YWAM has always been committed to prayer and seeking God. We do this as individuals, as ministry locations, as countries and at many other levels. Many of YWAM’s leaders believe that now is the time for YWAM everywhere to come together in prayer in an even more unified manner.

The YWAM Global Prayer Podcast is an audio version of the YWAM Global Prayer Letter that is sent out every month. Join us, and the thousands of YWAMers and YWAM Location around the world, as we join together on the second Thursday of every month in prayer …

Pray For A Recommitment to YWAM’s Foundational Practice

Thank you for joining us this month as we take up “The Invitation” and join together with thousands of YWAMers from around the world as we pray and hear from God. This month we will be praying for Recommitment to YWAM’s Foundational Practice.

Topic suggested and written by Josh Cole in New Zealand. Photo of a prayer meeting at YWAM Furnace in Tauranga, New Zealand.

Prayer has always been the foundation of who we are as YWAM. Prayer is one of our core values. Our early pioneering initiatives started with prayer over a world map, and God began to speak and catch us up into His heart for the nations. At the big YWAM family gathering in Manila last September, one of the main messages was a call to recommit ourselves to prayer. “Prayer is the essence of who YWAM is,” said YWAM’s co-founder Darlene Cunningham. Let’s make a commitment to deepen our prayer in 2025, to contend for YWAM’s global family to experience God in an unprecedented way, and to hear His voice and partner with Him for breakthrough in the nations. Please pray with us not only right now but throughout 2025 and beyond.

* Respond to the prayer challenge from Joy Dawson, a Bible teacher who had a profound influence on YWAM. Before Joy passed into glory in 2022, she gave this message to YWAM about prayer: “Don’t in any way minimize the crucial importance of interceding for the nations! There is a dearth of intercession for the nations. This is a prophetic word coming through me that there needs to be a resurgence of what was strong but has now become weak. Particularly in the lives of spiritual leaders. There is no substitute whatsoever for fervent, faith-filled, focused prayer for the nations as I have taught it over the years. Some leaders think they are on the cutting edge but don’t make intercession for the nations at all. What they think is cutting edge is not cutting it with God.” Joy went on to say there was a need for two responses: firstly to repent for where there has been a lack of prayer, and secondly if we have not had a vision for the power of prayer, to ask the Lord for revelation. Please respond as you feel led.
* Pray for a recommitment to prayer in YWAM at this time. Since the death of YWAM’s founder Loren Cunningham in 2023, many in YWAM are aware of the critical time we are in as a mission. We’ve had some terrible tragedies in YWAM where we have lost some dear family, friends and leaders. Our hearts are tender. With the increased challenges and pressure, there is real warfare. The time to expand the covering of prayer over our mission is now. Pray for every YWAM participant to grow in their prayer life, and pray for every YWAM prayer ministry.
* Pray for the prayer initiative called The Invitation, which celebrates its tenth anniversary this year. This monthly call to prayer started as a response to what YWAM leaders sensed at a meeting in Singapore in 2014. They sensed that God was inviting everyone in YWAM into his presence in a fresh way (The Singapore Covenant). The Invitation started in 2015 and is translated into six languages. The prayer topics come from suggestions from anyone in the YWAM family. Pray for God to lead the topics and for people inside and outside of YWAM to respond to the invitation to pray.
