More than 20 million men, women and children continue to depend on humanitarian assistance across Ethiopia. Millions have seen their source of livelihood disrupted when they were uprooted from their homes fleeing hostilities or drought.

Parents have seen their children suffer from malnutrition for lack of adequate food and water and associated diseases due to weakened immunity. Others could no longer send their children to school due to insecurity, migration or destroyed income source.

Many have fallen ill from disease outbreaks such as cholera, which are the by-products of shortage of clean water. Women and children also continue to face increased protection risks in conflict areas as well as in drought-affected areas when they make treacherous long journeys in search of water.

Halfway through the year, the number of people targeted for lifesaving multi-sectoral assistance across Ethiopia had already increased by 11 per cent and needs in 2023 are expected to remain high. According to the Global Humanitarian Overview for 2023 that was officially launched on 1 December 2022, more than 26 million people in Ethiopia are estimated to require assistance in the coming year and US$3.5 billion is required to meet all the needs.

More than 3.6 million children in Ethiopia have never been to school or have dropped out due to a combination of conflict, climate change and displacement, according to UNICEF.  The number of out-of-school children in Ethiopia has spiked from 3.1 million to 3.6 million in the last six months driven in part by recent conflict in Afar, Amhara and Tigray regions and ongoing violence in parts of Oromia causing further civilian displacement.

Pray:    For children who have no access to or experience of education.  That they may be closely held and protected them from evil. (Psalm 82:3-4)

                For adequate water and food supplies, and relief where these are not readily available. (Job 5:20)

                For an end to violence and civilian displacement in the regions of Afar, Amhara, Tigray and Oromia

During 2023, millions of believers around the world will be committing to ‘Pray Together’ for gospel movements in the Buddhist, Muslim, Jewish and Hindu nations. 

We are committing to pray on 4 Global Days of Prayer

• Chinese New Year Jan 22^nd 8am (EST) to 8am (EST) – Praying Together for the Buddhist world and China
• Night of Power - April 17^th 8am (EST) to 8am (EST) – Praying Together for the Muslim World during their traditional Night of Power
• Pentecost Sunday May 28^th 8am (EST) to 8am (EST) – Praying Together for the Salvation of Jewish unbelievers around the world, the Outpouring of the Spirit, and the Return of Christ
• India Day - Global Day of Prayer for India and the Hindu World – October 31^st – 8am (EST) to 8am (EST) - Praying Together for India and the Hindu world

We will focus our prayers on strategic unreached cities in each of these nations. 90 percent of the remaining unreached peoples of the world live in or near 110 strategic mega cities in these Buddhist, Muslim, Jewish and Hindu nations.  

Each of these 4 days are important times when the unreached peoples of these cities are often more open and receptive to the Gospel.  Many are reaching out to families and neighbors with the good news of Jesus during these special days!

We want to invite you to join us during these 4 Global Days of Prayer in 2023. You can pray with your family, from your home, at work, in your house church, local church, house of prayer, prayer tower, etc. Commit to pray on each of these four days as the Lord leads you. We will provide you with profiles, maps and prayer points to help guide your prayers. You can also join us online if you would like to pray with gifted men and women of prayer from around the world at the Global Family 24-7 Prayer Room!

Little Keys open Big Doors – Let’s take this little key called prayer, put it in God’s hands and see him open up a big door called Revival and Awakening!  Your prayer matters – God releases his power in response to the prayers of his people! Let’s join our voices before the throne with millions of believers in Christ-exalting, Bible-based, Worship-Fed, Spirit led prayer and believe God to do immeasurably more than all we could ever ask or even imagine, all for His Glory, for our Joy and for the salvation of multitudes of people amongst the Buddhist, Muslim, Jewish and Hindu worlds!

For the Supremacy of Christ in all things

Will you join us in Praying for the Buddhist World during the 21-day lead up to Chinese New Year?

We are calling Christians and churches worldwide to take 21 days, January 2- 22, to learn about and pray for our world’s Buddhist friends. With an illustrated and helpful guide, we invite you to pray specifically that Jesus Christ will become known to the one billion people across the globe who are at least nominally Buddhist.

We are encouraging believers to ask the Father to give his Son these Buddhist nations as his inheritance (Psalm 2:8). Let’s ask the Lord of the Harvest to send forth laborers (Matt 9:38) to key Buddhist cities as messengers of Hope, drenched with the Spirit of God, in the power of God for the mission of God!

Browse the Buddhist Prayer Guide

Each day, beginning January 2 – 22, 2023, you will learn something about Buddhist practice and influence in a different place including some specific prayer points for key Buddhist cities in countries with large Buddhist populations like China, Thailand, Japan, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Cambodia, Korea, and Laos. The last few pages of this guide include key Scriptures to use as we participate in ‘Bible-based’ Prayer!    

We want to encourage you to consider adding ‘fasting’ to your times of prayer. We know that the Buddhist peoples of these lands are in need of spiritual breakthrough. The discipline of fasting - abstaining from food for spiritual purposes - is a powerful weapon in spiritual warfare as we cry out for deliverance for our Buddhist friends.

A special focus for this year is the country of China. This guide culminates on January 22 - Chinese New Year. We profile eight of China’s largest cities, and a specific people group within each city to pray for.

Pray…

Let’s pray for the salvation of the peoples of China.

Pray for the Lord to send Chinese believers as missionaries to the remaining unreached peoples.

Pray for unity amongst the churches and leaders of China.

And pray for Chinese families and children to be awakened to Christ for all that He is!

The name Buddha means ‘awakened one.’ Buddhist’s claim to be enlightened with divine revelation. Let’s pray on behalf of our Buddhist friends worldwide to experience a ‘Christ – awakening.’ May they awaken to Jesus Christ for all that He is by the Spirit of the Living God.  As the Apostle Paul shared,

“For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ” – 2 Cor. 4:6

The Buddhist World Prayer Guide is available in 20 languages online and 10 as a PDF download and is being distributed through more than 1000 prayer networks worldwide.

We hope you can join us and add your prayers with millions of Jesus followers around the world for a Global Christ-awakening amongst our Buddhist friends. 

May we win for the Lamb who was slain the due reward for his sufferings!

People are More Open to the Gospel During the Holidays!

The photo above is from a church service in India where hundreds of churches worked together to share their faith during the holidays.

The Christmas season is here! And so are opportunities to share your faith. Holiday gatherings, presents, and parties open doors to sharing your faith.

A friend from Chile reported last year: "This Christmas we saw many children coming to Christ, let's not think they don't understand, they are more open today to receive Christ in their lives! "

What an amazing testimony of reaching children with the true message of Christmas - Christ with us. You can be a part of reaching the nations with the message of salvation during the holidays!

I want to reach people for Christ during Christmas!

The holiday season is here! Watch GO MOVEMENT's socials for how you can reach our friends and family with the message of salvation!

People are open to the Gospel during this time. We want to provide resources to help you share your faith.

God bless you,

The Moravians changed the world
By God’s grace, we will too.

The prayers of humble believers change the course of history. A band of ragtag worshippers discovered this truth in 18th-century rural Germany, launching a 100-year prayer meeting that birthed the modern missionary movement. Often overlooked, the story of the Moravians comes to life in this incisive, devotional account. Moravian Miracle will fix your gaze on the glorious, conquering Lamb who is now gathering his church for one final prayer-saturated harvest of souls.

Moravian Miracle is written by Dr Jason Hubbard - Director of International Prayer Connect.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:

“Fascinating and deeply motivating.”
-  Rick Warren, The Purpose Driven Life

“A true gift to the global body of Christ.”
- Mike Bickle, International House of Prayer
