At LIFE International, prayer isn’t just checking a box or fulfilling a spiritual duty. It is the posture from which we listen, discern, and express our total dependence on God—seeking to remain aligned with His purposes. We believe that God is sovereign, and that He has called us to partner with Him in advancing the truth of the gospel and the message of life to places where life is devalued and the hope of Christ is needed most.

Prayer is our continual acknowledgment that apart from Him, we can do nothing (John 15:5). Every conversation, every training, and every mission begins and ends with seeking His presence and trusting His power.

Built and Sustained by Prayer

LIFE International began with prayer—and continues to be sustained through prayer.

Daily

Each day, LIFE staff lift up a different region of the world and the leaders we partner with there—praying for wisdom, protection, and faithfulness as the gospel takes root in diverse cultural contexts.

Weekly

On a weekly basis, our team gathers for dedicated time in Scripture, worship, and intercession—praying together for our partners, our mission, and for unity and discernment in the work God has entrusted to us.

Initiatives

Before any training or mission initiative begins, prayer goes ahead of us. We seek the Lord’s guidance alongside local leaders, asking Him to prepare hearts, open doors, and establish His purposes before any plans are carried out.

We call this the Advance Prayer Initiative—a powerful reminder that every work of God begins on our knees.

Join the Global Prayer Shield

Prayer connects us not only to God, but to one another as members of His global Church. The Global Prayer Shield is a community of believers who commit to standing in prayer for LIFE International’s teams and partners as the truth of the gospel is proclaimed and received in diverse and often challenging contexts.

Through shared prayer updates and specific requests, members of the Global Prayer Shield lift up leaders, trainings, and initiatives before the Lord—asking Him to prepare hearts, guide decisions, and establish His purposes. Together, we depend on God to do what only He can do.

Empowered By
The Holy Spirit

Prayer keeps us attentive to the presence and leading of the Holy Spirit. Through prayer, we seek God’s wisdom and discernment, trusting that lasting fruit comes not through human effort, but through humble dependence on the Spirit of God at work.

"We are dependent on God in all things, we approach His work in prayer—receiving the role He has graciously given us, and trusting that any part we play, and any fruit that comes, is by His grace alone."

Support the Mission

LIFE International’s work is sustained as God provides through prayerful dependence and faithful stewardship. Support for this mission reflects a response to what He is already doing—entrusting resources to serve leaders around the world according to His purposes.
