PRAYER REQUESTS FOR
December 12, 2025
Please pray for...
…Miriam in a Middle Eastern country. After her conversion to Christianity, Miriam’s relatives placed her under house arrest. Eventually, she fled to another area where no one knew her. She says, “I simply want to live a normal Christian life and tell others about Jesus.”
…the country of Kyrgyzstan. The Open Doors organization states that there has been a sharp increase in violence against the church. Many registered churches have been forced to close. Of Kyrgyzstan’s population of 7.2 million, 90% are Muslim.
…Sudan’s Christians. Sudan is now home to the world’s largest displacement crisis; 9 million people have been forced to flee their homes. In addition, Sudanese Christians who have come from a Muslim background increasingly face severe backlash.
PRAY FOR THE PHILIPPINES
In this majority-Christian island nation in Southeast Asia, some 7.6 million people in 17 ethnic groups follow Islam. Over the past eight years, one Pentecostal denomination has tripled its number of full-time workers among Muslims, to 66. They face opposition and threats of abduction and death; over the years, at least 12 workers have been martyred. Let’s pray for the Philippines.
-
Pray for these 60+ current workers, that they will see great spiritual breakthroughs within these people groups and that the Lord would help them to ground new believers firmly in their faith in Jesus.
-
Pray that God would use the death of those martyred to lead many to salvation.
-
Pray for divine protection for these workers and their families, and for favor in the communities.
The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
James 5:16

PRAY FOR MINISTRY IN NORTHERN IRAQ
Most Christians in Muslim-majority Iraq live in the Kurdistan Region and belong to the Chaldean Catholic Church or to the Assyrian Church of the East. Due to persecution over the years, their numbers have dwindled to 1–2% of Iraq’s population of 40 million. Some evangelical and Pentecostal churches have been established in Kurdistan. Pentecostal workers ask us to pray for these churches and pastors and their outreaches here.
-
Pray for the work of a local church in the region’s largest city. Members use small businesses and daycare centers as platforms to share the Good News. Others work in a safe house serving trafficked women and those facing persecution for their faith. Eighteen members are in the Bible school, training to be church planters.
-
Pray for a growing church in another town, led by a former radical Muslim and now filled with some 60 former Muslims! With government approval, this congregation holds regular community outreaches. Pray that God would bless their new Kurdish-language podcast ministry, and provide them with the means to obtain a larger worship facility.
-
99% of the Christians in Kurdistan are concentrated in two cities, leaving most of the region untouched by the gospel. Let’s pray that God would raise up and equip more workers to take His Word to every corner!
PRAY FOR MINISTRY IN TOGO
Pray for the director of a Christian humanitarian organization as he visits ten communities in Togo this week and next. Most of these communities are strongly Muslim and have little or no Christian presence. The purpose of these visits is to identify each community’s needs to determine how best to serve them both socially and spiritually.
Please pray
-
“for the meetings with pastors, workers, chiefs, and government officials in these areas,” and that the Holy Spirit would begin to prepare the hearts of people in the communities themselves;
-
“for safety, protection, and good connections throughout these travels”;
-
for God’s clear direction as to how to best help each community, and for the resources—human, physical, and financial—to meet their needs.
