What if your daily prayers could help shape the spiritual future of a billion people? Change The Map rallies Christians into a focused prayer movement for the Buddhist world — one of the largest and least-reached mission fields on earth.^1
Founded in 2013 by Assemblies of God missionary Mark Durene, who has served in Thailand since 1994, Change The Map equips believers to pray with knowledge and purpose.^2 The app delivers weekly Prayer Moments with specific requests from global workers on the ground, a monthly podcast featuring cross-cultural workers and Buddhist-background believers, a Buddhism 101 mini-course, Scripture-based devotionals, and prayer spaces organized by country and missionary.^1 You can follow nations like Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam, join prayer challenges, and connect with prayer groups in your church or community.^3
Built on the Mighty Networks platform, the community also supports livestream prayer events and multilingual content in Thai, Spanish, Japanese, and Burmese.^3 Change The Map provides a companion book and a downloadable 15-day prayer guide drawn from real stories of workers in the Buddhist world.^4
