Refugees

You've probably seen the stories on the news or heard about this crisis some other way. Thousands of people are fleeing their homeland because, due to war and other circumstances, it is not safe for them to continue living there. They risk dangerous journeys to countries, like the UK, where they hope to find safety and a better life for their families. But the welcome they receive is often unfriendly and cruel. 

PRAY for these people to find safety, warmth, food and shelter when they arrive in this country. Pray for organisations like Edinburgh City Mission and Refuweegee who work hard to make sure refugees receive a warm welcome with friendly faces and the support they need.
​
​PRAY that our nation would change their heart and attitude towards refugees; that love and compassion would outdo anger and selfishness.

Slavery

We've talked about human trafficking and slavery before.
Today, I'd love you to write a postcard of hope to a child who really needs it. It'll show them that they are seen, valued and loved. The link will take you to International Justice Mission's website, scroll about half way down the page and follow the instructions to send a postcard or letter of hope.

If you want to know how to pray, go to the stories section, pick a story and pray for children who are facing those circumstances today.

A global pandemic

Corona-virus has had a huge affect on all of us. But for hundreds of thousands of people around the world, they have not just faced the risk of corona-virus and lockdown restrictions but they have lost their source of food and income, with absolutely no support from their governments.
Pray that people would find ways to feed their families without having to resort to crime.
Pray for wisdom for governments across the world as they balance the risk of corona-virus with the risk of starvation in the nation they lead.
​Pray for people from across the whole world to have a generous heart towards the poor.
