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.’ Children and child practitioners from our partner networks, as well as other organisations and churches, created resources that prompted prayer for at-risk children in churches and communities across multiple cities worldwide - see their wonderful efforts here. We were delighted 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.
If you ran a World Weekend of Prayer event, could you take a few minutes to fill out the feedback form below? It would be very encouraging for us to hear about the different ways that children and adults prayed - and of course, the testimonies about prayers answered. You can also share photographs (please ensure these are allowed to be used publicly, with acceptable permissions). This will be enormously helpful in preparing our report - thank you.
Read more about how the World Weekend of Prayer was celebrated in 2025, as more than 350,000 children and 250,000 adults in 53 countries took part under the theme, Life in all its Fullness.
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 receive a copy of the report of this year’s events, as well as be the first to receive information for next year’s World Weekend of Prayer.
