Prayer Guides

The prayer resources linked below are either downloadable PDFs or available for purchase for a nominal price. To be included on this page, a prayer resource must generally be about mission and preferably about mission to unreached peoples. It must also be downloadable from the web - no sensitive prayer guides are listed below. (And I generally prefer to link free prayer guides.) If your prayer guide isn’t on the list, (mailto:justin@justinlong.org)email me a link for it.

Out of ~106 unreached clusters below, ~41 are not “prayed for” (they lack a prayer campaign, guide, or initiative). Many of the following resources are print guides available for purchase, but the prices are usually nominal (~$1). If no guides are indicated for a specific cluster, I don’t know of a prayer guide for that cluster yet. If there is one, please let me know. If there’s not, why not create one?
