We also list an EFC affiliate group to pray for.

This Week’s Prayer Prompts  

This week's prayer prompt is about sanctity of life.

Pray for our culture to be life-affirming. Pray for strong social and economic supports for those facing unplanned pregnancy. Pray for women contemplating abortion and those who have had abortions. Pray for doctors and nurses who may be pressured to end life or at risk of losing employment for their refusal to participate in abortion. Pray for legislators to recognize fetal rights and for an end to abortion.

   
Each week we also list an EFC affiliate organization to pray for. This week, pray for Pregnancy Care Canada, a Christ-centred national best practice organization dedicated to affirming the value of every life by equipping pregnancy care centres and local communities with resources, education, and support to compassionately serve those challenged by an unexpected pregnancy.
