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 care for the vulnerable.

God calls us to care for those who are vulnerable. To love our neighbour is the second greatest commandment, after loving God. Jesus’ parable of the Good Samaritan teaches that our neighbour is anyone who is in need.

Pray that as Canadian Christians, we will obey the command to love our neighbour by giving generously and caring for those need, including the foreigner, the widow, the orphan and the poor, just as followers of God were called to do in both the Old and New Testaments.  

Each week we also list an EFC affiliate organization to pray for. This week, pray for Mission Aviation Fellowship. Its mission is "serving together to bring help, hope and healing through aviation" and its vision is "to see isolated people changed by the love of Christ."
