An Informal Fellowship of 400+ Like-Minded People

We believe prayer is the indispensable key to the unfinished task among the Forgotten Fourth World — the quarter of humanity with little access to the gospel.

How This Started

The fellowship grew out of friendships among intercessors serving the Ethnê movement’s conferences. Practitioners kept noticing the same thing: the demand for prayer coordinators was growing, and there was nowhere for those coordinators to meet and learn from one another.

The first standalone gathering met in 2014 near Dallas, Texas — about forty people sharing what they had learned. Gatherings followed in 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2019, each one widening the network and thickening the resource library. The 2017 meeting produced the foundational prayer training material built on Discovery Bible Study principles. The 2019 meeting linked prayer strategist training to International Partnering Associates sessions.

What a Prayer Strategist Does

A prayer strategist links a passion for prayer with the practice of it, alongside field initiatives meant to catalyze movements. Think of the person in the crow’s nest of a great ship, watching the horizon and advising the helmsman.

Scripture gives us the pattern: the men of Issachar, who understood the times and knew what needed to be done; Nehemiah, who interceded and then mobilized; Barnabas, an encourager, connector and prophetic intercessor.

In obeying the Great Commission while following the Great Commandment, we pursue the Great Commitment — a lifestyle of unceasing prayer.

Where We Are Going

Today the fellowship offers training, coaching and company to intercessors who serve networks and organizations working among unreached peoples. If you sense God drawing you to join hands with others and apply the indispensable key of prayer to finish the task, you will find strength here.
