PRAYER & FASTING — WED–FRI, 29–31 OCT 2025 | OCEANIA (Asia–Pacific Islands)
Beloved Intercessors,
The Oceania continent will be the final continent we intercede for in 2025, marking the completion of a full cycle where every continent has been lifted in prayer twice this year!
Glory be to God for what He is doing among the nations through the countless intercessions of His people. Your prayers have not been in vain!
We especially thank God for the relative peace now emerging in the Middle East, particularly between Israel and Gaza, the region we just concluded praying for throughout October.
May this peace deepen, take root, and bear lasting fruit across generations. ✡️️
As we turn our hearts toward Oceania—Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands—let us believe for a mighty move of God across the seas, the islands, and the nations.
“For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.” — Habakkuk 2:14
May His name be glorified forever, and may His Kingdom advance through every prayer offered in faith,
In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen!
In prayer and fasting our focus shifts to Oceania for three days of targeted intercession – 29th, 30th, 31st and continue all the way to November 27th, every Thursday of November dedicated to praying for the island nations of Oceania.
Below is a fresh news sweep (good + hard news), focus areas across 8 spheres, and 40 declarations/prayer points that will also carry us through every Thursday of November (6, 13, 20, 27).
