Refugees, asylum seekers and those who have been forcibly displaced from their homes need our prayers. They have been forced to leave their communities, extended family, their country, their heritage and everything that is familiar to them.

Many refugees are contacting churches all across Canada looking for a church family who will sponsor them. I encourage you to keep a list of those people and to pray for them specifically - by name.

Alternatively, I have a list of people for congregations to pray for by name. If you're willing to connect via email, you can encourage them directly.

More than anything, our world today needs people who will pray. Global unrest, wars, ongoing situations that are creating even more refugees are all far too large and complex for us to solve. It is only by the merciful intervention of our kind, compassionate and holy God that any long-term solutions will be found. And while the unrest continues, we have water to offer those who are thirsty.

If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

Thank you for praying!
