Hello, I have really enjoyed reading Loving the Lost through Prayer. It has provided me with a window in which to look into the lives of others who have been raised in a culture very different from what I have grown up with in the United States. The literature helped me to know how to pray for those living in different cultures with various beliefs without a copy of the bible in their language and without knowing Jesus Christ.

Loving the Lost

Excellent resource! It gave me insight on the different countries where our IMB missionaries are serving and the needs of the different areas. Makes my heart even more burdened for the lost. I wanted to share this resource with our North Dallas Mission Circle so I ordered them. They will be distributed at our May meeting. Thank you!

Loving the Lost Prayer Guide

The annual Loving the Lost Prayer Guide is an excellent resource!!!
Each Sunday, as we prepare to send His local church back to the mission field in our community, we use the weekly people group to remind folks to pray for others across the Acts 1:8 environment: our Jerusalem, our Judea, our Samaria and to the ends of the earth!
Thank you for yet another great Prayer Guide!

Loving the Lost
Written by Rana Jamison on Feb 13th 2026
This is an outstanding way to engage with mission needs around the world. I have read through these "devotional" books several times during the past three years. I read and pray over each page (one each day) and when I complete the book, I begin again. A new bit of scripture is included on each page, and I soak that in as well. Thank you IMB for producing this material and freely sending it to me.
