WELCOME
Living & Praying Intentionally in 2025
You hold in your hands a unique prayer and scheduling tool designed to help you live an intentional, integrated life connected to God’s kingdom. Each year the articles featured in this planner are prayerfully selected. This year you will be challenged to pray without boundaries. Monthly articles will feature the accelerated work being accomplished in Scripture translation into first languages, the needs of India, some specifics on the Muslim world, first responders in crisis situations, and more. You will find that this multifaceted resource is far more than an effective organizer. It is a window through which thousands of believers like you see God’s work in the world and join him in that work through vital intercession for the nations.
Karl Barth, the great 20th-century Swiss pastor and theologian, is well known for saying Christians must read both the newspaper and the Bible—and they must interpret the newspaper through the Bible. In essence, the Personal Prayer Diary and Daily Planner enables this. It contains pressing news and information about the world as well as thoughtful voices offering biblical perspectives. Its articles, Scripture resources, and prayers bring together knowledge of current events and knowledge of the Bible.
Prayer is key for our Christian lives. Prayer is relational; it involves speaking and listening; it engages our hearts and minds. When we open our minds to God in humble worship and through honest dialogue, we invite the Spirit to lead us “into all the truth” ( John 16:13). In prayer, God can help us see with spiritual eyes the events occurring in our world today. Not satisfied with the lens of the media or our own limiting biases, we seek the perspective of God, who through Jesus Christ is reconciling to himself all things— on earth and in heaven (see Col. 1:20).
One way we can cultivate an awareness of God’s perspective is to join with other believers in the daily, weekly, and yearly rhythms of the Christian life. For centuries, Christians around the world have recalled the important events in the life of Christ and the early church—Jesus’s birth, death, resurrection, and more. In many Christian communities, it is through the Christian year, not the calendar year, that they keep time—the “time” of the church and the Christian life. John D. Witvliet writes, “The Christian year . . . provides a way of understanding the Christian life. These events are not just about Jesus; they are about us” (see his article on page 12). By living into the seasons of the Christian year, we continually orient ourselves in God’s Story. It is a way to focus our whole lives on the person of Jesus Christ and the continuing work of God in the world.
This resource therefore provides a weekly scripture for meditation selected from the Revised Common Lectionary (a cycle of readings shared by many churches) as well as a list of important Christian days, including the name of each Sunday, to help you grow and stay in tune with Christian brothers and sisters around the world. It is our sincere hope that as you practice these rhythms and engage in prayer for the nations, you will indeed be led “into all the truth.”
Using Your Personal Prayer Diary and Daily Planner
The Personal Prayer Diary and Daily Planner is designed to assist you in integrating three vital areas of your daily life: (1) intercessory prayer; (2) Bible reading and meditation; and (3) planning your daily, weekly, monthly, and annual schedules. It provides many opportunities for you to live and pray intentionally throughout the year.

Growing up in a remote part of Papua New Guinea, Eleanor saw very few people, especially girls, get the chance to pursue education or follow their dreams. She never imagined she could be part of something like Bible translation. In fact, she wasn’t even sure if God wanted to speak to her in her own community’s language. Maybe He only spoke bigger, more “important” languages such as English. But when she learned how to translate and share Bible stories in the language she spoke every day, it was easier to imagine Jesus speaking directly to her. Eleanor discovered her worth and saw how God could use her voice to touch people’s hearts.
Understanding the Challenges
cultural barriers. The geographic obstacles to reaching these communities are astonishing. Some villages can only be reached by walking or paddling a canoe for days. Also, many people can’t read well or at all, so unless the Bible is in audio or spoken form, they have trouble understanding it.
Even though around 95 percent of Papua New Guineans say they’re Christian, many haven’t had the chance to really learn from the Bible because it hasn’t been made available in their own language. While Christianity might be a cultural identity that governs community life, many people also rely on magic and live in fear of evil spirits on a daily basis.
Collection of relevant Christian teaching. Beginning on page 6 are two short teachings to further inform your intercession and help you discover principles readily applicable to your daily walk with God. These challenging, insightful teachings lay a strong foundation for prayer, mission, and personal reflection and growth.
More than 1,000 languages across the globe still don’t have a single verse of Scripture. As we look at where these remaining needs are located, one country stands above the rest: Papua New Guinea (PNG). Its 600 islands are home to about 10.5 million people who speak 800 different languages—more than any other country. But more than 220 of these languages still don’t have any Scripture.
Challenges to Bible translation in PNG are multifaceted, ranging from logistical hurdles to

Two specific regions of PNG need special prayer focus: Madang-Morobe provinces and Sepik-Sandaun provinces. Madang and Morobe used to be the areas of greatest need, but today many Madang and Morobe languages have begun Bible translation. We believe fervent prayer has helped bring these numbers down and get new projects started. Believers have been praying specifically for Madang and Morobe provinces on UnceasingPrayer.Bible, and many have adopted specific language groups to intercede for. Like young seedlings, these fledgling projects need
Monthly articles exploring places of brokenness and redemption around the world (A). Each month you’ll read about a people, nation, or issue in desperate need of the church’s intercession and intervention. Each Sunday you’ll find a reminder to pray for the people or situation discussed in that month’s profile. Notes to the articles and a list of contributors can be found on pages 205 and 206.
Daily thematic prayer guide (B). Each day a group or need related to that month’s prayer focus is targeted for prayer. Join thousands of other diary users worldwide in praying for the same people or situation.
Bible meditation and memorization guide (C). Weekly verses are found at the beginning of each week. By meditating on and memorizing each selection, you will commit more than 50 portions of Scripture to memory in 2025.
Weekly guide to praying for the nations (D). A nation related to the monthly prayer focus is highlighted each week. Important information and a flag are included to assist you in praying for that nation. On pages 197–198 are explanations of the symbols and categories used in the listings. Each nation can be located geographically using the maps section beginning on page 178.
Two-track Bible-reading program (E). Option
1: Read through the Bible in a year by following the reading guide each day. Option 2: Use the check-off system on pages 174–77 to read the Scriptures at your own pace. By reading an average of 3.5 chapters each day, you will read the entire Bible in one year.
Calendars for planning your day, week, and year (F). A three-year, long-range planner can be found starting on page 14. Each month opens with a month-at-a-glance planner to keep track of important events. The daily calendar is designed in a handy, week-at-a-glance format and can be used as a daily planning tool or as a daily journal and prayer diary. (Note that some non-Christian religious holidays are included on the calendars as an aid to prayer.)
Personal notes and contacts. A personal notes/ prayer journal page is included at the beginning of each month. Additional notes/journal pages begin on page 202. Also, a section for recording phone numbers and addresses begins on page 200.
Reference helps (G). The world maps, countries of the world section, and time-zone chart are found on pages 178–87, 188–98, and 199, respectively.
The more you use your Personal Prayer Diary and Daily Planner, the more it will assist you in connecting the whole of your life to God’s kingdom. As you learn about areas of need and areas of hope in God’s world this year, both through this tool and in your daily life, be encouraged and emboldened in the knowledge that you are one of thousands of Christians using this diary worldwide who are united in vital intercession.
“On to Eternity” My Final Chapter The Word of God
by Loren Cunningham
At eighty-eight years old, I am following my calling toward eternity. Listening to Him and walking in obedience, there is no end to what is possible.
From our limited perspective we see challenges, such as completing the Great Commission or addressing world hunger. We try to add it all up. How many Bibles? How many meals? What do we lack to finish the task?
However, Revelation 7 describes the paradise to come. People dressed in white around the throne of God. The redeemed nations, tribes, and languages are all praising Jesus.
Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst.
It’s a multitude “no one can count,” every generation from mother Eve and father Adam until you.
People ask, “Is this the time for Jesus’ return?”
Yet there’s so much more to do!
Seeing the risen Jesus, the apostles asked, “Is this the time He was restoring the kingdom to Israel?” (Acts 1:6).
“That’s not your business,” He explained. “That’s for the Father to decide. Your job is to be my witnesses to the ends of the earth.”
Wrap your heart around your Father’s desire to have an immense family. And we’re a part of it! We have an elder brother, Jesus, as Romans 8:15 tells us. We call God our Father, Abba, Daddy, Papa. As part of the family of God, we’re called to rule and reign with Christ forever. So we need to look at things we do here on earth with no finish line.
Excerpted from Is That Really You, God? —Legcy Edition by Loren Cunningham with Janice Rogers (Seattle: YWAM Publishing, 2023).
On to Eternity—My Final Chapter
In 2010, Youth With A Mission celebrated fifty years of ministry. Darlene and I traveled to meet YWAM staff in forty-four locations by taking 107 flights. We had teams in Kona, Hawaii praying around the clock all year. At the end of that year of intense travel, not even one plane was late for more than two minutes. There were no storms to survive nor terrible turbulence. It was all so smooth and wonderful.
In that remarkable time, 32,000 joined us to sign YWAM’s Jubilee Covenant.1 Some were there beyond YWAM staff, possibly 25 or 35 percent. Many more staff couldn’t come and sent representatives to one of the forty-four locations. What was enormous for us was still so small in His vast family.
The Father doesn’t talk about us as numbers. He speaks of “all the world” and “all the nations” (Matthew 24:14; 28:19). He speaks of every tribe and tongue being included. The “All’s” and “Every’s” of our world haven’t heard. More than 8,000 languages haven’t even received a portion of the Bible. They have never been given the gospel of Jesus, the only way to the Father’s great family.
Consider the islands of the Pacific. In Pacifica, you can see 1,072 populated islands of Micronesia, Melanesia, and Polynesia. In just one country, Papua New Guinea, they have 291 populated islands and 853 languages.
How do you get God’s Word into every language? How do you reach every tribe…every village?
The only way to reach all is to multiply. The ones you reach and teach are your multiplication. They will touch more hearts than you ever could alone. All nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues: that is what our goal should be.
In Pacifica, you have more than 10,000 islands with millions of people living on them. So many are isolated, with no airstrips or ports.
I sailed to the archipelago of Ogasawara Islands, which is over 600 miles south of Japan’s main islands. There were no flights to get there, only the long sea voyage. They have more
than 2,000 people on two islands, but just one Lutheran church, started generations ago by German missionaries.
Tristan da Cunha is easily one of the most isolated places on earth. To get there you have to go to the southern tip of Africa and then west for one week on a mail boat—the one and only boat per year. And I was on it. With an invitation from a local pastor, I was allowed to set foot ashore and speak at his church. They only had two, one Anglican and one Catholic, for 455 people. No airstrips. No TV nor regular connection to the rest of the world.
In 2008, Darlene and I went to Antarctica, visiting twelve locations and four stations. That’s remote.
Alv Magnus flew with me to the Arctic isles of Svalbard, three hours by jet north of Tromsø, the northernmost major airport in Norway. We landed on ice in a place with only 2,000 people.
These are the ends of the earth we cannot forget. Each one matters to the Father’s heart. They await new waves of Youth With A Mission.
From the Moon to the Multitudes
Young men see visions. Old men dream dreams. Now my heart is stirred by a recurring dream, a multitude in heaven.
The biggest vision I can imagine is to get the Bible and the message of Jesus into every language on earth.
As a small boy, I wanted to reach everybody in the world with God’s Word.
I thought, “Well, I know what I’ll do. I’ll get to the moon.” Nobody had gone yet.
“I’ll put big rocks to spell out ‘for God so loved the world that He gave us His only Son,’ from John 3:16. Then I realized, ‘No, I can’t work with that many rocks.’ So I ended up with ‘God is love.’” That was my childlike dream.
We say in the Lord’s Prayer, “Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”
On to Eternity—My Final Chapter
So, what is being done in heaven that’s not on earth?
Is it solving world hunger? No, the “daily bread” we pray for on earth is abundant in heaven. Hunger, temptation, and sin will all pass away.
If you look in Revelation chapter five, they are worshiping the Lamb, Jesus. In chapter seven, the redeemed are robed in white, worshiping in a multitude no one can count.
In every language in heaven, the multitude’s mother tongues are raised to honor the King. The tongues of heaven will never cease their worship.
On earth, every language is not used to worship Jesus.
Ninety percent of the world’s languages are not worshiping Jesus. They need Jesus, and they need the Bible.
Since “faith comes by hearing,” could we have an oral Bible in the mother tongue of every nation on earth?
You’d have to go into cultures you’ve never dreamed of. You’d be living in places far different than you’ve ever known. It’s the kind of challenge I received in my youth—seeing waves of youth filling the globe.
As a young person, you can pray about where to go. Choose a language.
The way we did it first, back in 1969 and ’70 when we had our first schools in Europe, we laid a map on the floor. Young YWAMers prayed over the map. Where would they go? They prayed and got a nation. So this is the way, in five years’ time we were in every nation except one in Western Europe.
There were teams across Africa and in India, Nepal, even Afghanistan, all because somebody prayed and God said, “Go.” Because God speaks.
Now at eighty-eight years old, though I have been sick, I’ve been getting visions of how to get God’s Word to every people, tribe, and tongue.
The Bible says in the beginning, “God spoke.” It didn’t say He wrote. He spoke orally more than 1,800 times in the Old Testament alone.
Man wrote it down, but God spoke. And God still speaks.
God says, “Faith comes by hearing, hearing by the word of the Lord” (Romans 10:17). So the Lord speaks orally.
Jesus says, “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me” (John 10:27). So you can learn to know the voice of God.
Oral Bibles fit on memory cards the size of my fingernail that work in the simplest mobile phones. YWAM volunteers have found mobile phones even in a remote Himalayan village after trekking eight hours on rugged trails. The villagers already had a mobile with a solar charger. Since they have no internet, someone travels to get music and bring it for the village to hear on the phone.
Why not give a Bible to hear in their mother tongue? It’s their oral mother tongue, or “OMT.”
This final dream of mine can be yours. Visit PrayOMT.com and prayerfully choose a language. This is the first step to adopt a mother tongue and be a part of getting God’s Word into every language on earth.
When we prepare for the end, we shouldn’t just “pass the torch” from one to another. We can light the torches of many as we carry on until the end. Many can take hold of this, the greatest vision I could ever imagine. We can bring the oral Bibles to every mother tongue on earth.
When you hear news that I have gone on to heaven, I hope you remember this call and respond.

But when she learned how to translate and share Bible stories in the language she spoke every day, it was easier to imagine Jesus speaking directly to her. Eleanor discovered her worth and saw how God could use her voice to touch people’s hearts.
Understanding the Challenges
More than 1,000 languages across the globe still don’t have a single verse of Scripture. As we look at where these remaining needs are located, one country stands above the rest: Papua New Guinea (PNG). Its 600 islands are home to about 10.5 million people who speak 800 different languages—more than any other country. But more than 220 of these languages still don’t have any Scripture.
Challenges to Bible translation in PNG are multifaceted, ranging from logistical hurdles to
cultural barriers. The geographic obstacles to reaching these communities are astonishing. Some villages can only be reached by walking or paddling a canoe for days. Also, many people can’t read well or at all, so unless the Bible is in audio or spoken form, they have trouble understanding it.

Two specific regions of PNG need special prayer focus: Madang-Morobe provinces and Sepik-Sandaun provinces. Madang and Morobe used to be the areas of greatest need, but today many Madang and Morobe languages have begun Bible translation. We believe fervent prayer has helped bring these numbers down and get new projects started.

Like young seedlings, these fledgling projects need

careful prayer in order to remain healthy and continue growing. May God bring to completion the good work He has begun!
Today, the Sepik-Sandaun provinces are the area of greatest need and account for almost half the remaining communities in PNG still waiting to begin Bible translation. They are also some of the poorest provinces in the nation, with the lowest literacy rates. Many parts of these provinces are cut off from basic services and can be accessed only by boat or plane. Life expectancy is lower in Sandaun province than anywhere else in PNG, and life expectancy in Sepik is also well below the national average. There are around 90 language groups in these two provinces that need access to Scripture, yet no work is happening.
Celebrating Progress
Despite these challenges, God is moving mightily in PNG as international organizations partner with local churches to finish translating God’s Word into all the waiting languages. Wycliffe, SIL, Pioneer Bible Translators, YWAM, Papua New Guinea Bible Translation Association, BATTLE (led by a Spirit-filled, gifted female leader from the Highlands named Yarra), Seed Company, and others are diligently working with national churches to bridge the gap in Scripture access. We give thanks for the flight services of organizations such as Mission Aviation Fellowship, without whom it would be impossible to reach many communities. We also give thanks for the recent government decision to allow large-scale satellite-based internet services into the country, which can enable internet-based training in isolated areas and save a lot of time in Bible translation work.
In addition, numerous New Testaments and portions of the Old Testament have been completed in recent years. Faith Comes By Hearing and other translation groups are working hard to provide audio Scriptures together with written Scriptures, ensuring that those with lower literacy levels are not left out of understanding the good news of Jesus. By God’s grace, the number of languages waiting to begin Bible translation has been falling rapidly. Between June 2021 and March 2024, the number dropped from 315 to 237.
Uniting in Prayer
As we join our hearts in prayer for PNG, let us remember the words of the psalmist: “May your ways be known throughout the earth, your saving power among people everywhere. May the nations praise you, O God. Yes, may all the nations praise you” (Psalm 67:2–3). Together, let us intercede with faith and expectancy, believing that God will continue to move mountains and bring His Word to every tribe and tongue in PNG.
Pray
• for wisdom and unity among church leaders, Bible translation teams, and community members. May they navigate cultural and interpersonal differences with humility and grace, remaining steadfast in their commitment to the task at hand. And for the wisdom of James 3:17 and the humility of Philippians 2:1–18 for these partners in the gospel
• for safe travel, reliable transportation, and access to resources for Bible translation teams as they seek to reach the most remote, isolated communities
• for improved literacy rates, health care, and educational opportunities across PNG, that communities may have access to the tools and resources needed to engage with Scripture effectively
• for more qualified translation consultants who play a crucial role in ensuring accurate and culturally relevant translations of God’s Word
• for the spiritual impact of Scripture translation in PNG. Pray that as communities receive God’s Word in their heart languages, lives would be transformed, families strengthened, and communities revitalized by the power of the gospe
