Ministry in 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.

1. Pray for listeners of Men Alive, broadcast on satellite radio from South Africa. This program is designed to encourage men in their faith.
2. TWR Canada missionaries Stephen and Teresa Murray are serving in South Africa. Pray for safety and God’s direction as Stephen supports the technical operations of the West, East and Southern Africa offices and radio stations. Pray for Teresa as she cares for and encourages staff and missionaries on her team. 

Persian Ministry

For more than 40 years, we have been reaching the Persian-speaking world with the hope of the gospel. Through web radio, social media, training conferences and more, we continue to see believers strengthened in their faith and new disciples being made.

3. Many Persian-speaking believers live fearfully and are isolated from other believers. Pray that these believers would be encouraged as they attend training conferences and listen to the web radio station.
4. Conferences, in addition to providing fellowship, also provide a time for baptisms. Pray for those who re baptized and those who witness the baptisms.
5. Praise God social media has been reaching younger generations who are seeking a new perspective on life!
6. Pray for the ongoing development of youth and short programs and for those who will listen to these programs.
7. Praise God for the enthusiasm of two young men who, through our Persian ministry, are being trained in evangelizing the message of salvation to the Persian-speaking world!

9. Pray for those across the Persian-speaking world who receive resources such as SD cards, Bibles and other resources. Pray that they would grow in faith.

10. Pray that Sri Lankan listeners of God's Unique Book would have the opportunity to listen every week. Pray that new listeners, many being of Buddhist background, are comforted and encouraged by the love of Christ.
11. Pray the good news of Christ reaches those searching for hope in Pakistan through programs such as The Prophet and The Way of Righteousness.
12. Pray for those across Japan who will hear the truth of Jesus through the SON-Lift project, which shares stories from the Gospels in audio programs.
