Please join us in praying for…

Europe & CAMENA

While Europe, Central Asia, the Middle East and North Africa are diverse in culture and language, one commonality is the need to hear the gospel. Radio programming, media content, training conferences and missionaries are all part of our ministry in this region of the world.

1. Pray that God's love would unite and rebuild communities through How Are You, Out There?, TWR Ukraine's newest video series.
2. Across the Middle East and North Africa, our partner, Together Network, trains believers to lead small groups and disciple others using Discipleship Essentials. Pray for those who have received this training and are discipling believers across the
   region.
3. As we work with several TWR partners across Europe and CAMENA to create Android and iOS apps, please pray that the development process will be smooth and that these apps will assist believers as they grow in faith.
4. Pray for those listening to Voice of Truth in Prilep, North Macedonia. Praise God for the way he uses this program and the faithful ministry of pastor Edijan to speak hope to the Roma people.
5. We created a series of biblical songs and videos for Roma children in Serbia. Pray for the leaders who have recently received training in ministering to children. Pray that these songs will reach the children and make a profound impact.
6. In partnership with Words of Hope, we are in the early stages of translating and producing Discipleship Essentials into Albanian to provide foundational Christian teachings for this nation. Pray for those involved in this process and for those who will use this material to grow in their faith.

Digital Ministry

Our digital ministry allows anyone, anywhere, at any time to gain access to a wide range of resources in their heart language.

7. Across the Persian-speaking world, people hear God’s Word preached on our web radio station. Pray that their faith would be deepened.
8. With digital technology, we have the opportunity to reach people at any time all around the world. Pray for those who discover these digital resources and that they would come to know God through them.
9. In partnership with the team in Europe, we have released an app for Macedonian speakers containing programming such as Voice of Truth and Life of Jesus, as well as from InTouch. Pray for those accessing this content on the app.
10. Many TWR radio stations around the world also stream their broadcasts online. Pray for those listening in this way from all around the globe.
11. Pray for those accessing content on TWR Canada’s Android and iOS apps, including the Speak Hope and Discipleship Essentials apps. Pray that these apps would be a beneficial resource to many around the world as they grow in their faith.
12. Steve Shantz is transitioning leadership of TWR’s global digital media ministry to Tyler Church. Pray for the transition and for Tyler as he works with teams around the world to build and enhance their digital outreach.
13. Using digital and social media to reach out with the hope of the gospel in India, we have partnered with Media Impact International to share the gospel and disciple believers. Pray for all those reaching out and for the team as they offer biblical resources and encouragement.

Persian Ministry

For more than 40 years, we have been reaching the Persian-speaking world with the hope of the gospel. Through web radio, social media, training conferences and more, we continue to see believers strengthened in their faith and new disciples being made.

14. Praise God for the recent conferences that have brought together seekers and believers in the Persian-speaking world for Christian love and fellowship!
15. Pray that those who listen to our web radio station would be encouraged by the messages they hear and choose to place their faith in Jesus.
16. Pray for those interacting on our Persian social media channels. Many young Persian speakers are tired of religion and have questions about Jesus and Christianity. Pray that they would find the answers they seek.
17. Pray for the ongoing development of youth and short programs and for those who will listen to these programs.
18. Pray for those across the Persian-speaking world who receive SD cards, Bibles and other resources. Pray that they would grow in faith.
19. Pray for our Persian ministry leader, Tony, as he encourages and mentors Persian believers.
20. Pray for the new Persian ministry team as they learn their roles and work together to grow the Persian ministry.

Training

Around the world, pastors and church leaders don’t have the same opportunities we have in Canada to grow in faith and leadership. By partnering with the Church in training, we build a stronger global Church, helping local churches grow in faith and reach their communities with the hope of Christ.

21. Pray that Leadership Essentials would help small group leaders across the Middle East, North Africa and the Philippines be better equipped to lead.
22. Persian ministry conferences allow believers to gather safely for fellowship and Bible teaching. Pray that those needing spiritual encouragement will attend these conferences and will be blessed.
23. Pray for the release of CultureCross later this year. This is a tool for the Canadian church to assist Christians in knowing how to share the gospel with people of other cultures. Pray that many would be encouraged and motivated to share the gospel cross-culturally in their own neighbourhoods.
24. Praise God that Christian communities across the world benefit from using Discipleship Essentials for both small group study and for training small group leaders. Pray that all who use this resource would grow in their knowledge and understanding
    of God’s Word.
25. Pray for the many Chinese pastors and church leaders who attend training seminars, workshops, and other events in Canada and online. Pray that what they learn would strengthen their ministries and build up healthy churches.
26. Praise God for providing online platforms Christians can use for training and fellowship, particularly in parts of the world where it may be unsafe to gather in person.
27. Every Man a Warrior is TWR’s ministry for men. Pray for Director of Every Man a Warrior Canada Robert Barbeau as he shares about this ministry across the country and invites men to grow in their faith.

Hard Places

Using media and technology, we reach into the hardest places of the world, opening new doors to the gospel that may otherwise be impossible. When we respond to those reaching out, we share resources, offer encouragement and connect them with local believers – because life is meant to be lived in community.

28. Many people in Quebec are thirsting for a spiritual awakening. Pray for those who call the Hope Line seeking biblical resources and for God to open more hearts in Quebec to receive the gospel.
29. Pray for wisdom and strength for our partner Media Impact International as they engage with people across India on social media who are seeking after Christ in difficult circumstances.
30. Across West Africa, people gather in groups to listen to biblical programming and discuss what they have learned. Pray that each group member would feel God’s presence in their challenging experiences.
