Pray for the COP30 Outreaches in Brazil

The Invitation, November 13, 2025

In November, the world will travel to the Brazilian city of Belém, and YWAM will be there ready for the nations!

Topic suggested and written by the Creation Care Hub team at YWAM Paisley, Scotland. Photo of a prayer time with students at an elementary school run by YWAM Belém. Photo from YWAM Belém.

The occasion? The massive annual United Nations climate talks known as “COP30,” which will have around 50,000 participants from almost every nation. In Belém, YWAM is organizing outreach events to present the gospel in all its richness to the colorful cross section of humanity who will be visiting. Please pray with us for these outreaches and for the COP30 event.

Please take a moment to pray right now and please also pray with us on November 13, the prayer day for YWAM’s prayer initiative called The Invitation.

Listen to the Letter
  1. Pray for effective communication of the gospel with such a wide range of peoples on the streets of the city. Pray for wisdom and grace as the outreach team members interact with each person they encounter, be it delegates, locals, security personnel or other visitors.
  2. Pray for unity in relationships between YWAM Belém, the participating churches and the YWAM outreach teams during this two-week event. For their unity to be glorifying to God.
  3. Pray for the COP30 negotiations, complex though they are, to bring outcomes in line with God’s nature and character for the peoples of the world.
  4. Pray for life-changing encounters with God, both during evangelism and for the YWAMers themselves, who will be engaging with God in intercession for the city and the COP30. The teams are inspired not only by the opportunity to talk with unreached peoples but also the growing awareness that, because God is interested in reconciling all things in Christ (Col. 1:19,20, Eph. 1:10b), so the gospel has specific relevance to many of the issues discussed in a climate conference.
