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.

This Week’s Prayer Prompts 

This week's prayer is about religious freedom. Pray for boldness, strength and help for those being persecuted, for repentance and redemption of the persecutors, for laws that protect religious freedom to be passed and upheld, and for Christians to care and act on behalf of the persecuted. Pray for Canadian government officials to take action on behalf of those persecuted around the world.

Each week, we also list an affiliate organization to pray for. This week, pray for and mark on your calendar IDOP (International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church), which is scheduled for Nov. 2, 2025.
