Please join us in praying for…
Radio Broadcasting
Radio broadcasting allows listeners from hard-to-reach places to urban centres, and everywhere in between, to access the gospel. From FM stations in countries like Burundi to high-powered radio from Bonaire, Eswatini and more, radio broadcasting shares the hope of the gospel around the world.
- Pray that Voice of Truth would answer the spiritual questions of the Roma people living in the city of Prilep.
- Pray that our signal strength and coverage will reach listeners effectively and meaningfully through radio broadcasts.

- Many of the China ministry’s training sessions are done using online platforms. Please pray for protection while using these platforms.
Ministry to Children
Our ministry to children includes Bible Stories Alive, a series of stories chronicling the lives of people in the Bible, such as Adam and Eve, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, in a way that brings the stories to life and makes the listener feel like they are there.
- Praise God for the infrastructure to share Bible Stories Alive, including on four FM stations in Kenya, on TWR360, and on the Speak Hope and Bible Stories Alive Android and iOS apps.
- Please pray that God would instill in children all over the world a curiosity to know God and develop a strong foundation rooted in his truth and goodness.

- Pray for the distribution of the Mandarin stories on tablets and online through TWR Canada’s Chinese ministry. Pray that the children and families who read and listen to these stories grow in their faith together.
Africa
From radio broadcasts to capital projects to on-the-ground ministry and the work of missionaries, our reach across Africa is vast, just like the region.

- Pray that our teams in Ukraine, Russia and Belarus can continue speaking hope through media during this time of war and hardship.
