Pray with Tearfund

Pray for Ethiopia as it faces multiple challenges. Recent clashes at the Kenya-Ethiopia border have left over 20 people missing. A 6.0 magnitude earthquake has caused damage and fear. Additionally, a cholera outbreak in the Amhara region has resulted in over 160 cases and several deaths. Pray for peace and safety for those affected by the conflict, comfort and recovery for those impacted by the earthquake, and healing and resources to combat the cholera outbreak. May God’s presence bring hope and restoration to all in need.

Pray for the DR Congo as it endures severe conflict in its eastern regions. Since January 2025, fighting has resulted in over 7,000 deaths and displaced approximately 450,000 people. The M23 rebels, reportedly supported by Rwanda, have captured significant territory, including the regional capital of Goma. This violence has led to tragic incidents, such as the attack on El Fasher’s only functional hospital, resulting in numerous civilian casualties. Pray for peace and protection for all affected, especially the vulnerable children facing violence and displacement. Additionally, pray for the safety and well-being of our local partner working tirelessly in the region. May God’s peace prevail in the DR Congo.

Pray for India as it faces significant humanitarian challenges. In Manipur, ongoing conflicts have displaced approximately 58,000 people, forcing them into relief camps, with thousands more seeking refuge in neighboring states. Additionally, a recent major fire in Mumbai’s Nagarmodi Pada slum area destroyed numerous homes, leaving many families without shelter. Pray for peace and safety for those affected by conflict, comfort and provision for families who have lost their homes, and for effective measures to address environmental challenges.

Pray for Kenya as it deals with ongoing humanitarian challenges, including a significant rise in food insecurity due to prolonged drought affecting many regions. The government and local organizations are working hard to provide aid to those in need, but many communities are still struggling. We thank God for the recent award from MCIC that our local partner Fadhili Trust received recognizing our partnership in empowering women in Kenya. Pray for the safety and well-being of our local partner as we continue this important work together. May God’s strength and provision surround all those who are vulnerable.

Pray for South Sudan as it faces ongoing challenges from conflict and humanitarian crises, with reports indicating that over 7 million people are in urgent need of food assistance due to severe hunger and instability. Many families have been displaced, struggling to find safe shelter and basic necessities. Pray for our local partner working in the region, as they strive to provide vital support and resources to those in need. May God’s peace and hope bring comfort to those affected during this difficult time.

Pray for us here in Tearfund Canada, as we conduct final interviews for the finance manager position this week. Pray for God’s guidance to help us find the right candidate who aligns with our mission. Additionally, pray for our leaders as they meet to discuss our strategic plan, so that they may have wisdom and clarity in their decisions. May God’s direction be evident in all our actions as we seek to follow Jesus where the need is greatest.
