Shine! – 2BC 24HRS Prayers – Tues 11th August 2026
Shine! 24 Hours – Raising Up 2BC Champions
Tuesday 11th August 2026 | 0:00HRS EDT / 12:00HRS MYT
Praying for Children Everywhere to be On Mission for God!
“Rise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.” (Isaiah 60:1)
Shine! is more than a 24-hour prayer event. At its heart, Shine! is about children and young people becoming 2BC Champions — learning to hear the voice of their Heavenly Father, discovering who they are in Christ, and confidently sharing God’s love with their friends and families.
This focus is shaping everything we do through the 2BC movement.
1️⃣ Shine! Begins with Children Becoming 2BC Champions
The first purpose of Shine! is discipleship and identity. Through child-led worship, prayer, creativity and Scripture, children are encouraged to:
- Listen to God’s voice
- Grow secure in their identity as God’s beloved children
- Step out in simple, faith-filled ways to share Jesus’ love
Shine! creates a safe, joyful space where children lead, families participate, and faith becomes something lived — not just talked about.
2️⃣ Praying for Children in the World’s Most Populous Nations
Each Shine! event also carries a clear global prayer focus. We have just completed a 10-month program during which we prayed for the 10 most populous nations of children under the age of 15. It has been super inspiring with representatives of each nation guiding our prayers and sharing real-life stories.
On Tuesday 11th August 2026, we will be praying especially for each of the hourly host’s own nations! – or nations that they have a burden for.
Together, around the world, we will pray that children:
- Encounter Jesus personally
- Are surrounded by godly families and communities
- Grow up knowing hope, purpose and God’s love
This is children praying for children — heart to heart, nation to nation.
3️⃣ Praying for the Light of the World movie to Reach Families Everywhere
Finally, we continue to pray for the global impact of the beautifully hand-drawn animated film Light of the World, created to share the Gospel of Jesus with children and families worldwide.
The film is being translated into scores of languages and released across many nations, with a clear Gospel invitation and free discipleship resources. It is a powerful tool to help children grow as 2BC Champions — knowing Jesus and making Him known.
We are excited to hear that the movie will shortly be available in Indonesian / Bahasa – and are consulting with a number of partners about making it widely available for families across the nation to see it!
