Take action

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.

Latest specific prayer need as of August 9, 2022

Each week at TheEFC.ca/TakeAction, we rotate through a prayer request from five areas. This week we’re praying about Human Trafficking.

Pray for healing and justice for victims of human trafficking and other forms of sexual exploitation, not only in Canada but also around the world. Pray that governments will be proactive in enacting laws that prevent the sexual exploitation of persons online and offline.

This week, our affiliate to pray for is Defend Dignity. The EFC regularly partners with Defend Dignity, an initiative of The Christian and Missionary Alliance (an EFC affiliate denomination). Defend Dignity exists to end all forms of sexual exploitation in Canada.

Also, we offer pandemic-focused prayer ideas we call [email protected], which we suggest you pray through on Fridays at 4 p.m. local time. Find new ones each month at TheEFC.ca/Covid-19.
