Prayer wall
What our partners are asking prayer for
Specific requests from specific places. Pray for named people and particular obstacles rather than in generalities — it is easier to hold in mind and harder to forget.
About these requests
The requests below are representative placeholder content written for this website. They describe the kinds of thing our partners ask prayer for, grouped by the illustrative regions elsewhere on this site.
Real requests will replace them. We never publish identifiable personal details without consent, and we do not publish anything from a reconciliation or safeguarding process.

How we handle prayer requests
A prayer request is often the most private thing someone will share with an organisation, and we treat it accordingly.
We ask before publishing. Nothing appears on this wall without the consent of the person or community it concerns, and consent can be withdrawn.
We generalise or withhold where publishing would cause harm. In several contexts where our partners serve, naming a community or a Christian leader publicly would put people at real risk. Those requests reach the prayer team in a form that protects them, or not at all.
We never publish anything from a reconciliation, trauma healing or safeguarding process. Confidentiality is a condition of that work being possible.
We report answers, including disappointing ones. An organisation that only reports answered prayer is not being honest about what prayer is actually like.
“Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfil the law of Christ.”
Receive these as they arrive
The prayer team gets requests by email, including urgent ones, with answers reported back.
