This Week’s Prayer Prompts  

This week's prayer prompt is about new reproductive and genetic technologies.

New ways to treat illness and infertility are the goal of many reproductive and genetic technologies. Pray for protection for vulnerable people who may be exploited by these technologies, such as infertile couples desperate to have a child or low-income women who may donate eggs or become surrogates out of financial need.

Pray for laws that recognize some of these technologies are destructive of human life and risk turning children into commodities. God calls us to protect and respect human life, to care for the vulnerable and to support families.

Each week, we also list an EFC affiliate organization to pray for. This week's EFC affiliate highlight is Focus on the Family Canada. Focus on the Family Canada believes every family has the potential to thrive. And it wants to see Canada transformed by families that have been strengthened and redeemed. That’s why it provides families with consistent encouragement and practical help in four key areas: marriage, parenting, faith and culture, and life challenges.

You can always find the week’s prayer prompts at TheEFC.ca/TakeAction.
