We have the joy of being a praying community online and offline. Here is today’s prayer from Prayerlines, our daily, printed prayer guide.

Today’s prayer

As mission partners Azaria and David Pocasangre journey with young people in Guatemala, pray for young people’s hearts to be open to Jesus. Pray also for the families of these children as Azaria and David look to support them. Pray too for David as he starts leading music workshops with children and young people.

Our prayers are shared daily on our Facebook feed

Acts 11 Project

Give thanks for an energising launch conference last week for the Acts 11 Centre for Global Witness and Human Migration. Pray for the momentum to continue, especially for more partners to join the project, which seeks to equip Christian communities for hospitable ministry and migrants for sharing the gospel on the move.

Paraguay: rain

South Asia: travelling and teaching

Please pray for CMS’s manager in Asia as she travels this month for CMS meetings in one country and meetings with the church in another country.

South East Asia: prison ministry

Mission partners involved in prison ministry with men in South East Asia are currently not permitted to meet with the prisoners in person. Please pray that permission for face-to-face contact will be granted again so that the team can encourage the men through spending time with them.

Sudan: war escalating

Local partner Bishop Hassan James writes that the war in Sudan is escalating, especially in Darfur and Al-Fashir, and that many families have been displaced. Pray for opportunities for believers to reach displaced people with the gospel and demonstrate God’s love to them. Pray for those driving the conflict to be ready to engage in […]

Uganda: positive messages in refugee camps

We praise God with local partner Sam Malish for recent distribution of mini-speakers among South Sudanese refugees. Pray for refugees’ hearts to be open and for them to meet Jesus as they listen to the messages of trauma healing, peacebuilding, child protection, positive parenting and Christian teaching.

Uganda: short-termers settling in

Short-termers Emily and Matt Grimwade and their son left the UK and travelled to Arua in northern Uganda this past week. Pray for them as they begin to settle in and start working with local partner Sam Malish.

Britain: pioneer students

Praise God for an amazing new cohort of students who have started studying with CMS this week after an induction. Please pray for them to gel and bond as a group. Give thanks that we now run courses in African and Asian Christianity and have a large number of funded youth places this year too. […]
