Pray for the 31
This podcast is based on "Pray for the Thirty-One Largest Frontier People Groups", a 31-day prayer guide available at go31.org or joshuaproject.net/frontier. The episodes are labeled with which edition of the prayer guide it is based on. This prayer guide gives you opportunity to pray for almost a billion people living within the thirty-one largest frontier people groups that have little chance of ever meeting a Jesus follower. Our desire is to join together thousands of believers igniting global prayer to bring God’s blessing through Gospel movements to these 31 largest groups of over ten million people. We hope in raising prayer and increasing awareness of these overlooked peoples, many hearts will be stirred to feel God’s love for them, crying out with a fervency for the right laborers to follow God’s Spirit into their towns, cities and regions to bring to them a blessing that can only come from the one true God. “Through you all the families on earth will be blessed." - Genesis 22:18

Specific Prayers:
- Lord, send Han Chinese believers to show the compassion of Christ towards the Uyghurs, and to love and protect their families during this time of crisis. Humble the Chinese authorities, as true authority only comes from You, the Lord of heaven. Please deliver the Uyghers and other peoples of China from unjust oppression.
- Lord, strengthen any Uyghur believers as they suffer. May your Holy Spirit fill the internment camps, bringing the believers Your peace and presence. Give them access to Your Word and the power to love and lead others to You.
- Lord, open the hearts of Uyghur families and religious leaders to Jesus, so He can bring God's forgiveness and blessings to their communities. Reveal to them that Jesus suffered even death so they can have eternal life, and help them spread this to others.
You heard my plea: "Do not close Your ears to my cry for relief." You came near when I called You, and You said, "Do not fear." O Lord, You took up my case; You redeemed my life. (Lam. 3:56-58)
