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 prompt is about palliative care.

Pray for those at the end of life, who have received a terminal diagnosis or who have suffered a traumatic injury, and their families. Pray for our culture to be life-affirming and compassionate. Pray for our churches to be known for supporting and caring for loving those at the end of life. Pray for all Canadians to have access to high quality palliative care.

Each week we also list an EFC affiliate organization to pray for. This week, pray for Salvation Army Canada, whose mission is to share the love of Jesus Christ, meet human needs and be a transforming influence in the communities of our world.
