Get involved in the Global Week of Prayer

Together with Tearfund staff, partners, and our friends at 24-7 Prayer, this September during the Global Week of Prayer you can join hundreds of thousands of Christians praying non-stop around the world to honour Jesus and pray in his name.

We want to equip you to pray for your global neighbours facing injustice and extreme poverty, so we’ve created a free resource where you’ll find information and prayer points to help guide your prayers in creative ways.

What you’ll be praying for

Each of the issues below pushes people deeper into poverty, rooted in global injustice. Whether it’s the devastation of conflict, the harsh realities of climate change, or the systemic discrimination faced by women and girls, these forces break communities apart. That’s why we’ll be praying in the name of Jesus about:

  • conflict
  • climate
  • gender inequality

Injustice is loud, but Jesus’ love is louder

After decades of decline, extreme poverty is on the rise. More than 800 million people are still living in extreme poverty worldwide.

Conflict, natural disasters and injustice are the main drivers of this, devastating communities around the world.

But that’s not the end of the story, because Jesus’ love leads us to pray for and with people in extreme poverty. Use the resources below to pray with your global neighbours.
