Egypt: Pray for World Partners staff and for regional stability in spite of civil war in Sudan and the impending threat of an all-out civil war in Ethiopia (which also affects Egypt due to the Nile).

Bulgaria: Pray for World Partners staff in Bulgarian and wisdom for the government as they work on the 2026 budget and for stability regarding the protests and upcoming transition to the Euro.

Guatemala: Pray with Alex Clem for an upcoming Vacation Bible School on December 20th. Pray that God will prepare the hearts of the children attending and that all the organizational details will come together for the leaders. Pray also for a seven-week training on the Christian faith taking place in Xecotoj.

Thailand: Pray for our staff in Thailand as they take advanced language classes. Pray they are able to achieve an advanced level of speaking, reading, and writing, to increase new ministry opportunities.

Belgium: Praise God with the Kalabrics for the unexpected ways the Lord brought people to faith this year. Please pray for a new disciple who has come to faith through ministry. His powerful witness is already impacting his family and a wide network of relationships across Europe.

Liberia: Pray that the Liberian schools will be able to further strengthen their spiritual, educational, and financial standings to best serve students, parents, and communities in the coming year.

Continue to pray for all World Partners staff around the world. Ask the Lord to work through them in all the messy, complicated situations they encounter. Pray God will continue to bring blessings in the midst of ministry. Pray that marriages and families would grow stronger as they follow God’s leading in their work.

"We love what God is doing through World Partners, especially among unreached people groups. Each week, our church family prays for a different UPG, asking God to send workers to reach them with His gospel. It’s exciting to hear reports from missionaries about how God is creating disciple-making movements in these same areas. Knowing that we play even a small part in God’s overarching plan for the nations is both humbling and empowering."
