The Prayer Room

Prayer is the work. Five simple ways to stand in the gap for disciple-making movements across Africa.

01 · Guided Prayer

Prayer Wheel

Tap the center to be guided through the whole wheel, or tap any segment to jump straight there and continue on — handy if you're short on time and need to skip ahead.

Pray the Hour
02 · A Simple Framework

Pray the BLESS Way

A simple pattern for praying over the leaders, families, and villages our movements are reaching — and for the people God has placed around you.

B

Body

Pray for physical health, strength, safety, and provision for daily needs.

L

Labor

Pray for their work and ministry load — endurance, wisdom, and fruit in their labor.

E

Emotional

Pray for emotional strength, comfort in hardship, and freedom from fear or discouragement.

S

Social Relationships

Pray for their marriages, families, and relationships with those they are discipling.

S

Spiritual

Pray for deepening intimacy with Christ, discernment, and boldness to make disciples.

03 · On Foot or By Faith

Prayer Walking

Walk your own street, or "walk" the map with us — praying region by region over the movements God is growing.

Choose a route

Walk your neighborhood or a city block — install the BLESS app on your phone or tablet and pray for your neighbors by name. Or pull up the Prayer.Global app and prayer walk country by country.

Pray what you see

As you walk, speak Scripture over homes, leaders, and needs as they come to mind. Nothing fancy — just honest prayer.

Ask for open doors

Pray for the next conversation, the next person of peace that you can bless with the BLESS prayer, the next disciple, the next Discovery Bible Study (DBS) that starts meeting.

Follow up

Note what you sense. If you feel led, knock on a door and bless people with the BLESS prayer and/or share the 3 Circles, and get contact info for following up.

Praying from your phone or tablet? The Prayer.Global app guides you location by location around the world, and the BLESS app helps you pray for and love the neighbors right on your own street.

04 · Covering the Work

5 X 5 Prayer Groups

Extraordinary prayer accompanies all Disciple Making Movements (DMMs).

Start a Group

Start a prayer group that meets one hour weekly and prays through the Up, In, and Out format. Up — focus on glorifying God. In — pray for one another. Out — Luke 10:2 prayers for workers to go into the harvest.

Multiply the Group

The leader explains that you meet for one hour with the leader for prayer, and you also commit to recruit 5 others who will pray with you for an hour a week — and recruit 5 more to start another 5x5 group. It multiplies prayer with every generation, as shown below.

Track the Generations

We keep a generational map of every prayer group, tracking who started whom — because movements are launched by extraordinary prayer, and we want to see how far it spreads.

One person who commits to pray and recruit 5 others multiplies to over 3,000 people praying — in just five generations.

05 · Names, Leaders & Requests

Prayer Calendar

Claim a day this month. Add one name or several — leaders, regions, requests — saved right here on your device, or print it for your fridge or prayer wall.

Two days before

Text the person you're praying for. Let them know you'll be praying for them and ask if there are any specific requests.

On the day

Text them your prayer, or send an audio recording of your prayer.
