Today’s prayer

In DR Congo, church is considered by many to be the only institution still worthy of trust, putting local churches in an ideal position to support people amid ongoing conflict and this year’s Ebola outbreak. Praise God that many churches have thrown open their doors to offer spiritual and practical support to as many people as they can. Martin Gordon, Bishop of Goma, supports Christians across the diocese to continue discipling each other and build peace across denominations and people groups. Pray for people to continue turning to Jesus in their desperation and build a solid faith. As churches offer practical support in the form of food parcels and medicine, pray for people to encounter the living God and commit their lives to him.

Our prayers are shared daily on our Facebook feed

and on the Prayermate app
