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 prompt 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. Pray for Christians to care and act on behalf of the persecuted and for Canadian government officials to take action on behalf of those persecuted around the world.

    
Each week we also list an EFC affiliate organization to pray for.  For more than 65 years Open Doors Canada has worked in the world’s most oppressive and restrictive countries, strengthening Christians to stand strong in the face of persecution and equipping them to shine Christ’s light in these places.
