pray

We believe that God hears our prayers. Together we want to stand up for the world in prayer.

Prayer for the world

  • What is God doing among the nations today?
  • What are the challenges and opportunities we face in the global mission?
  • How can we pray for the world in an informed way?

Start a missional movement this year with Praying for the World, a free weekly prayer guide that inspires and informs the whole church to pray for the whole world.

Prayer for the world of Hinduism

Diwali, the most important festival for over 1 billion Hindus and around 40,000 in Switzerland, strengthens community and is celebrated with gifts. Perhaps you too can make someone in your neighborhood happy. At the same time, Hindus need our prayers – as do Christian minorities, who often live their faith under pressure. Many AEM missions are active in Hindu regions. We pray that Hindus will recognize Jesus Christ, the light of the world, and find his peace. The annual prayer booklet encourages intercession. The prayer period begins on the Sunday before Diwali and ends 15 days later.

Find the prayer booklet on the Internet or order it as a booklet:

The annual guide “15 Days of Prayer for the Hindu World” can be ordered or downloaded every October from the homepage of the Swiss Evangelical Alliance (SEA): www.each.ch

30 days of prayer for the Islamic world

Muslims are people whom God created in his image. Jesus also died for them on the cross. That is why we want to pray for the Islamic world for 30 days every year, specifically during Ramadan, so that Muslims can encounter the Jesus of the Bible, the spiritual power of the Gospel and the real work of the Word of God.

Would you like to receive daily information and prayer requests during the fasting month of Ramadan?
