Today’s prayer

We give thanks with mission partner Martin Gordon, Bishop of Goma, for a week’s retreat for all 60 clergy from across the Diocese of Goma earlier this year. After a very difficult few months, the group took the time to eat together and rest well, and reset and re-envision their ministries for the transformation of relationships: between them and God, with each other, with themselves and with creation.Pray for Bishop Martin and leaders across the diocese as they work towards peace throughout DR Congo. Pray for forgiveness and reconciliation, for new partnerships to be formed and for differences to fade in significance as Christians unite through God’s Spirit.

Our prayers are shared daily on our Facebook feed

and on the Prayermate app
