How to Pray
01
Pray for church leaders who have been arrested or persecuted, that they and their families would remain faithful and that their churches would continue to share the gospel boldly.
02
Pray for Christians facing persecution, that they would find community with other believers and would be a light to their family and friends.
03
Pray for perseverance for foreign workers in the country who face great scrutiny and opposition as well as increased difficulty in obtaining and keeping visas.
04
Pray for a deep love for God and his Word amongst Bangladeshi believers that will lead them to love and care for their unbelieving neighbors, even those from different communities and people groups.
05
Pray for the safety, health, and overall wellbeing of all the citizens of Bangladesh.
Unreached people groups live in areas where Christ is unknown and there is little to no local church presence.
Bring good news to those who have never heard.
