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.

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.

Christopher Gunderson was born with complete gastroparesis, unable to eat normally and reliant on feeding tubes for 16 years. Told by doctors he might not survive, he experienced daily pain and severe limitations. But at a ministry event in 2011, after prayer and a powerful encounter with God, Christopher felt what he describes as a 'lightning bolt' through his body - a shock that he believes restarted his stomach. That night, he ate a full meal for the first time ever - without pain. Over the following weeks, he was able to eat normally and eventually had his feeding tubes removed. His doctors were stunned. Today, Christopher shares his testimony widely, proclaiming the healing power of Jesus and the reality of miracles.
Seventeen-year-old Canaan Hill, an aspiring preacher from Dallas, Texas, wowed the American Idol judges with a powerful rendition of 'I Need Your Glory' by Earnest Pugh, earning him a rare platinum ticket. Hill, who graduated early to pursue God’s calling, left judges in awe, with Lionel Richie declaring his performance 'spectacular' and praising his spiritual gift. Carrie Underwood described his voice as 'velvet' and 'powerful’, while Luke Bryan joked about the revival-style impact his singing must have in church. Hill humbly replied, 'To God be the glory’. He joins a growing list of bold Christian contestants on the show, including previous runner-up Megan Danielle and worship leader Warren Peay, all using their talents to glorify Jesus on a national stage.
At the Government’s border security summit in London, Keir Starmer reported that 24,000 individuals without legal right to remain in the UK have been returned since Labour took power - the highest return rate in eight years. The summit gathered representatives from over 40 countries to address illegal migration and people smuggling, including tech platforms accused of enabling trafficking via social media. Home secretary Yvette Cooper highlighted the cruel tactics of smuggler gangs, including hugely overcrowded boats, exploiting vulnerable people, and using drones to evade detection. Ministers acknowledged disappointment in the rising small boat crossings and pledged £33 million in new funding to target organised criminal networks globally. Starmer emphasised the need for international collaboration, calling people smuggling a 'global security threat’.
