Multiple explosions shook Kabul this week amid reports of suspected Pakistani airstrikes targeting positions of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). Regional outlets and Afghan officials said the strikes hit residential areas near the capital, with unconfirmed claims that TTP leader Noor Wali Mehsud may have been killed. Both governments have traded accusations for months, as Pakistan insists militant sanctuaries operate from Afghan soil while the Taliban authorities deny complicity.
The attack marks a dangerous escalation between two nuclear-armed neighbours already struggling with instability, economic hardship, and displaced populations along their porous border. Analysts warn that retaliation could trigger a new cycle of violence, complicating humanitarian operations and further endangering civilians. Local reports indicate families fleeing affected districts as fears of reprisal grow.
Christian ministries operating quietly in both countries are calling for prayer and protection for vulnerable communities. The small but courageous Afghan and Pakistani churches—many meeting in homes—remain steadfast, ministering amid insecurity. “Even when bombs fall, we cling to Jesus’ peace,” one believer wrote in an encrypted message shared with partners abroad.
Prayer Pointers
- Pray: for restraint and diplomacy between Islamabad and Kabul to prevail. “Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.” (Psalm 34:14, NIV)
- Pray: for protection of civilians and wisdom for leaders seeking stability. “Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.” (James 3:18, NIV)
- Pray: for believers in both nations to be salt and light amid danger. “You are the light of the world… let your light shine before others.” (Matthew 5:14,16, NIV)
- Prayer for Pakistan and Afghanistan
Prince of Peace, restrain violence and protect the innocent. Strengthen Your people to serve bravely, love boldly, and carry Your gospel of reconciliation where fear reigns. Amen.

Join Us for 15 Days of Prayer for the Hindu World (12–26 October 2025)
“Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples.” (Psalm 96:3)
We warmly invite you, your family, and your church to join International Prayer Connect for 15 Days of Prayer for the Hindu World, from 12–26 October 2025. Together, let’s stand in prayer for over 1.2 billion Hindus, many of whom have never heard the Good News of Jesus Christ.
This special prayer initiative surrounds Diwali, the Hindu “Festival of Lights”- a time when hearts are open to spiritual conversations and new beginnings. As Hindus celebrate light triumphing over darkness, we believe this is a prophetic moment to pray that many will discover Jesus, the true Light of the World (John 8:12).
We’re excited to announce that adult and children’s prayer guides have been prepared in over 30 languages and are available at 110cities.com. These guides feature powerful testimonies - like miraculous healings that led entire villages to Christ - alongside fascinating facts, cultural insights, and profiles of cities where significant unreached Hindu people groups live. Each day offers focused prayer points and links for further exploration.
This prayer journey includes, on 20th October, a Global Day of Prayer, uniting believers worldwide to intercede for breakthrough among Hindu communities - especially across India.
Watch Dr Jason Hubbard’s personal invitation video!
“Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations for Your inheritance.” (Psalm 2:8)
Whether you’re a church leader, a family, a youth group, or an individual intercessor, your prayers can open spiritual doors and transform destinies.
Let’s raise our voices together so that every Hindu person may one day hear and respond to the hope found in Jesus Christ.
Join us - and let’s pray together for the Hindu world!

With faith and expectation
By Tom Victor
September 5th marked the U.S. and Canada Premiere of the new movie - Light of the World.
It is a beautifully hand-drawn animated film that follows Jesus’ life through the eyes of young John, powerfully sharing the Gospel message of love, hope, and salvation with children and families worldwide.
It is scheduled for release in 30 more nations before the end of 2025. The film will be translated into 500+ languages.
The film’s makers' vision is for the movie to nurture new and existing believers through free Gospel discipleship materials. A Gospel invitation and QR code are displayed on screen at the end of the film to encourage people to respond.
The IPC and 2BC families have been praying for the success of this remarkable film and for many children and adults across the world to be reached with its Gospel message.
Who is behind Light of the World?
The Salvation Poem Project has created Light of the World. Perhaps you’ve heard of them as the Salvation Poem is at the end of every Superbook episode and is available in almost 100 languages.
2BC and Shine!
‘Rise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.’ (Isaiah 60:1)
On two occasions now, children from 20 nations have taken turns leading 24 hours of “on-line” prayer in our 2BC Prayer Room. Many others joined them “off-line” as well. They were part of the newly established Shine Project.
The vision of Shine! is to be praying for children (and adults) to know Jesus, boldly share His love, and for the Light of the World movie to impact families and nations with the Gospel. Watch the Trailer!
These Shine 24 hour events have been so successful that due to popular demand, we are holding a third one one! -
Shine! – 24 Hours of Prayer for the Light of the World’
October 14, 2025
Starts: 00:00 EST | 06:00 CEST | 12:00HRS SGT
Shine! is a 24-hour global celebration of Jesus, hosted by children, families, churches and ministries across every continent. We’re lifting up the name of Jesus and praying for the success of the upcoming “Light of the World” movie – a powerful Gospel film being translated into hundreds of languages.
Continuous online Zoom sessions and offline local gatherings will blend worship, intercession, creativity and child-led passion. Children will pray boldly, worship joyfully, and share Jesus faithfully!
You can join an hour online or lead your own gathering at home or church using our free Shine! Small Group Pack. Let’s raise a wave of worship and intercession that covers the earth - through the voices of the next generation!
Why is our 2BC Family partnering with this movie?
2BC has three core values. 1) Children Hearing the Voice of their Heavenly Father; 2) Children Knowing their Identity in Christ; 3) Children Empowered by God’s Spirit to Share His Love with Others. Light of the World is a powerful resource to help children – both the little ones and the older ones - become 2BC Champions as they discover their identity and share the message of God’s love with others in their neighborhood and around the world.
The Shine Project has created several free resources to help children Shine! as 2BC Champions in support of this movie, including a Prayer Guide, B.L.E.S.S. Cards, God’s Favorite and Shine Songs. There are some exclusive Light of the World resources launching this week too!
You can find them all at:https://www.2bc.world/shine/
Is the Shine Project for me?

- You are a child;

Join the Eurasia 24/7 Prayer Summit – Called to the Wall!
13-15 October 2025 (Optional Prayer Journey on 16th) - Island of Malta
Across Europe and the Middle East, there’s a rising sense of urgency and hope. The spiritual heritage of these lands runs deep, and many believe we are standing on the threshold of a great awakening.
In this pivotal hour, Jericho Walls International Prayer Network and IPC warmly invite you to the Eurasia 24/7 Prayer Summit, taking place 13–15 October 2025 on the beautiful island of Malta.
The summit’s theme, “Called to the Wall,” echoes the powerful words of Isaiah 62:6-7:
“I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; they shall never hold their peace day or night. You who make mention of the Lord, do not keep silent, and give Him no rest till He establishes and till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.”
God is raising up watchmen—men and women who will not rest until Heaven touches Earth in Western Europe, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East. The Eurasia Summit is a gathering for those who carry a burden for prayer for revival in these regions. Leaders from every nation in this vast and diverse part of the world will gather in Malta to celebrate what God is doing and contend for what is yet to come.
This summit is part of a global movement, one of five strategic gatherings around the world, all carrying the same vision: to see 24/7 prayer established in every nation on earth by 2033.
The mission is clear—to encourage, equip, and empower leaders to build unceasing prayer in local churches, cities, and nations.
Whether you are a pastor, prayer leader, intercessor, or simply someone burning with a vision to see God move in your nation, this summit is for you. Let’s unite across borders, languages, and cultures to lift up one sound, one cry, one relentless prayer: “God, have Your way in our nations!”
Watch the video: https://youtu.be/C1_y6nitYfg
Join us in Malta this October. Let’s answer the call to the wall—together!

Forests in the Seed: How Kingdom Movements are Multiplying Across the Unreached World
by William J. Dubois (Author), Stan Parks (Author), Justin Long (Author)
Forests in the Seed opens a window into the 21st century of God's plan to multiply His Kingdom to everyone everywhere.
Rather than a theory-based "how-to" book, this is a testimony of what is happening now as men, women, and children raised to new life in Christ are denying themselves, taking up their cross, and following Him. The stories within this book are remarkable, supernatural in nature, and yet also lay out simple principles of multiplication found in Scripture.
Perhaps most incredible is a pattern weaved together of everyday people compelled by a vision of a resurrected Christ, who are being used in extraordinary ways to spread the Gospel in nearly impossible places. There is a spiritual revolution underway, and Forests in the Seed is your invitation to join and help change the world.
Publisher: Patmos Education Group (September 29, 2024)
