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. 

Last year, more than 350,000 children and 250,000 adults in 53 countries took part in the World Weekend of Prayer. The theme was Life in all its Fullness.

Planning is currently underway for this year’s World Weekend of Prayer, which will take place from 6-7 June 2026. With the theme “He’s got the whole world in His hands,” children and child practitioners from countries including Nepal, India, the Philippines, Zambia, Uganda, Tanzania, Ethiopia, El Salvador, Bolivia, Argentina and Cuba have been busy creating prayer resources that can be used in prayer events run anytime over the weekend.

This year’s devotion is available here, and some other materials are now available on our website. Sign up below to access a Participant Guide and multiple downloadable resources to join a global community praying for children at risk.
