Between The Rivers Onsite Prayer

Between the Rivers is a strategic prayer partnership between field workers and short-term onsite prayer teams to prepare communities for ongoing engagement by covering them in prayer and prayerfully seeking out people of peace.

We invite you to join a team of 4-8 people to respond to the invitation of long-term workers

to prepare an unreached community for engagement by covering it in strategic prayer,

earnestly seeking “People of Peace”

and handing it back to long-term workers for strategic follow-up

You're headed to the region between the Indus River in Pakistan and the Ganges/Padma River in India/Bangladesh

Nestled between the mighty Indus and the sacred Ganges-Padma rivers, this vibrant region is a crossroads of ancient civilizations, colorful cultures, and breathtaking landscapes. From golden deserts and lush river plains to bustling cities and timeless villages, it offers travelers a captivating blend of history, spirituality, and natural beauty.

This region is the least exposed to the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is home to many of the largest and least reached ethnic groups on Earth.

What is more, it is also the theatre for the most exciting gospel breakthroughs that will take place between today and the return of Jesus Christ on the last day.

You can expect to have an experience of a lifetime that includes these things:

1. A remarkable opportunity to play a part in preparing for the Gospel take root in an unreached community by laying the vital foundation of prayer in partnership with long-term workers eager to engage some of the most unreached regions on earth.

2. Practical equipping in Strategic Prayer, Prayer Walking and initiating intentional relationships by seasoned field workers both before and as you arrive onsite.

3. Tangible assistance to help your own group select the length of your trip, target community, projected budget and travel logistics. OR the chance to join a team with a trained Between The Rivers team leader.

The 3 Central Jobs of Every Between The Rivers Onsite Prayer Team are…

1) Cover the city in Strategic Prayer as the Holy Spirit leads you, asking God to open the community to God’s Word, God’s people and God’s work.

2. Prayerfully pursue potential “People of Peace” who open their communities to relationship and engagement.

3. Hand off your city to the Long-Term Workers for discernment, follow up and future engagement

What People Are Saying

Life altering! Seeing the mission so clearly and really living it out each day was amazing. The day when we prayed to break the lie that our city was impossible was amazing. Seeing seven people move the hand of God in direct response to our prayers each day was so encouraging. We came away knowing that we can make a difference. It was even amazing that the two kids responded to our faith and confidence and assurance. -DC says
At the end of the week, we were led to pray at a public garden to do some declarations and speak out invitations and blessings over our city. On arrival, we suddenly realized that the whole garden was full of huge green trees, similar to the ones we had seen in a vision. On further investigation, I found that these were fig trees. We were told that the fruit, leaves and sap have a variety of healing properties, thoroughly used over the ages by various cultures and civilizations. We celebrated that in the last chapter of Revelations, we read, “Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.” (Rev. 22:1-2) Healing and restoration for all nations is surely part of His plan for this city. We had the privilege to be part of that through our prayers. Thank you, Lord! -ML says
Before we left on our trip, I asked the Lord for people who would approach us to talk to us and ask us why we had come to their city. The Lord answered my prayers, and a multitude of people, especially young men and women approached us. All of us still have contact with some of them. God’s favor overwhelmed us again and again! The first young man seemed to appear out of nowhere. He asked me why I had taken a photo of a family. At first, I felt that he was not happy with me but when I explained that I came to pray for people and would like to send the picture to my friends who are also praying, his whole attitude changed and he smiled at me and said: “It is wonderful to hear”. -MW says
Immediately upon arriving in our city, the leaders of our team ran into a man who invited us to hang out with him and his friends. Though we had prayed for God to draw people to us like magnets, it was my first time seeing the Holy Spirit bring an interested person forward that quickly. Hanging out with him and his friends on a street food tour for hours was a highlight of the trip. Dropping stories of Jesus and making friends with those young men was a joy. They welcomed us so warmly and were clearly hungry for something. -MK says
Along with seeing the power and beauty of being unified with God‘s people under one goal and vision, I experienced the joy of persevering in prayer together. Especially on days when I felt disillusioned or tired…I saw how God strengthened me and refocused me on his bigger purposes through the promises in his word. I saw how vital his promises are, especially the promise that his word does not return void. His word is like the spring rains that water the Earth; they will come! They will produce fruit and every good thing that God designed! I also was greatly impacted by the experience of praying over extremely poor and sometimes dark areas. Prayer helped me persevere. I was quite worried about being overwhelmed by the number of people, pollution and poverty in our city, and though there were difficult moments, the Lord sovereignly guided my eyes & heart to see in the spirit, not only in the physical. In many areas that could’ve felt completely hopeless, His spirit gave me hope that things can change. People can change, societies can change; oppression can be lifted. When we were praying, He truly showed us how he longs to give beauty for ashes, and joy instead of mourning.
Praying as part of the Between the Rivers Prayer Initiative was an incredible experience. There were several moments that seemed fruitful for us, and one of the most significant was the day the Lord directed us to pray in regards to adoption. Each of us praying that day were adoptive parents, so praying in this way really opened our eyes in such a beautiful, personal way. God used our own experiences to help us truly and deeply feel His heart of adoption for these people, to cry out to Him for them, to declare His word over them, and to announce His desire to adopt them into His family. One word spoken during that time was to ask that the “parental” rights of the enemy be terminated so that the people would be free to be adopted as sons of the Most High God. Wow, so powerful! This time of prayer was a sweet gift to each of us, and we are certain that the Lord continues to move in and through those prayers as we also continue to pray for these people, knowing His heart for them. -Malappuram Team
