International Prayer & Evangelism Conference - Click for Website

Join believers from many nations, along with national and international leaders and speakers - in cross-generational worship, prayer and round table consultations - hearing and sensing God's purposes in pursuit of the Great Commission! (Isaiah 4:5-6)

This five-day gathering consists of an opening session on 1st July evening and three full days of collaborative meetings. On 5th of July, at the stadium, a children's and families' morning event will be followed in the afternoon with all-age prayer, praise and worship to celebrate the National Day of Prayer for Indonesia.

The fire is here. The time is now - Will you be part of this move of God?

You are warmly invited to join us for Ignite the Fire 2025 in Papua, Indonesia.

Why Indonesia - and why Papua?

In 2012 Indonesia, at the request of the International Prayer Council, hosted the World Prayer Assembly. This global event brought 9,500 leaders from 86 nation to focus on the primacy, the practice and the power of prayer.

Indonesia was chosen to be the host because of their commitment to prayer and unity across their cultures, traditions and generations. The final night of our gathering saw more than 100,000 people, including 20,000 children and 20,000 youth gather in the National Stadium in Jakarta for a 4-hour prayer meeting.

Even more amazing was the fact that 378 other cities across Indonesia hosted stadium or large venue gatherings, most connected by digital feed to Jakarta with more than 2 million people joining in prayer. How did this happen?

Indonesia is believed to have the most united National Prayer Network in the world (JDN) connecting 300+ Citywide Prayer Networks, 120+ Citywide Children’s Prayer Networks, Youth, Women’s and Unreached People Prayer Networks and more. Scores of 24/7 Prayer Towers are restoring the Tabernacle of David model of Worship Based, Presence Based Prayer across the nation.

At the eastern-most part of Indonesia’s 7,000+ inhabited islands is Papua, considered by missiologists to be the ends of the earth. God has been powerfully at work in Papua as Houses of Prayer and Prayer Towers have grown and multiplied. As a result, more than half of Papua are followers of Christ in this, the nation with the highest Muslim population.

More recently, Papua became the catalyst for uniting leaders to establish a National Day of Prayer. Children’s Prayer Towers have been multiplying from the Papua House of Prayer for All Nations and have been providing prayer leadership to the 4 Global Days of Prayer.

The theme of Ignite the Fire 2025 is “From Papua to the Nations.” This unique gathering will focus on specific outcomes including:

1. Raising up 24/7 Prayer and Prayer as a Lifestyle
2. Every Christ Follower a Multiplying Disciple
3. Authentic Unity across Cultures, Nations and Generations in Fulfillment of John 17
4. Developing Missional Families and Children as Full Partners in God’s Mission
5. Fulfillment of the Great Commission in Our Generation
6. Stadium Prayer Gatherings on July 5 - Indonesia’s National Day of Prayer

We hope you can join us for this life-changing gathering.

IGNITE THE FIRE 2025 - Papua, 1-5 July

We would like to bring to you two resources to encourage you as you pray for people by name…

1. VIDEO: Praying for People by Name – A Powerful New Invitation from Dr. Jason Hubbard

What if the greatest miracles began with the simplest prayer—lifting one name before the throne of God?

In a short but stirring video message, Dr. Jason Hubbard, Director of International Prayer Connect, calls us to a deeply personal and powerful strategy in global intercession: Praying for People by Name.

Rooted in God’s love for every individual and anchored in His desire that none should perish, this video is an invitation to reclaim the intimacy and urgency of intercessory prayer. Dr. Hubbard reminds us that Jesus Himself prays for us by name (Hebrews 7:25), and He calls His Church to join Him in that holy partnership.

This is more than a method - it’s a movement of intentional prayer. Whether you are interceding for a friend, a family member, or an unreached people group, praying by name aligns your heart with God’s heart. It stirs faith, ignites hope, and releases Kingdom breakthrough.

In just a few minutes, you’ll be encouraged to:

• Ask the Holy Spirit to highlight specific names of those He’s calling you to pray for
• Write their names down and begin lifting them before the Lord regularly
• Believe that God is working, even when we don’t yet see the results

We’re seeing a global shift in prayer - away from vague generalities and toward intentional, Spirit-led intercession. Every name matters to Jesus.  And when we call on heaven with faith, even one whispered name can echo across eternity.

We invite you to watch the video, share it with your church or small group, and let it inspire a fresh season of prayer. 

Together, let’s pray name by name until Jesus receives the reward of His suffering - souls saved, cities changed, nations awakened.

By Name: How to Pray for People and Lead Them to Jesus

Billions of people don’t know Jesus, but God has given you and me the power to change that — and it all starts with prayer.

As you pray for people by name, Jesus gives you His love for them and begins to open their hearts to the Gospel.

In By Name, Brian Alarid will equip and inspire you to pray for people and lead them to Jesus using the five lifestyle habits that Jesus modeled: pray, listen, eat, serve, and share.

This book will help you love people like Jesus and impact your friends, family, neighbors, classmates, and co-workers for eternity.

Brian Alarid is the President and Founder of America Prays and World Prays and the Chairman of Pray For All. He is the author of two books: When People Pray: What Happens When Ordinary People Pray to an Extraordinary God and By Name: How to pray for people and lead them to Jesus.

Brian has a Master’s Degree in Organizational Leadership from Regent University. He has been married to Mercy Alarid for twenty-seven years. They reside in Guatemala City with their three children.

Praying for a World in Crisis: Awakening Faith & Hope

Why is the world in crisis? Do we have a role in ending it? What unseen powers are at work, and does the Bible have anything to say about this? Is there hope? What is the ‘day of the Lord’, and why does it matter? These are some of the questions addressed for engaging in international prayer for a world in crisis.

This book is a wake-up call for the times we are living in. We examine the inter-relationship between geopolitics, cosmic powers and the Great Commission with regard to why the world is in crisis and on the verge of a possible third world war, and how we as believers and as the church can engage effectively in prayer and mission in such challenging but rewarding days, and bring this age to an end.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THIS BOOK...

"This book provides hope in the midst of uncertainty and perplexity. It challenges us to levels of prayer that possibly many of us have either neglected or forgotten. It provides a lens of reality and challenges us to the brevity of time left before the most extraordinary moment of history occurs – the return of Christ. It is my hope that this book is placed in the hands of every leader and intercessor who wants to be part of the emerging strategy the Lord has prepared for his people in these end times."

Rev. Dr Alistair P. Petrie Pastor, author.
Executive director of Partnership Ministries, Canada

"‘Praying for a World in Crisis’ has come out of a lifetime of ministry that has taken Pete and Pip into the seriousness and deep challenges of spiritual warfare that the church faces, whilst at the same time bringing revelation as to how the body of Christ can and must respond to the immense opportunities those challenges present."

Ian Cole, World Prayer Centre, Birmingham, England, UK.

"This is a rich tapestry, woven together to reflect and depict God’s perspectives through a biblical, historical view that relates to the contemporary life and global challenges that mankind is facing. The authors challenge us to get praying for the kingdom of God to come more powerfully than ever before."

Brian Mills, senior advisor, International Prayer Council. UK

"This book is a clarion call to the church to step up to a new level, to cast aside passiveness and lethargy, to arise from sleepwalking on the edge of the abyss and to prayerfully connect to God’s end-time purpose for His church globally—Eternity is our destination!"

Pastor Ben F. Gray, founder and senior leader: CHI-Ministries
Founder and apostolic oversight: Australian Prayer Network. Brisbane, Australia.

"You will be stirred and challenged as Pete and Pippa share their battle-tested knowledge and experience based on their global research and biblical reflection. This is a must-read."

John Robb, Chairman, Transformation Prayer Foundation.
Co-Ordinator for the Unreached Peoples Task Force, USA

Forests in the Seed: How Kingdom Movements are Multiplying Across the Unreached World

by William J. Dubois (Author), Stan Parks (Author), Justin Long (Author)

Forests in the Seed opens a window into the 21st century of God's plan to multiply His Kingdom to everyone everywhere.

Rather than a theory-based "how-to" book, this is a testimony of what is happening now as men, women, and children raised to new life in Christ are denying themselves, taking up their cross, and following Him. The stories within this book are remarkable, supernatural in nature, and yet also lay out simple principles of multiplication found in Scripture.

Perhaps most incredible is a pattern weaved together of everyday people compelled by a vision of a resurrected Christ, who are being used in extraordinary ways to spread the Gospel in nearly impossible places. There is a spiritual revolution underway, and Forests in the Seed is your invitation to join and help change the world.

'Ramadan to Resurrection Sunday!' - Prayer Guide

By way of a gift, I am pleased to bring you a short encouragement and exhortation to go deeper in your prayers!

This guide brings some clear scriptural pointers to guide you as you pray both for friends, family and neighbours but also for many that you cannot see among the unreached people groups.

‘Ramadan to Resurrection Sunday’ provides practical prayer themes—including “Open Doors, Minds, Hearts, and Heavens”- and biblical strategies to cry out for revival, Gospel proclamation, and spiritual awakening. It’s a bold, faith-filled call to partner with God in His redemptive mission, trusting that “more prayer = more power.”

Let’s pray together for a harvest of souls across the Muslim world and beyond!

May I invite you to watch this short video that brings to life why we are praying for people by name – with some thoughts that I trust will encourage you in your prayers…
