January Prayer Points

Please join us in praying for Langham around the world.

Preaching

  • Pray for our Continental Directors who oversee the staff teams in Latin America, Europe, the Caribbean, Africa, Asia and the South Pacific. Pray for wisdom and strength as they lead disparate teams around the world from diverse backgrounds and cultures. 
  • Pray for the work of Langham Preaching Connect. Each continental team has members involved who are working together with other continents to provide resources to help people to teach and train. Pray for those in the teams that are committed to training facilitators who in turn can train others.

Please pray for these Preaching training events:

Where the country is sensitive, the region is given.

Scholars

  • Scholars studying with the International Baptist Theological Study Centre in the Netherlands will be attending their annual research colloquium at the end of January 2026. Pray for them as they present research papers and meet with their Supervisors.
  • Pray for scholars returning to academic loads after the Christmas holiday. Some will have travelled home and now be returning to campus, and others may have missed celebrating the holiday with family due to the location of their studies. Pray that they will enter the new semester with renewed energy and excitement about their academic work. 
  • Reviewing of scholarship applications and initial shortlisting of candidates begins.  Please pray for wisdom and discernment for those involved at this stage.

Literature

  • For the evangelical publishers around the world, it is a month of reviewing and planning. Please pray that they may be encouraged to persevere in what can be a difficult and wearying job. Pray for the energy and creativity to make biblical truths public through writing and publishing. 

Administration

  • We are currently needing some support on the operational side of things. Please pray that we will be able to find the right staff and facilitate a smooth onboarding process.
  • International Director, Riad Kassis, and his wife, Izdihar, had a devastating fire in their home in early January. On top of the personal loss, it has also impacted many key international meetings for Langham. Please pray for them as they grieve through this loss and rebuild.
