Ukraine

Almost one year since Russian troops first crossed the line into Ukraine, pray for peace to return to this nation. Pray for justice. Pray for a change of heart in the Russian regime. Pray for the many thousands whose lives have been devasted by this war.

Nigeria

More than 2million were forced out of the their homes by flooding at the end of last year. Pray for all those seeking to rebuild their shattered lives in this poor nation, and for aid and help from the wider community and world.

Peru

Peruvian politics has been mired in dysfunction for years. Leaders are not allowed more than one term which has resulted in inexperienced people trying to govern in a very complex environment. Corruption, rioting and mistrust have all also played their parts. Pray for wise reforms of the system and for godly leaders in this nation to lead with justice, vision, strength, and humility.

New Zealand

As thousands in and around Auckland begin the clean up after devasting floods and landslides, pray for safety, strength and services to help those in greatest need and who have been made homeless by the deluge.

National and local 

Pray for all levels of government to lead with integrity and wisdom, and to use the many resources we have for the good of all people. This week we focus on the federal level and pray for the Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and our local member Lisa Chesters as well as all members of federal parliament.

Pray that our sporting fields will be a safe place for all people to enjoy without bullying or intimidating behaviour.

Pray for those suffering from drug addiction – for an end to the spiral they are caught in and for a new sense of hope and security.

Pray for our emergency services who often work in traumatic situations and for long hours. 

Pray for our retail industry and the valuable role they play in our local community.
