Transforming The 10/40 Window Nations Through The Power of Prayer
The kingdom of God has not fully penetrated this area. It is an entrenched satanic stronghold. Billions of people in the 10/40 Window are currently held captive by rulers with demonic influences. Spiritual forces of evil are ushering these individuals toward a future of eternal separation from the presence of the Lord (2 Thes. 1:9).
Prayer is the essential fuel for evangelism, discipleship and church planting. Without it, our efforts to reach the unreached billions in the 10/40 Window will fail.
Pray for a mighty move of God’s Spirit and a great harvest of souls in the 10/40 Window. Pray for Christians in the 10/40 Window to stand firm and continue to pray in the Spirit on all occasions. Pray for God to protect them and empower them to be bold witnesses for Jesus Christ.
Pray for God to bring comfort and hope to those who have been victims of terrorism, corruption, lawlessness, and human trafficking. Pray for groups and leaders responsible for acts of destruction to be quickly brought to justice and for their eyes to be opened to the truth of Jesus Christ.
Pray for Christians around the world to awaken to the need to devote themselves to pray for the lost, unreached people groups, leaders, governments and our Brothers and Sisters in the 10/40 Window.
Below are prayer points focused on the topics of persecution, corruption, lawlessness, terrorism, world religions and human trafficking to expand our prayers and help us unite in effective praying for this desperately needy area of the world, that millions might hear the Gospel and put their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
