DOXA Prayer helps you pray, faithfully, for the unreached — the people groups who have little or no access to the good news of Jesus. Choose a people group to stand with in prayer, and DOXA becomes your companion for the journey. Each day you'll find fresh, guided prayer content: a moment to pause and pray, a glimpse into a "day in the life" of the people you're praying for, and the specific needs that matter most. WHY IT MATTERS Thousands of people groups around the world remain unreached. Prayer is where lasting change begins. When you commit to a group, you join believers around the world lifting up the same people — working toward hundreds of people playing, so not an hour passes without someone praying for them. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Choose your people group — browse and search, then commit to the group God puts on your heart. • Pray with daily content — open the Pray tab for guided prayer, Scripture to reflect on, and a window into each people's life, language, and culture. • Set gentle reminders — pick the days and times that work for you, and DOXA will nudge you when it's time to pray. • Learn as you pray — explore each group's population, primary language, religion, and the gospel resources available to them (Bible translation, the Jesus Film, audio scripture, radio, and more). • See the movement — see how many people are committed to praying • Discover the People Group of the Day — meet a new group each day. • Invite others — share your people group or show a QR code so friends can pray alongside you. • Stay in the loop — sign up for updates about your people group and news from DOXA. BUILT FOR EVERYONE DOXA is available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Russian, and Arabic, so you can pray in the language of your heart. Prayer moves the unreached toward the day they hear, for the first time about the love of God through Jesus Christ. Download DOXA and make prayer part of your everyday life. "Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." — 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
