Prayer

"You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light."

1 Peter 2:9

Pray for our municipal, provincial, and federal leaders. Pray that all would be given wisdom to govern with justice and mercy. Pray for Jesus-followers who are serving in these spaces - that the Lord would grant them favour in places of influence so that they might uphold the truth in love for the blessing of all.

Pray for those who are suffering in mind, body, and spirit. Faithfully pray for healing, for community support, and for the Lord Jesus to be revealed in places of both suffering and restoration.

Pray for Iris Waldner and her ministry with Frontiers Canada, providing support and training for those sent to proclaim the gospel across the Muslim World. Ask the Lord to empower movements of disciples and churches to transform society in these hard places. Ask the Lord to provide abundantly through Frontiers' fundraising efforts in the coming weeks.

Pray for the mission of Samaritan's Purse through Operation Christmas Child and their discipleship pathway, The Greatest Journey. Pray for boxes to reach their destination safely and without logistical delays. Pray for the children who will receive the boxes to hear the good news and begin a relationship with Jesus, belong to his family, and become more like him.

The EMCC has a vision for 7000 new baptisms by 2033 across its Canadian churches. Pray for those who were baptized this year at Albright - that they would be empowered to faithful obedience and welcomed into God's family with open arms. Pray for the hearts of many in our country to be turned to Jesus this year. For boldness to proclaim their faith even when opposition arises. Pray for EMCC churches to be faithful in proclaiming the gospel, inviting people to repent of their sin and be baptized in the name of Jesus.
