The annual Hindu World Prayer Focus is calling Christians and churches worldwide to take 15 days to learn about and pray for our world’s over one billion Hindu friends. That period also encompasses the significant Hindu Festival of Light (Diwali).
The informative prayer guide booklets will help Christians to know how to pray for the people(s) growing up within this major and very diverse world religion. Diwali (or Deepawali) is known as the Festival of Lights, and is one of the most important annual celebrations for Hindus, lasting about 4-5 days.
While (similar to Christmas celebrations in the Christian world) it has historical and religious roots, Hindus celebrate it by lighting and displaying rows of small oil lamps, participating in family gatherings, consuming special sweets and watching fireworks. It is not our intention with this prayer focus to disparage India or the Hindu religion in any way.
We recognize that both are far too complex and too full of great traditions to simply or easily condense, explain or take lightly within a mere booklet. At the same time, as Christians, we long that all the world’s people(s) will have an opportunity to freely see, hear and understand the grace of God incarnated in Jesus Christ. To this end we inform ourselves, pray for and want to support opportunities to make that grace known also within the world’s Indian and Hindu communities.

Fire on the Altar 2022 (Herrnhut)
April 18 – Oct 15 2022
www.jh-herrnhut.de/events/fire-on-the-altar-2022/
This guide builds on Jesus’ promise in Matthew 24:14 that the good news of His kingdom will be proclaimed to every ethne—every people group—before he returns at the end of this age.
Given the rapid increase of global population, the only way God’s kingdom is currently growing faster than population increase is through church-planting movements (CPMs)—a rapid multiplication of disciples making disciples, and churches reproducing churches, to four or more generations.
Part of God’s biblical strategy for starting (catalyzing) such movements is reaching households and groups (note the Greek word oikos used for example in Luke 10:5,7; Acts 16:15,31; Col 4:15) rather than just reaching individuals.
This weekly prayer guide includes a theme with related Bible passages and prayer requests aiming toward engagement of every people and place with a CPM catalyst team.
Over the 52 weeks, we will pray for disciple-makers (those who help others become obedient followers of Jesus), movement catalysts (those God has called to pursue initiating new movements) and movement leaders (those God is using to lead existing movements).
Movement catalysts may come from within a given culture (inside catalysts) or from a different culture (outside catalysts). May the Lord guide and use all of our prayers to advance his kingdom among those still unreached.
The material in this prayer guide was produced by the 24:14 Coalition (2414now.net) in cooperation with Finishing the Task.

An ancient pattern of worship is re-emerging on the earth.
In Acts 15, the apostle James quotes the book of Amos, declaring that the “tabernacle of David” will be restored, and the people of the earth will respond to God’s gracious invitation into fellowship with Him.
David’s tabernacle is being restored in our day by the enthronement of God upon the praises of His people through worship!
The Lord is birthing a global day-and-night worship and prayer movement that will lead to a historic harvest of souls entering His Kingdom.
Worship creates encounter with the living God and His presence, bringing heaven to earth: wholeness and transformation to individuals, to cities, and to nations.
You will discover your original purpose and eternal destiny as you step into David’s Tabernacle.
Matthew Lilley (pictured right) is an author, worship leader, intercessor and Bible teacher with a passion for God’s presence, extravagant worship & prayer and a desire to see cities transformed by Jesus. He has helped launch two houses of prayer in North Carolina and has also served in national leadership roles in worship & prayer movements such as Burn 24-7 and Awaken the Dawn.
'God described David as a 'man after his own heart.' David's Tabernacle helps you and me discover what was IN David's heart that moved the heart of God! This is one of the best books written on the subject! I highly recommend it!' Dr Jason Hubbard - Director, International Prayer Council

The room was full of God's presence...a feeling of God's nearness impossible to describe. The whole audience began to pray. ...It was not many, but one, born of one Spirit, lifted to one Father above. ...God came to us in Pyeng Yang that night. ...Man after man would arise, confess his sin, break down and weep. Some threw themselves full length on the floor; hundreds stood with arms outstretched towards heaven. Every man forgot each other. Each was face to face with God.
Everywhere the story was told the same Spirit flowed forth and spread. All through the city men were going from house to house, confessing to individuals they had injured, returning stolen property and money. The whole city was stirred.
"This account of the 1907, Pyeng Yang revival in Korea, is not an anomaly. Not even close. Such revivals of prayer and Spirit are our history and heritage and they continue to pulse us forward in the fulfilment of the Great Commission, even today.
These revivals have brought entire cities to their knees and as they have swept across the universities they have left up to half the student body converted in their wake. This book is about such prayer, and such revivals, and preparing ourselves for another mighty movement of God's Spirit: a movement I believe we can, and will see, if we will meet God's criteria for revival and awakening."

Bible translated into its 700th language
30 Sep 2021
A new milestone has been reached by Wycliffe Bible Translators as the Bible is translated into its 700th language. The acceleration that is happening in the work of Bible translation means it is impossible to state which translation was actually the 700th, as there were several launches of physical Bibles as well as several being made available online and via apps, all at about the same time. Every time the Bible is translated into another language, we know that people in that language group can fully access the complete picture of God’s story. Now 5.7 billion people who speak 700 languages have the Bible in the language that speaks to them best. That is a remarkable figure, which continues to grow.
Boxers give God the glory
30 Sep 2021
Filipino Manny Pacquiao announced his retirement from boxing on social media, expressing gratitude to God, saying his boxing career would not have been possible without the Lord. He is the only boxer to hold twelve world titles in four different decades. In his retirement post he says, ‘God is good all the time. I give all glory to God. I always believe that in God, all things are possible. Without Him, I am nothing. He is the one who gave me the ability to train and accomplish all those things. The Lord gave me overflowing blessings.’ Meanwhile when Ukrainian boxer Oleksander Usyk became world champion this week by beating Anthony Joshua, he told the media, ‘The only thing I wanted to do with this fight is to give praise to my Lord Jesus Christ and to say that all I have comes from him.’ See
Petrol supply issues
30 Sep 2021
Retailers and hauliers say the government's plan to offer temporary visas to foreign lorry drivers will not solve supply chain issues. The transport secretary said there is ‘plenty of fuel’ in the refineries and 47 storage centres, but ‘the Royal Haulage Association triggered panic buying by reporting a shortage of heavy goods vehicle drivers. To limit disruption before Christmas the Government will give temporary visas to 5,000 lorry drivers, encourage HGV licence holders back into the industry, and use MOD examiners to increase testing for new drivers. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-58698998 These measures will not fix the short-term problems caused by panic buying, so the business secretary said 150 soldiers will be delivering fuel. The managing director of fuel supplier Portland Fuel said the UK was over the worst of the situation and that sending in the army would ‘generate more panic’.
