NDP Cape Cod
Prayer Guide

Changing the World has partnered with National Days of Prayer, Cape Cod to assemble this prayer guide. We hope it helps you to make a difference in your community.

Acts 1:8 – “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” (NIV)

“Changing the world, one heart at a time” starts with your heart.

Pray in humble surrender & submission under God, casting all cares on Him because He cares for you; receive the Holy Spirit to empower, guide, & continually change you daily.

6 So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor. 7 Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you. 8 Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.
1 Peter 5:6-8 (NLT)

T.H.U.M.B.:

Tribal: 161 million unreached - 60 laborers / 1 million
Believes in spirits that live all around us: in trees, in fields, in rocks, in rooftops. People must try to keep these spirits happy and enlist their help. Animists usually live with a certain amount of fear that a spirit will be unhappy with them.

Hindu: 860 million unreached - 2 laborers / 1 million
Believes in hundreds or thousands of gods (which are all seen as appearances of one divine essence). God, as the Christians understand Him, may be divine, but what the Christians call "God" is only one of millions of gods. Believes in reincarnation - that is, when you die, you come back to life as an insect or a cow or even a better (or worse) person.

Unreligious: 121 million unreached - 12 laborers / 1 million

Muslim: 1.3 billion unreached people- 6 laborers / 1 million
Believes in one God. God is to be worshiped, but He is too high and far away to think of as "father." In fact, to call him "father" would be blasphemy. Jesus was a great prophet, but He was not God. Christ was not crucified for our sins; he actually lived to be an old man.

Buddhist: 275 million unreached- 13 laborers / 1 million
Follows a path of discipline in order to reach enlightenment.
Often there is no conception of a god at all
