Today’s prayer

Martin Gordon, Bishop of Goma, DR Congo, supports Christians to grow, share their faith with others and build peace across denominations and people groups. We give thanks with Martin that churches across the diocese are seeing growth, despite ongoing conflict in the country.One parish recently raised money to help build a church by buying a pig and selling its 12 piglets. Pray for more parishes to think creatively about fundraising so they can build church buildings, finance their own mission and support local communities with school buildings and salaried teachers.

Our prayers are shared daily on our Facebook feed
