For families

Children & Families

Children pray, and often they pray with a directness the rest of us have to learn again. These are things to print, colour, watch and study together — at the kitchen table, in family worship, or in a children’s group.

Pray for the World Together

A year at a time, a month at a time, and a page at a time.

Ethnê World Changers’ Prayer Handbook

A prayer handbook written for young people to use themselves — why we pray, how to begin, and then region by region through the year, with maps, photographs, facts and prayers for the least-reached peoples of each part of the world. 164 pages.

World Shapers Monthly Prayer Calendar

A fresh calendar every month, with a prayer point for each day. Each month is written by World Shapers teams in a different country — Kenya, Nepal, Rwanda, Jamaica, Hong Kong, Taiwan — so a family praying it is praying words written by believers in those places. Free, and led by Mary Tome.

The Twelve Regions Colouring Book

Twelve printable pages, one for each of the regions the fellowship prays through, with the countries drawn large and plain to colour in and a prayer at the foot of each page.

Pray for the 31

An illustrated prayer guide to thirty-one of the largest frontier peoples — those with fewer than one believer in a thousand. Each people gets a page: a drawing, something about how they live, and what to pray. Free in nine languages, from Indigitous, with a companion podcast that reads a people group aloud each time.

Learn to Listen Together

Praying for the world is half of it. The other half is a child expecting God to answer, and being given a way to listen.

Pebbles & Stones — God Speaks

Sixteen free lessons on the ways God speaks, worked through Samuel, Josiah, Moses, Elijah, Gideon and Peter, with a journal to go alongside. Built to be done by a grandparent, a parent and a six-year-old at the same table. From Kathleen Trock-Molhoek’s intergenerational ministry, free in several languages, with an Advent set and others besides.

Pray With Everyone Else

2BC — Two Billion Children

Tom Victor and Ann Low’s work among the more than two billion children under fifteen. Their first training module is God Speaks: Can You Hear Him, and their global day of worship and prayer, Shine!, can be joined from your own kitchen table or prayed locally — the prayer guide comes in more than forty languages.

Watch Together

Why Pray? — a short film, and a good opening for a conversation with children about what prayer is and why we do it.

Read Together

Ethnê Testimonies, by Region

Written testimonies from around the world, arranged region by region. Read one alongside the region your family is colouring and praying for.

A Bible Study for Younger Children

Living Stones

A Bible study for children at home, ages five to ten — fifteen to thirty minutes a day, reading Scripture directly rather than retelling it. A paid curriculum, with the first week free to try.

A paid curriculum from Living Stones Study, listed here because it is good, not because it is ours.


Pray for the World, a Week at a Time

The weekly prayer cycle pairs one prayer strategy with one global region, so a year carries your family right around the world.
