Join us in praying for churches across Canada, across denomination lines, across political encampments and into the hearts of congregants where Christ has torn down the dividing wall of hostility and forged us into a people of missional purpose with Christ as the chief cornerstone.

Focal Scripture: ‍

In Him, the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in Him, you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by His Spirit. Ephesians 2:21-22 (NIV)

Heavenly Father,

We thank You for the transforming work You continue to do through Your Church across Canada. Thank You for the congregations, pastors, elders, ministry leaders, volunteers, and faithful believers who serve You in communities from coast to coast.

We pray for an awakening within Your Church. Sharpen our spiritual senses and align our hearts with Your purposes, that we would be attentive to Your leading and surrendered to Your will alone. Fill us with the unity of Your Spirit and draw us deeper into loving obedience to Christ.

Lord, we humbly repent of the idols that so easily distract us. Forgive us when entertainment replaces devotion, when complacency dulls our passion, and when rote tradition becomes routine rather than a means of drawing near to You. Purify Your people and renew in us a genuine hunger to know You, worship You, and glorify Your name.

Restore to us a biblical vision of worship that is centered on Your holiness and grace. Teach us again the beauty of servanthood, that we might follow the example of Jesus, who came

not to be served but to serve. Form in us hearts that delight in humility, sacrifice, and faithful obedience.

Father, we thank You for the Church across Canada and for the diverse ways it reflects Your love and truth. Thank You for churches that proclaim the gospel, disciple believers, care for the vulnerable, welcome newcomers, support families, and shine the light of Christ in their communities. We ask You to strengthen and encourage every congregation that faithfully serves Your Kingdom.

Raise up a new generation of pastors, missionaries, church planters, evangelists, disciple-makers, and ministry leaders. We pray for a call of men and women of faith and courage to serve both locally and globally. Empower Your people to use their gifts for Kingdom advancement so that the good news of Jesus may reach those who have never heard and those who have yet to respond.

We ask for Your guidance as SIM Canada continues its commitment in partnering with Churches and serving where Christ is least known. Bless our staff, global workers, and ministry partners as they journey alongside local churches, helping to prepare, send, support, and care for those called to missions.

May Your Church in Canada be united in purpose, faithful in witness, and bold in proclaiming Christ until every people and community has the opportunity to know You, serve You, and live in You.

In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
