Pray for Zero
One shared prayer: Bringing God’s Word to Every Language
Over 1 billion people are still waiting for the full Bible in their language, and millions have not yet received even one verse. But when we pray, our prayers can bring these numbers to Zero, aligning with the vision and mission of illumiNations Asia.
Pray for Zero is a call to unite in prayer. It envisions a future where zero people are left without access to Scripture in their heart language, a goal deeply connected to the movement’s All Access Goals. Through the power of prayer, we can support translation teams, encourage Bibleless communities, and pave the way for God’s Word to reach everyone, as reflected in real testimonies shared across Impact Stories.
As Jesus said in Matthew 24:14, your prayers can help fulfill this promise. They can break barriers, inspire breakthroughs, and bring hope to the unreached, strengthening initiatives such as Pentecost 2025 and community mobilization through the Join Movement.
Let’s bring the numbers to zero — through prayer, partnership, and faithful perseverance, supporting the same translation processes explained in How It Works. As we pray, we stand alongside the global Bible translation movement represented by the Wycliffe Global Alliance and invite others to participate through Give, trusting God to move hearts and nations.
