This book will deepen any Christian intercessor's prayer life. The book proceeds through regions of the world and gives information on the unreachd people groups that live in these regions. The pictures will help you feel compassion for these peoples. I have used this book for a year now and I find that it has made my prayer life much more focussed on the nations. The prayer requests are specific to each group of people and make praying more accurate. If you desire to glorify God through prayer, this is the book for you! -Carissa Netsch (United States)

In 1995, Bethany World Prayer Center accepted the challenge of producing prayer profiles on the unreached. Each profile contains a photo, map, and information about the lifestyles, customs, and beliefs of the people. More importantly, it lists spiritual strongholds and addresses specific prayer needs. The Global 12 Project is the tool God has given us to reach the goal of planting a church among all of the unreached people groups of the world. Together with churches all over the United States and various nations of the world, we are sending leaders through the Global 12 Project to win souls and plant churches until every nation has heard the Gospel

FTLT is an organisation, situated in Pretoria, South Africa. It is designed to shape, train and equip a very particular type of missionary / person; one appropriate for the task of impacting his/her sphere of influence with Godly, Biblical values, and missions and church planting amongst some of the Least Reached People Groups of the world. Key leaders and mission strategists around the world have long agreed that the missionary leader of tomorrow requires a different and more holistic approach of training, preparing them for the harsh realities they might encounter. In our attempt to achieve the above we desire to see generations of mission leaders trained and equipped who are prepared to lay their lives and personal dreams down for the sake of expanding His kingdom.

Global Mapping International is a non-profit corporation dedicated to furthering the cause of world evangelization. Specifically, they seek to enable more appropriate and effective cross-cultural missions. The vision of GMI is to see information play its proper role in promoting missions and in getting missions planned and done. They believe that the right information in appropriate formats, readily available to the right people, makes all the difference in the world in carrying out God's mission in the world. The better the Church sees the world with fresh, godly insight, the better she will praise God for what he is doing, pray for the people of the world, understand and appreciate others, and join with God in serving appropriately and effectively in mission.

Based on a true story, Mamane's Journey tells of how the Gospel found root in a young man's heart and how the Lord sustained him through opposition. It is an encouragement for missionaries who wonder if their efforts are worthwhile, their prayers effective, their language studies meaningful. I am a homeschooling mom, the author of the book, the wife of the missionary who, along with national believers, helped the main character of this book learn of Christ. My desire is that this book will revive weary hearts and advance the Great Commission. The text is written so that older children and adults can go through it easily. It is less than 60 pages. My 18-year-old daughter (an MK!) did the pencil sketches throughout the book. I believe it could be a valuable resource to those who visit your website. Thank you very much! Sue Eckert
