Sites to Help Train Kids as Prayer Warriors

This month we are featuring some children’s prayer sites packed with information, resources, and activities to help train kids as prayer warriors—connected to Jesus, empowered by the Holy Spirit, able to listen to the voice of the Father, and focused upon God’s agenda for His Kingdom!

Window Kids (windowkids.com)
This highly interactive, incredibly inventive website will engage children in learning about and praying for the nations and children of the 10/40 Window. One of the most creative children’s prayer sites on the web, it will stretch children to pray globally. On the home page you will find the latest edition of Window Kids™ Magazine that focuses on a particular nation’s culture.

Headings allow children to Connect, Explore, Create, and Play:

• Connect: Kids can read the magazine, take a quiz on the 10/40 Window, or click on an interactive map of the world that offers prayer points for the nations in the 10/40 Window.
• Explore: Clicking on the Explore button will take children to three doors—options for exploring countries in the 10/40 window. Behind one door kids can learn about Africa. Behind another, the Middle East. And behind the third, Asia. Children can also listen to traditional music, such as African drums, or click on recipes for things such as Moroccan Pancakes or Arabic Cookies. The website is filled with pictures of children, animals, and sights one might see in these nations.
• Create: This portion of the website provides two choices for creative expression. Kids can choose the 10/40 Window Wardrobe, where they can select various faces and clothing to create a wide variety of looks on “virtual paper dolls.” Or, in the Paint Studio, children may choose one of four pictures: giraffe, alligator, elephant, or Thai women. Then they can click on various colors to “paint” these pictures, which can be saved or printed.
• Play: Children have three choices on this screen: 10/40 Arcade (which allows them to ride on a scooter and avoid obstacles), a matching game, or 10/40 Puzzles (which allows them to put together puzzles of a variety of children’s faces from other nations). There are easy, medium, or hard levels.

My Kids is for those who join Window Kids (a free sign-up). Each time a child signs in, he or she can “unlock” another picture of a child from a 10/40 Window country.  Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind website! Children will enjoy this site for hours and learn how to pray for children in the 10/40 Window at the same time.

Kids Prayer (kidsprayer.com)
Part of the World Network of Prayer, this site provides ideas and resources for both kids and grown-ups. The kids’ side is full of pictures, ideas, and prayer requests. The adults’ side, growing monthly, offers fresh articles and mentor-friendly information and helps. Check back often to see what’s new.

Children’s Prayer Network (surf.to/kidspray)
The vision of the Children’s Prayer Network is to mobilize and network praying Christian children, to support and encourage the training and equipping of these children, and to enable them to take their place in God’s family as part of the army He is raising up to reach this generation.

Founder Jane Mackie has a deep desire for children to know God through prayer and then to become world changers. Founded in Australia in 1995, The Children’s Prayer Network (birthed from the Australian AD2000 Movement) has become an international ministry with children trained to teach other children in prayer.

The site features testimonies, videos, photos, and other information about this very unique ministry that desires to offer training wherever they are invited and able to travel.
