been five months ago. Praise God for young Filipino hearts that hunger for God’s word. Pray for truth to transform hearts, resulting in faithful young disciples. TRUST-BUILDING. The headmaster of a local school in Southeast Asia with whom Christian workers partner does not want to work with some of their teammates because he suspects they intend to proselytize. Pray for the team as they seek to be truthful while also sensitive and tactful. Pray for trust to build between the team and community. WORKERS FOR THAILAND. Christian workers recently moved into a new community in Thailand where less than 0.2 percent of people know Christ. Pray that new relationships are filled with trust and love. Pray also that God sends more workers into South and Northeast Thailand, as people have no gospel access and the workers are few.
