Pray

Prayer is essential to any effective action. Each week at TheEFC.ca/TakeAction we rotate through a prayer request from each of these five areas: Sanctity of Life Care for the Vulnerable Church and Mission Family and Community Religious Freedom. We also list an EFC affiliate group to pray for.

This Week’s Prayer Prompts 

This week's prayer is about evangelism and discipleship. 

In Matthew 9:37–38, Jesus says, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” Pray that Canada may be filled with workers bringing the gospel to the unreached. Pray that new believers may be discipled and equipped to walk with Christ.

Each week we also list an EFC affiliate organization to pray for. This week, pray for Women Together, whose mission is to engage Canadian Christian women to provide education, leadership training, skills development, and Biblical instruction to women leaders around the world.
