Make a Difference
Our praying can make a difference! Not because of extraordinary prayer skills, but because of whose Name we pray in.
And yet, we want to keep getting better at it. ‘Grow and make a difference’ is a healthy prayer life ethos.
We’ve just released a new 6-part YouTube series called ‘Pray for the Buddhist World’. It adds insight to Buddhist life, but the real aim is to make a difference in the Buddhist world through prayer.
Each video is short, easy to follow, and focused on a key aspect of Buddhist ‘belief’. It’s not an in-depth study of Buddhism, but digs deep enough to show what shapes the lives of millions around the world.
Every episode lands on a gospel truth that speaks into that aspect of Buddhist life, followed by strategic prayer points you can use right away.
This series is for you if:
- You want to pray more effectively for Buddhist countries or communities
- You have friends who follow Buddhism and you aren’t sure how to pray for them
- You want to encourage your prayer group to pray for the Buddhist world
To make it easier to pray, you’ll be able to download a PDF with the prayer points from each episode. That way you can keep praying long after you’ve watched, or share the prayer points with your prayer group.

Thank you for being among those who want to make a difference in the Buddhist world.
Pray a Question
We rarely hear someone pray a question. However, in the Bible, questions appear frequently in prayer. Most of us are used to praying statements – worship, requests, declarations. But what if questions could deepen our praying? The Lament Question In Scripture, lament...
Waiting for Answers
I’ll give the link to a new video below, but want to share something that encouraged me recently, and is in line with the video, Waiting for God’s Answers to Prayer. David’s song, Psalm 27, has two threads to it and he switches from one to the other throughout the...
See the Unseen
In Christ, we’re a display of paradoxes. Weak, yet strong. Wise, but considered foolish. Freed to be servants. We gain by giving, find life by losing it, and serve this world by living for another. We’re a puzzle to the natural mind. However, not fitting the world’s...
The JOURNEY of Knowing Christ
Our salvation encounter with Jesus Christ launched us on an amazing journey. The journey’s large centrepiece is the call to constantly know Christ more, and to not lose sight of that, regardless of the landscape changes in our life-journey. The centrepiece influences...
Journey of the Heart
The Lord is here! He is showing us his glory! These two amazing truths belong in our future ‘Home-with-the-Lord’ picture, but he’s made them happen for us now! How can we know his glory more? God doesn’t hand us a list of dos and don’ts, but he shows us what’s...
Put it into Words
Moses had amazing face-to-face encounters with God in the tent of meeting. But it wasn’t enough. He longed to know God more, and he put it into words: Now show me your glory (Ex 33:18). He was probably unaware of the size of his request. GLORY refers to God’s infinite...
Towards Prayer for Revival – the NEED
You can now watch TOWARDS Prayer for Revival, the video version expanded from last month’s blog post. Awareness of the need for the church to be revived and the hearts of people to be awakened to the Lord isn’t the only trigger for revival prayer, but it is an...
Towards Prayer for Revival
We might not be ready to pray for revival, but there are steps that can help us move TOWARDS prayer for revival. Asking God for a revival can be unsettling. There’s an element of ‘holy fear’ in the thought of God unpacking levels of his power among us we haven’t...
Contemplation
Hunger for God will grow if it's fed. Prayers of contemplation will do that, but it’s definitely not spiritual fast food. In Psalm 63, David declares his longing for the Lord, and shows or hints at three types of prayer that nurtured his spiritual appetite. The first...
Stretch Our Appetite
Spiritual hunger is one of the Holy Spirit’s shaping tools for changing us. Desire for the Lord shows we believe what he says about himself. Healthy faith thirsts for God.1 It urges us to know him more and become more like him. Hunger for God is strong and will keep...
