HOW CAN YOU JOIN THE MOVEMENT?
The Mission:
To inspire and resource the church to transform the buddhist world through prayer and action.
THE VISION:
Thank you for joining the New York Ministry Network Space on Change The Map (CTM). We want to enlist 100 churches and 2,000 prayer partners from the New York District to pray for the Buddhist World.
We believe in the power of prayer and believe God hears our prayers – like he heard the prayers of Abraham and Moses when they asked God to show mercy to His people. With that same spirit, we want to pray for God to show his mercy, grace, and love to Buddhists around the world. We want to pray that the good news of Jesus will be proclaimed AND received in unreached villages.
We also believe that prayer changes us. We will understand God's heart more as we engage our churches in this focused prayer for the Buddhist world.
We are asking you to consider starting a prayer space for your church and enlist prayer warriors from your community. Here you'll find information on how to set up your prayer space along with helpful resources to engage your people in prayer.

Change the Map: Impacting the Buddhist World through Prayer and Action
Change the Map contains a treasure of the most impactful and instructional experiences of Mark Durene’s missionary career, highlighting the spiritual chasm between the Thai spiritual world and God’s kingdom and demonstrating the reckless love of God that overcomes each obstacle to bring lost people to Himself. It is Mark’s prayer that the Holy Spirit will speak through each story to bring readers to their knees in intercession for Buddhist people and the missionaries who are sharing the gospel with them. May you respond as the Holy Spirit speaks to your heart.
15 Days of Prayer for the Buddhist World
This 15-day prayer guide comes from true stories sent by Change The Map workers in the Buddhist world. They illustrate the spiritual challenges and victories that are happening there today. May the Lord anoint your prayers as you take this 15-day journey.
Reaching Buddhists: A Four-Week Study to Encounter the Buddhist World
Karma…nirvana…mindfulness meditation… It’s likely you’ve heard of ideas from Buddhism, but what does it all really mean?
In this four-session small group study, you’ll join Alex as he shares about his trip to the Buddhist world with his friend Aaron. You’ll hear from Alex about foundational Buddhist teachings, main sects of Buddhism in Asia, and how Buddhism has morphed in America. And, you’ll learn about Buddhism and how to reach Buddhists with the gospel.
It is our prayer that you will encounter the Buddhist world in a new way and have God’s heart for the billion Buddhists in the world who do not yet know Jesus.
