    Prayer Resources

    These collections contain historical prayer resources produced by the IMB’s prayer office.  Global PrayerGram was a newsletter released monthly from December 1987 to December 2007, when it was replaced by another monthly newsletter, PrayerPoints (2008-ongoing).  Both publications were designed to feature prayer requests from IMB workers around the world.  Loving the Lost (2003-ongoing) is a prayer guide published annually with an emphasis on unreached people groups.

     

    The IMB prayer office has its origins in the work of former missionary Catherine Walker, who served as the president's special assistant for intercessory prayer from 1981 until her retirement in 1985.  She believed Southern Baptists would pray more for missions if they knew exactly what to pray for and knew when their prayers were being answered: "I want our missionaries to be able to express their prayer requests in specific language so they can recognize when the requests are answered and let us know."  Catherine was succeeded by Minette Drumwright Pratt, who became the first Director of International Prayer Strategies and oversaw the expansion of the prayer office.  Over the years the prayer office has also been led by Randy Sprinkle, Ed Cox, and Eleanor Witcher. 

     

    Since the early 1980s the prayer office has also mobilized Southern Baptists to pray for the nations via a toll-free prayerline (1-800-395-PRAY), which provides recorded prayer requests to callers and is updated daily.  Additional prayer requests can be accessed through the mobile app IMB Pray.

    Global PrayerGram

    1987-2007

    Global PrayerGram was launched to coincide with the Week of Prayer for Foreign Missions in December 1987.  Its purpose was to facilitate prayer among Southern Baptist churches.  It was redesigned in 2008 and released under the new title PrayerPoints.

    PrayerPoints

    2008-Present

    PrayerPoints began in 2008 as a successor to Global PrayerGram.  It featured a new design with an enhanced regional emphasis and additional graphics.  These monthly newsletters continue to be produced.

    Loving the Lost

    2003-Present

    Loving the Lost is a focused prayer guide published as part of the IMB’s annual prayer emphasis on unreached peoples.  It began as a 30-day guide and transitioned to a 52-week guide in 2020.
