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 in Canada. Pray:

Offering thanks to God for religious freedom in Canada.
For boldness to follow God’s calling to be salt and light
For our nation to allow religious communities to exist and flourish
For wisdom for the courts and elected officials

Each week, we also pray for an EFC affiliate organization. This week, pray for Intercede International.

Intercede International’s goal is to have a part in planting a witness for the name of our Lord among every unreached people group on earth. For nearly half a century, Intercede has served as a link between believers in industrialized nations and native missionaries from poorer countries around the world. Part of the work of Intercede is to tell the stories of the native missionaries, to tell about the dedication, effectiveness, and sacrifice of our brothers and sisters around the world. Intercede’s other work is to raise awareness of and intercession for the work of indigenous missions.
