6-7 June 2026
Each year, during the first weekend of June, the World Weekend of Prayer for children at risk unites hundreds of thousands of children and adults across the world in prayer.
We are so grateful to everyone who has played a part in this year’s World Weekend of Prayer on 6-7 June under our theme, ‘He’s got the whole world in His hands.’ We have very much enjoyed reviewing the feedback from this year’s events, which have been so encouraging. You can view some photographs here, and a summary report and longer article can be found below.
We are so thankful to all the children and child practitioners from our partner networks, as well as other organisations and churches, who created resources that prompted prayer for at-risk children in churches and communities across multiple cities worldwide - see their wonderful efforts here.
We are also grateful that the Global Children’s Forum, the Lausanne Movement's Children and Family & Children-at-Risk Issue Networks and World Without Orphans supported this year’s World Weekend of Prayer.
Above, you can hear Phil, our CEO, share a devotion on this year’s theme.
If you missed it this year, you are welcome to sign up below to access the prayer resources used, including best-practice guides, which could still help you plan any kind of prayer event for and with children. By joining our mailing list, you will also be the first to receive information about next year’s World Weekend of Prayer, which will take place on 5-6 June 2027. We look forward to seeing you there!
