5 Ways You Can Pray for People Groups in Tough Places
Much of the remaining work of Bible translation is happening in countries where the gospel isn't welcome. Would you like to partner with people in these difficult areas of the world, but don’t know how?
As prayer partners, we can connect with people groups and their work through prayer. It's a significant part of Bible translation! But how can we pray when we often don't know specific details? How can we pray when we don't know the real language name, or maybe even the country that the people live in?
The important thing is that God knows exactly who we’re praying for, where they live and what’s happening in their community.
Join us as we pray for people groups in sensitive areas of the world, then learn how you can partner with one to share the hope of God's Word.
