Prayer Resources
Oftentimes we are much like Jesus' disciples when our hearts are stirred but then find ourselves asking the question:
"What should we pray?"
Please use these resources to inform and direct your personal or corporate prayer times for Yemen.

FLOOD THIS LAND: A SPECIAL WEEK OF PRAYER FOR YEMEN
March 26th marks the anniversary of the beginning of Yemen’s War, which plunged an already impoverished nation into the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. Only the power of God can pierce their darkness and flood this dry and weary land with the living water of Christ.
This prayer guide is intended for personal or corporate use during the week of the 6 year anniversary of Yemen’s war, but can and should be used at any time of focused prayer. This prayer guide has been translated into multiple languages and is open source, meaning you are free to print, distribute, or translate this prayer guide as the Spirit leads. If you do translate the prayer guide, please send it back to us so we can make it available to others as well.
BREAKING THE CHAINS: A RAMADAN PRAYER GUIDE
Every year approximately 30 million Yemenis fast and celebrate as a religious ritual in an effort to draw near to the God they worship. And yet God Himself is longing to draw near to them through His Son, Jesus Christ, if they would only hear His call and respond in repentance and faith.
This prayer guide is intended for personal or corporate use throughout the month of Ramadan, but can be used for any 30 day period of focused prayer. Each day includes Scripture to direct your spirit, current and relevant content, and a prayer. Please consider incorporating fasting to your daily prayer times and inviting others to join together in corporate prayer as the Holy Spirit leads. Together, we are piercing the darkness with the power of God through prayer. To God be the glory through Christ Jesus our Lord!
FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS: A PRAYER GUIDE FOR RELIEF AND DELIVERANCE
For years, the people of Yemen have been targeted for destruction by their enemies. Enemies of the Yemeni people have taken many forms throughout recent Yemeni history, with each one mercilessly seeking or at the very least participating in the destruction and death of Yemeni men, women and children. While the intended goal of these various enemies may not primarily be the annihilation of the global Yemeni population, the blatant disregard for the value of Yemeni lives is undeniable and the desperate need for relief and deliverance cries out from every news article, every picture and the heart of every Yemeni.
This prayer guide is intended for personal or corporate use, specifically on the International Day of Prayer for Yemen: 2019 (Saturday, November 9). Each section includes Scripture from the book of Esther, devotional thoughts on correlations between the Scripture and Yemen’s War, prayer points and a prayer. Consider assigning each section to a member of your family or small group, or allot at least 10 minutes of your corporate or personal prayer time to each section. Please also consider fasting at least one meal and instead commit that time to praying through this prayer guide.
