God at work regardless…
Thank you to all our supporters and subscribers, both directly and through IPC Connections - for your prayers and financial support across what has been such a tumultuous year. We pray God’s continued blessings upon you and your families.
Kazakhstan has recently become our 70th enlisted country where The Prayer Covenant is being used among children and youth! This means that 7 million children in 70 nations have now been impacted with the Prayer Covenant and we are still counting!
The Last Quarter Evangelism initiative, a partnership between The Prayer Covenant, GO Decade and All Africa Baptist Youth Fellowship ran from October through to the end of December 2020.
We praise God for over 14,489 churches in 36 nations mobilizing 264,771 “missionaries”, 85% of which are children and youth to share the gospel with 5,808,380 persons resulting in 301,907 decisions to follow Jesus.

Israel is a 12-year-old boy who shared his powerful testimony:
‘2020 has been the best year of my life because I have discovered how beautiful it is to be a child of God. I found a great joy in sharing the gospel with my classmates and sharing the gospel is now become part of my life whether the church plans an outreach or not.’
‘I had the opportunity to pray for adults and many people much older than myself. They were surprised to see my commitment and the way I shared the gospel with others.’
‘LQE helped me to experience God in a new way in my life.’

Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for the joy of loving, following and serving You. Thank you for your hand of protection upon our ministry partners this past year. Thank you for the promise that as your Word goes forth it will not return void.
We ask your blessing upon all who receive this report.
Thank you for their partnership in the gospel.
Continue to bless and keep them in your loving care.
In Jesus name, Amen.
Our partner in Burkina Faso sent this video of their children’s choir singing The Prayer Covenant Song. We trust you will be blessed and encouraged as you watch it, as we have been.
We have much to celebrate in spite of Covid-19, and thank God for sustaining the work.
Ask me and I will make the nations your inheritance. Psalm 2:8

GLOBAL UPRISING Manila, Philippines, Nov 2021

The annual Buddhist World Prayer Focus is calling Christians and churches worldwide to take 15 days to learn about and pray for our world’s Buddhist friends between Jan 28th and Feb 11th, 2021.
The informative prayer guide booklets will help Christians to know how to pray for the people(s) growing up within this major and truly diverse world religion.
We recognize that Buddhism is an extraordinarily complex and often confusing worldview. At the same time, as Christians, we long that all the world’s people(s) will have an opportunity to freely see, hear and understand the grace of God incarnated in Jesus Christ.
To this end we inform ourselves, pray for and want to support opportunities to make that grace known also within the world’s Asian Communities.
The guide is available in these languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Arabic, Hindi, Russian, German, French, Thai, Korean and Vietnamese

This is an annual 40-Day call to prayer that provides a way to pray God's purposes for our cities with prayers of hope from scripture.
The prayers in the Seek God 64-page, full color prayer guide booklet will lift our prayers beyond our own concerns. As we seek God's face, we will ask Him to do things on a city-size scale--to bring spiritual awakening to our communities.
The booklet contains newly written topics and prayers to help unite and focus prayer through the 40 days leading to Palm Sunday. This booklet is a proven resource that unites and encourages churches in persistent prayer for breakthroughs in their communities. Quantity discounts make it possible to equip many in your church or ministry.
Some helpful features of Seek God For The City 2021
- Strengthens what you are already doing. No complicated program to organize or meetings to schedule.
- Unites prayer throughout your church. An attractive, easy-to-use tool that can help unite prayers between many churches throughout an entire community.
- Lifts prayer from private or trivial matters. Helps your people learn to pray for what matters most by directing attention toward what God is doing in the lives of people throughout your community.
- Builds the confidence of everyday believers to help them pray with clarity, authority and relevance as they learn to pray in keeping with scripture. Involves everyone in your church family, not just a “prayerful elite.”
- Opens a great way to pray toward Easter. For those of liturgical streams, it augments the Lenten season with a marvellous blend of repentance and intercessory hope. Those of other streams find that it lifts attention toward Christ’s visitation at Palm Sunday. The calendar concludes on Palm Sunday, leaving everyone prepared for Easter week without crowding the schedule with extra activity.

Cocaine discovered in bananas at Southampton
28 Jan 2021
Cocaine worth £76 million was discovered in a shipment of bananas by officers during a routine inspection at Southampton. The class A drugs, weighing almost a ton, were placed in the cargo in Colombia and bound for Belgium. Home secretary Priti Patel said, ‘This was drug-smuggling on an industrial scale’. She is delighted that Border Force prevented such dangerous goods from reaching our streets to devastate communities, line the pockets of criminals, and ruin young lives across the country. On the same day as the cocaine discovery a gangster hit squad was jailed for dousing a rival drug dealer in petrol, setting him on fire, and leaving him to burn to death in his own flat. See
USA: Christian / Jewish unity
28 Jan 2021
Evangelical Christians and Orthodox Jews in Washington have united to offer their sacred spaces for vaccine distribution to assist government and private companies to combat the pandemic. Walter Kim, of the National Association of Evangelicals, and Rabbi Moshe Hauer, of the Orthodox Union, stated, ‘Anyone in need of vaccination, whether or not they are members of our congregations or of our neighborhoods, is welcome.’ They offered to help with coordinating appointments and providing the medically trained volunteers to administer the shots, as well as spreading awareness to our communities about the importance of vaccination. Hauer said that everything about his faith compels him to contribute to the historic vaccination effort. His tradition teaches that not only is life the greatest gift from God, but it is an obligation to care for the well-being of others.
