March 7, 2026, is our Navigators Worldwide Day of Prayer—a sacred and significant time to come before God together as a global family. For over a decade, Navigators around the world have united in prayer on a Saturday in March, setting aside this day to seek the Lord, align our hearts with His purposes, and trust Him for what is ahead.

As we approach this time, let us not take this invitation lightly. International President Joe Maschhoff reminds us:

“Hebrews 4:16 urges us to draw near to the throne of God with confidence. Based on the finished work of Christ, we are welcomed to the Ultimate Throne. God is seated there and is inviting us to approach. I pray we all take His invitation as seriously as He does.”

One of our Core Values as Navigators is expectant faith and persevering prayer rooted in God’s promises. We come before Him, not in our own strength, but in full confidence that He hears us. As 1 John 5:14-15 assures us: “This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of Him.”

This prayer guide is a resource to help us join in prayer for key requests from across our movement. You have the option to use the prayer guide sequentially, beginning with our Navigator Calling, Values, and Vision (The Core); then proceed to our global requests; followed by requests from each region (in alphabetical order). Alternatively, you may opt to navigate freely from section to section. However you decide to utilize this guide, may you experience profound fellowship with the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

Wherever you are, and however you engage, rest assured that you are joining others from all corners of the world before God’s throne. You are part of a worldwide chorus of voices calling on our Father, trusting that He will move in ways beyond what we can ask or imagine.

May God meet us powerfully on this day and in the days ahead.

To God be the glory!

The Core

Calling:

To advance the Gospel of Jesus and His Kingdom into the nations through spiritual generations of laborers living and discipling among the lost.

Values:

1) The passion to know, love, and become like Jesus Christ.

2) The truth and sufficiency of the Scriptures for the whole of life.

3) The transforming power of the Gospel.

4) The leading and empowering of the Holy Spirit.

5) Expectant faith and persevering prayer rooted in the promises of God.

6) The dignity and value of every person.

7) Love and grace expressed among us in community.

8) Families and relational networks in discipling the nations.

9) Interdependent relationships in the Body of Christ in advancing the Gospel.

Vision:

We see a vital movement of the Gospel, fueled by prevailing prayer, flowing freely through relational networks and out into the nations. Workers for the Kingdom are next door to everywhere! What characterizes this movement? A heart for the whole person . . . climates of grace . . . compassion for the vulnerable and broken . . . sacrificial unity embracing diversity . . . cultural relevance and sensitivity . . . interdependence with others in the wider family of God . . . transformed men and women, fragrant with humility and the aroma of Christ. They are marked by a deep engagement with and obedience to the Scriptures as the Word of God. They believe the promises of God. Both personally and in committed communities, they seek to know and pursue the purposes of God.

Laborers and leaders are emerging, with an increasing passion for Jesus Christ. They demonstrate faith and courage as they live and move among their friends and families. As spiritual parents, they model authenticity and relevance.

Ordinary people, in many walks of life, are joyfully leading integrated lives. They live as fruitful insiders among the lost. There is perseverance in the face of hardship and suffering. Around the world, many are coming to faith. As they become established in discipleship, some grow to be foundational for further generations. The Gospel spreads naturally and powerfully, as believers share Christ . . . life upon life . . . family to family.

Crossing cultures into new cities and nations, teams of mobile pioneers intentionally proclaim and embody the good news of Jesus Christ, in such a way that transformed communities multiply. These communities are bringing joy and hope to their surrounding environments as relationships are healed and justice increases. Indeed, the lost and unreached burn in their hearts, as they move the Gospel into the nations.

The leaders of this movement, developed and empowered for God’s service, live out a growing commitment to Christlikeness. They are dependent upon the Holy Spirit. New generations of leaders are emerging, rooted incarnationally in their local and national contexts. An international leadership community brings focus, alignment, and energy to their movement. These leaders are committed to long-term impact in generational ministry.

Global Prayer Themes

As we come together for the Worldwide Day of Prayer, we invite you to pray over these common themes that reflect the heart of our ministries across regions:

God Our Holy Center – Prayer, Word, and Fasting: Pray that every laborer and leader will deepen their intimacy with God through prayer, the study of His Word, and fasting. Ask that God will guide all ministry decisions and cultivate hearts fully centered on Him. (Matthew 6:33, Acts 14:23)

Thanksgiving for God’s Promises: “I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore…and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed…” (Genesis 22:17-18)

Next Generation Leaders: Pray for God to raise up, equip, and empower new leaders who will advance the Gospel with faithfulness and boldness. Pray for the equipping, training, and development of laborers and leaders willing to be sent to unreached and underreached nations. Pray for sensitivity to the Holy Spirit’s leading in identifying and developing these leaders.

Pioneering, Discipleship & Gospel Movement: Pray for open doors as ministries expand into new countries, cities, and communities. Ask for the multiplication of disciples as the Gospel spreads through families, relational networks, and communities—especially in unreached and underreached areas. Pray for laborers to experience breakthroughs in reaching a new, younger generation. Pray also for staff to equip local believers to sow seeds of the Gospel, with God’s blessing, to reap a harvest. Pray that God will bring freedom and transformation to new believers in Jesus, and that they will be anchored in and have a hunger for His Word. For specific prayer requests for these laborers and ministries, please pray over the Missionary Sending Priorities document found at navigatorsworldwide.org/worldwide-missions.

 Local Communities of Laborers: Pray for communities of generational laborers in every city where we work. Ask God to strengthen existing communities and establish new ones, especially where disciples are isolated. Pray that these communities will share life together, embodying the Navigator Core and choosing expressions relevant to their culture. Pray for God to raise up local leaders and for deep investment in disciplemakers across cities, rural areas, churches, workplaces, and neighborhoods. Pray for resilient harvest workers equipped to navigate hardships while remaining focused on the Great Commission and the Greatest Commandment.

Leadership Transitions: Pray for wisdom and guidance for leaders stepping into new roles and for smooth transitions in national and regional leadership.

Challenges & Perseverance: Lift up those facing war, political instability, persecution, and cultural barriers. Pray for courage and resilience as they continue ministering in difficult circumstances. Pray for the growth of the Gospel and effective transformation among the poor, the weak, and the vulnerable communities worldwide. Pray for the raising up of new laborers for these challenging contexts.

Resources & Provision: Pray for financial provision, sustainable ministry models, and logistical support for upcoming gatherings and strategic initiatives.

New laborers to come alongside the work in Lima, Peru

Pray for a young couple with a heart to serve and a desire to be part of what God is doing in this vibrant, bustling city.

What matters most is a willingness to love people well, step into community, and grow alongside us.

A team of laborers to serve at ANAPO in Honduras

Seeking two couples or two singles who speak Spanish and are willing to grow in language skills. This is a unique and timely opportunity God has opened within the National Police Academy (ANAPO).

Lift Up!
