This Week’s Prayer Prompts    

This week’s prayer request is about education. Pray for parents, who have primary responsibility for nurturing and educating children. The Bible tells us that we are responsible to teach our children about what God has done.  

Pray also for strength and wisdom in teachers in contemporary elementary and high school classrooms where students may have difficult home lives and may be challenging to teach, discipline and guide. Pray for the students in these classrooms, that they will have opportunities to grow to the fullness of their academic and social potential. Pray for wisdom for teachers in Christian universities, that they would instil in their students a Christian perspective as they learn about the world around them.

This week's EFC affiliate highlight focuses on our educational affiliates, including many different Canadian Christian universities and colleges. You can find the list of educational affiliates on our website. 

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