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 new reproductive and genetic technologies. New ways to treat illness and infertility are the goal of many reproductive and genetic technologies. However, there is a risk that vulnerable people may be exploited, such as infertile couples desperate to have a child or low-income women who may donate eggs or become surrogates out of financial need.

Some of these technologies are destructive of human life and others may change our understanding of what it means to be human. A child may never have the possibility of knowing their lineage or biological relatives if they are conceived using anonymously donated sperm or eggs. We risk turning children into commodities, as well as changing the structure and understanding of families.

God calls us to protect and respect human life, to care for the vulnerable and to support families.

Pray for wisdom for lawmakers as they make decisions about reproductive and genetic technologies.
Pray for women who may be persuaded to participate in surrogacy or egg donation out of financial need.
Pray for Christian leaders to have wisdom about ethical issues surrounding reproductive and genetic technologies.
Pray for Canadians to have a greater understanding and awareness of the value of life from a biblical perspective.
