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

We also list an EFC affiliate group to pray for.

This Week’s Prayer Prompts  

This week’s prayer request is about religious freedom. Pray offering thanks to God for the freedom of religion we currently enjoy; for boldness to follow God’s calling to be salt and light; for our nation to allow religious communities to exist and flourish; and for wisdom for the courts and elected officials.

Each week, we also highlight an EFC affiliate to pray for. Intercede International seeks to establish, encourage, and strengthen an indigenous, New Testament witness for our Lord Jesus Christ among all nations by providing material and spiritual aid to Christians who are impoverished, few, or persecuted; and to encourage Christian witness and ministry to the international community in Canada.

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