Making disciples among the children and youth of the nations
INVITING THE WORLD TO PRAY
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age (Matthew 28:19, 20).
THE PRAYER COVENANT PRAYER FOR CHILDREN
Candy Marballi
President and CEO of The Prayer Covenant
The Children’s Prayer Covenant has been an adventure of a lifetime. I have seen and experienced God’s provision and faithfulness firsthand on a daily basis. The ministry continues to be an unfolding miracle. It affirms God’s heart for children across the globe. It affirms His unconditional love and desire to hear from them daily. And it has affirmed the words in Proverbs 16:9: Commit to the Lord whatever you do and your plans will succeed.
The Children’s Prayer Covenant is empowering children around the world as they not only experience answers to prayer but discover what it means to walk with Jesus and experience His presence, His power, and His unconditional love. I believe with all my heart that if we want to raise a generation of faithful Jesus followers and disciple makers we must model this for our children and youth.

He Hears Her Voice
Written by Candy Marballi
“Teach us to pray,” was the humble request of Jesus’ disciples over two thousand years ago and remains the heart cry of many of His followers today.
Declaring the promises of God through prayer can lead to untold blessings and opportunities. He Hears Her Voice is a prayer strategy that offers proven steps to guide you to a richer and deeper relationship with God. One prayer comprised of ten unshakable truths (grace, love, compassion, repentance, worship, commitment, dependence, influence, discipleship, and authority) will empower your prayer life. Through vivid personal stories, meditative Scripture, beautiful hymns, and meaningful prayers, this devotional provides a grounding worship experience. He Hears Her Voice will equip a generation of women to live out their faith in ever growing intimacy with the God who loves them so completely.
The Prayer Covenant is excited to partner with her.BIBLE and their new book He Hears Her Voice, being released in April. her.BIBLE, a ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ, is an audio version of the Bible in the voices of women. What a blessing for women to hear from God and be reassured He hears them as they approach His throne each day in prayer. Be sure to check out her.BIBLE.
