IPC Connection August 001Global Day of Prayer for Jewish Peoples! – 21st Sept 2026

We open with an invitation to join millions of Christians around the world in 24-hours of United Worship and Prayer - for the salvation of Jewish peoples and lasting peace in the Middle East.

During the 24 hours, on Monday 21st September 2026, we will be joining our voices together with churches, houses of prayer and prayer ministries across the world contending for Jewish people everywhere to know Jesus as their Messiah! We encourage you to pray where you are, at home, school, work or at Church. Or join us online at the 10 Days Online Prayer Room. Passcode 32223

We have produced a helpful Prayer Guide that is available in multiple languages online HERE

IPC Connection August 00110 Days 'PURSUE' – Prayers for the Jewish People – 11th – 21st September, 2026

Join us for 10 days of focused prayer ahead of our Global Day of Prayer for Israel and the Jewish People on Yom Kippur, Monday 21st September!

Running from 11th–21st September, the free 'PURSUE' Prayer Guide invites believers worldwide to reorient their hearts around one pursuit — God's best, for His glory. Each day combines a biblical theme, devotional reflection, and prayer for a specific Focus City — from Yangon to Mexico City — alongside a daily prayer focus for Israel and the Jewish people.

These aren't distant, disconnected prayers, but threads in one story: God gathering the nations and remembering His first family, in the very same ten days.

The journey culminates on Yom Kippur itself, as we unite with the Global Family in 24 hours of prayer for Israel's salvation and God's covenant promises.

Will you pursue Him with us? More details below!

IPC Connection August 003Following Jesus! – Step by Step with Jesus (Children's Guide) There's a companion resource for families and younger believers too!

'Following Jesus! walks children through the same ten days, the same cities, and the same heart for Israel as the adult PURSUE guide.

Packed with Bible stories, memory verses, family challenges, worship songs, and daily video introductions from young presenter Cami Plaster -  plus reflections from young Indonesian writer Justin Gunawan - this guide helps children discover God's love for the nations and for His first covenant people.

A wonderful way to bring the whole family into these ten days of prayer! More details below!

Editorial 1 – Praise Reports from the IPC Regions!

Get ready to be encouraged! See the first Editorial article below for a fresh wave of testimonies from across the IPC family, spanning three continents.

From Cape Town, Pastor Austen Ukachi shares a powerful account of the Africa Prayer Summit, where leaders from 23 nations gathered as one family, encountered the unmistakable presence of God, and left carrying fresh fire for revival across the continent.  Click Here to watch the worship song video at the top of Table Mountain!  That was an awesome, God-filled time!

In Oceania, Donny and Robyn McGregor report on an extraordinary season of Kingdom assignments, missions and prayer, including the historic gathering in Vanuatu and Pentecost 26 Australia Arise — with 1,900 people responding to the Gospel.

And from Latin America, Yanira Gonzalez brings news from CLAMOR's involvement in Lima, Peru, where thousands gathered for EveryONE LATAM and strategic prayer initiatives shaped a nation-changing week.

Thank you, Austen, Donny, Robyn and Yanira — your faithful reports remind us what God is doing, one prayer-meeting at a time!

IPC Connection August 02Editorial 2 – ‘Praying Through Crisis: A Church That Doesn’t Pass By’.

We would encourage you to read this month’s second Editorial article entitled Praying Through Crisis: A Church That Doesn’t Pass By’.

Written by a good friend of IPC's, Daniel Geraci, CEO of United in Crisis, this piece offers both a challenge and a practical vision for churches that are ready to answer it.

Drawing from the parable of the Good Samaritan, this editorial challenges the Church to move beyond passing by suffering.

In crisis, God's goodness is on trial - will believers show up with compassion and Gospel truth, or leave rescue to others?

Readers will discover four biblical convictions for crisis ministry, drawn from Luke 10 and Matthew 25, and a call to prayer for a united, ready Church.

Daniel is heading up IPC’s Focus Area – aptly titled: Praying for Crisis.  We will share more about Daniel and  this important aspect of our mission and vision in a forthcoming edition of IPC Connections!
