By Name: How to Pray for People and Lead Them to Jesus
Billions of people don’t know Jesus, but God has given you and me the power to change that — and it all starts with prayer.
As you pray for people by name, Jesus gives you His love for them and begins to open their hearts to the Gospel.
In By Name, Brian Alarid will equip and inspire you to pray for people and lead them to Jesus using the five lifestyle habits that Jesus modeled: pray, listen, eat, serve, and share.
This book will help you love people like Jesus and impact your friends, family, neighbors, classmates, and co-workers for eternity.
Brian Alarid is the President and Founder of America Prays and World Prays and the Chairman of Pray For All. He is the author of two books: When People Pray: What Happens When Ordinary People Pray to an Extraordinary God and By Name: How to pray for people and lead them to Jesus.
Brian has a Master’s Degree in Organizational Leadership from Regent University. He has been married to Mercy Alarid for twenty-seven years. They reside in Guatemala City with their three children.

Praying for a World in Crisis: Awakening Faith & Hope
Why is the world in crisis? Do we have a role in ending it? What unseen powers are at work, and does the Bible have anything to say about this? Is there hope? What is the ‘day of the Lord’, and why does it matter? These are some of the questions addressed for engaging in international prayer for a world in crisis.
This book is a wake-up call for the times we are living in. We examine the inter-relationship between geopolitics, cosmic powers and the Great Commission with regard to why the world is in crisis and on the verge of a possible third world war, and how we as believers and as the church can engage effectively in prayer and mission in such challenging but rewarding days, and bring this age to an end.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THIS BOOK...
"This book provides hope in the midst of uncertainty and perplexity. It challenges us to levels of prayer that possibly many of us have either neglected or forgotten. It provides a lens of reality and challenges us to the brevity of time left before the most extraordinary moment of history occurs – the return of Christ. It is my hope that this book is placed in the hands of every leader and intercessor who wants to be part of the emerging strategy the Lord has prepared for his people in these end times."
Rev. Dr Alistair P. Petrie Pastor, author.
Executive director of Partnership Ministries, Canada
"‘Praying for a World in Crisis’ has come out of a lifetime of ministry that has taken Pete and Pip into the seriousness and deep challenges of spiritual warfare that the church faces, whilst at the same time bringing revelation as to how the body of Christ can and must respond to the immense opportunities those challenges present."
Ian Cole, World Prayer Centre, Birmingham, England, UK.
"This is a rich tapestry, woven together to reflect and depict God’s perspectives through a biblical, historical view that relates to the contemporary life and global challenges that mankind is facing. The authors challenge us to get praying for the kingdom of God to come more powerfully than ever before."
Brian Mills, senior advisor, International Prayer Council. UK
"This book is a clarion call to the church to step up to a new level, to cast aside passiveness and lethargy, to arise from sleepwalking on the edge of the abyss and to prayerfully connect to God’s end-time purpose for His church globally—Eternity is our destination!"
Pastor Ben F. Gray, founder and senior leader: CHI-Ministries
Founder and apostolic oversight: Australian Prayer Network. Brisbane, Australia.
"You will be stirred and challenged as Pete and Pippa share their battle-tested knowledge and experience based on their global research and biblical reflection. This is a must-read."
John Robb, Chairman, Transformation Prayer Foundation.
Co-Ordinator for the Unreached Peoples Task Force, USA

Forests in the Seed: How Kingdom Movements are Multiplying Across the Unreached World
by William J. Dubois (Author), Stan Parks (Author), Justin Long (Author)
Forests in the Seed opens a window into the 21st century of God's plan to multiply His Kingdom to everyone everywhere.
Rather than a theory-based "how-to" book, this is a testimony of what is happening now as men, women, and children raised to new life in Christ are denying themselves, taking up their cross, and following Him. The stories within this book are remarkable, supernatural in nature, and yet also lay out simple principles of multiplication found in Scripture.
Perhaps most incredible is a pattern weaved together of everyday people compelled by a vision of a resurrected Christ, who are being used in extraordinary ways to spread the Gospel in nearly impossible places. There is a spiritual revolution underway, and Forests in the Seed is your invitation to join and help change the world.

I trust that you will be blessed and encouraged as you read the articles, news and resources info this month!
A Heartfelt Thank You…
As we reflect on this past year, our hearts are overwhelmed with gratitude for you—our friends, partners, and supporters.
I will share much more about what has been achieved this year, in January, but for now, I want to focus on you!
Your faithfulness and commitment to stand with us in prayer and support have been hugely instrumental in advancing our mission. Through our collective prayers together, we’ve witnessed the power of God moving across nations, transforming lives, and uniting hearts for His purposes.
We could not do this alone. It is because of your dedication and partnership that IPC continues to grow, reaching more people and places with the hope and love of Christ. Together, we are building a global community of prayer, united in faith and purpose, to see lives transformed and nations impacted for His glory! Amen!
We are especially grateful for your willingness to join us in faith as we have stepped into new opportunities to engage the world in prayer! Whether in personal devotions, local gatherings, or global intercession, I know that your dedication has strengthened our shared mission.
Together, millions of us are standing in the gap, lifting nations before the throne of grace, and declaring God’s promises over us, our communities and beyond to those as yet unreached peoples.
Thank you for believing in this vision and for being such a vital part of IPC’s journey. Your prayers and support are a testimony to God’s faithfulness through His people. As we move forward, we do so with confidence, knowing that we are united in His name and empowered by His Spirit.

2BC – 2 Billion Children – is a campaign conceived by IPC’s Senior Advisor and Exec Member, Tom Victor, with a vision to see the 2 billion children across our world empowered to share the message of God’s love with their friends and families. Tom has teamed up with Ann Low and several others, who are raising awareness for this exciting project. Read more Here.
Editorial – The editorial article in this edition is entitled ‘Jesus, our Good Shepherd’. In John 10, during the Feast of Dedication, Jesus declares himself the “Good Shepherd,” emphasizing his role as the noble and sacrificial leader who lays down his life for his sheep, fulfilling the promise of Ezekiel 34.
Against the backdrop of Hanukkah’s historical significance and its remembrance of God’s provision and the rededication of the temple, Jesus promises security, intimacy, guidance, and nurture, showing us his deep care and ultimate sacrifice as the Lamb of God!

Wishing you a Blessed and Happy Christmas!
