Here’s a worker in sub-Saharan Africa, wondering if anyone has invented a “Please-pray-for-our-people-group” template. He writes, ” Our group of workers in sub-Saharan Africa is working with a Muslim people group and we have a number of different agencies from around the world all doing their own thing to bring the gospel to the people we have been called to. We would like to create a year-long prayer guide in which individuals and churches throughout the world can sign up to pray for various needs of the people group we work with. My question is simple. Has anyone set up a template that can be used for virtually any people group? We would need to be security-conscious, of course, so can’t reveal a lot of details in regards to those in charge.” If you know of something along these lines, please click below in “Comments” and let us know. Thanks in advance.
I’m a personal fan of Pray4Tunisia. They have a really slick setup and they’re willing to share their know how. You might start at their website pray4tunisia.com.
There are prayers at http://fetchaprayer.com and http://www.prayerguard.net/?page_id=209 which can be used for any people group. There are, however, not a whole year’s worth.
Hi!
Check out this link:

We’ve been trying to compile lessons we’ve learned along the way to help others start similar networks. Feel free to email us with thoughts/questions/or resource requests!
Blessings,

PS We’ve tried to make it easy to adapt much of what we’ve done (for
example offering a download with hundreds of prayers that could be
adapted).
Someone said to us that we have to either control access (who
subscribes) or content (what is shared). We highly recommend
controlling content (making it “safe” for anyone , even the “bad guys”
to be able to see). Controlling subscribers is a manpower nightmare
and is deceptively not-secure because if even ONE person who has
access to the information loses a laptop, gets hacked, or doesn’t use
a VPN that terminates in the same country where all your information
is hosted, has his/her VPN disconnect suddenly, you’ve suddenly
endangered people.
Let us know how we can help–particularly if you’ve got a church
planting focus (we wouldn’t know much about other things).
