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 request is about sanctity of life. Pray for our culture to be life-affirming; for strong social and economic supports for those facing unplanned pregnancy; and for women contemplating abortion and those who have had abortions. Pray for doctors and nurses who may be pressured to end life or at risk of losing employment for their refusal to participate in abortion

Pray also for legislators to recognize fetal rights and for an end to abortion.

Each week, we also highlight an EFC affiliate to pray for. Pregnancy Care Canada is a Christ-centred national best practice organization dedicated to affirming the value of every life by equipping pregnancy care centres and local communities with resources, education, and support to compassionately serve those challenged by an unexpected pregnancy.
