The Invitation, June 13, 2024
YWAM in Pakistan, numbering more than 100 workers, brings discipleship to a persecuted church, and practical assistance to those struggling with poverty and natural disasters. They work in a country that is 96 percent Muslim, with the second highest population of Muslims in the world, after Indonesia.
Please take a moment to pray for Pakistan right now, and also pray with us on June 13, the prayer day for YWAM’s prayer initiative called The Invitation.
- Pray for the church in Pakistan. Pray for provision: many members are very poor, holding jobs such as street sweepers or workers in brick factories. Pray for protection: many face discrimination, persecution, and the threat of legal action against them. Pray for multiplication: pray for the Lord to raise up believers to share the gospel and influence society.
- Pray for ministry among the unreached. Joshua Project says there are 236 million unreached people in Pakistan. Pray for Bible translation. Pray for fruitful partnerships among the unreached.
- Pray for YWAM’s Discipleship Training School. Churches have been planted in different parts of the country through Discipleship Training School (DTS) graduates and YWAM staff. Through DTS, YWAM Pakistan hopes to train and equip 30 Pakistani young men and women from across the country each year. They also hope to add DTS programs with a special focus, such as the Tribal DTS.
- Pray for YWAM’s training and mercy ministry. Currently YWAM Pakistan is involved in community development, sewing centers, elementary schools, women’s seminars, outreaches, sports ministry, and children’s ministry.They also currently run a School of Worship and hope to add the School of Biblical Studies, School of Frontier Mission, and other training programs. Prayer and financial support are needed.

How We Prayed
Sri Lanka (April, 2024)
YWAM in Madison, USA, formed small prayer groups to pray for Sri Lanka. They sensed that Christians would be reconcilers in that nation: “You will be known by your love for one another.”
