June 2025 Prayer Calendar

Over half the world lives here. Most don’t know Jesus. Let’s pray.

June 2025
Pray for The Circle of Significance

Dear Prayer Partner,

I’d love to invite you to join me in prayer this June—for our amazing team and the incredible work happening in a region known as the Circle of Significance.

You might be wondering, what exactly is that? Think of it like the 10/40 Window—it’s a part of the world, mostly in Asia, that includes 25 countries such as China, India, Japan, Indonesia, Pakistan, the Philippines, and many others. It’s called “significant” for a reason: though it only covers about 15% of the world’s land area, it’s home to more than half of the planet’s population. That’s over 2.2 billion people.

Even more staggering—this area contains nearly 5,000 unreached people groups. That’s 67% of all unreached groups in the world. According to the Joshua Project, this is where 99% of all Hindus, 98% of all Buddhists, and half of all Muslims live. Yet only a tiny fraction of Christians—less than 15%—are in this region. And just under 5% of the population here are evangelical believers.

But here’s the hopeful part: God is on the move.

Through Global Disciples, more than 60 team members are serving in this region, partnering with over 600 groups of churches and running more than 1,300 discipleship training programs. Last year alone, over 8,700 new followers of Jesus began worshipping in more than 100 new fellowships. Each one is a light in a dark place. Each one is a miracle.

This is why I’m asking for your prayers. Not just once, but throughout this month. Pray for strength and boldness for our teams, for open hearts among the unreached, and for continued breakthroughs. Your prayers make a difference—truly.

Thank you for walking alongside us in this. Let’s keep leaning into what God is doing in one of the most spiritually significant corners of the world. I’m so grateful to have you on this journey.

Until the whole world knows,

Andre Lesur
Executive Director, Global Disciples Canada

P.S. With our fiscal year ending this month, we’re asking for your help to reach a $100,000 goal so we can train more disciple makers in places like the Circle of Significance. Would you consider making a gift today? Your support truly makes a difference. 👉  Give here 

The Cost of Evangelism

Recently, several program directors in South Asia reflected on the difficulty of sharing the Gospel and the opposition that they face as they seek to equip other followers of Jesus as disciples and church planters.
