So we’ve made it to Advent. You may be using these weeks to imagine yourself back in the days of Mary and Joseph, Anna and Simeon, and the angels and shepherds longing for God to show himself in the world once again.
Why not take some time after Christmas to intercede for those who have yet to hear the good news of what Christ has done for them?
Several organizations and networks came together to produce a prayer guide for the 31 largest “frontier” people groups, those among which the gospel has seen the least progress. The third edition came out earlier this year.
Visit Go31.org for the electronic version (no cost), request a review copy, or order bulk copies of the 57-page booklet at 10 copies for US$20 or 100 for US$100. You might also want to download the Bless Frontier Peoples Prayer App. It shows you the frontier people group of the day. Today (November 30) it features Day 30 (Moroccan Arabs).
Check out the Frontier People Groups poster and a roundup of related resources from Joshua Project.
Here’s another prayer guide to consider. Let All the Peoples Praise You: 30 Days of Praying for Urgent Needs Among the Nations uses data from Stratus.earth (which ranks how needy nations are on several scales) alongside reflections from Scripture adapted from David Platt’s podcast Pray the Word. High-quality paper copies are US$2.99 from Radical but the digital edition can be downloaded for free.
