Since the arrival of the de facto government in 2021, the work performed by international organisations in Afghanistan, including BMS’ local partner, has been hit by bans targeting the participation of women and girls in public life. This week, we lift up this troubled nation to the Lord.
SUNDAY 24
Pray that the de facto government will be moved by compassion and will fully identify with the Afghan people’s many needs. May the government promote a climate of freedom instead of oppression and fear, mercy instead of inhumane bans, and forgiveness instead of hate.
MONDAY 25
Pray for the security situation in Afghanistan and for physical safety for BMS’ local partner staff, their families and those served through their work. Pray especially for safe travel in their
daily commutes.
TUESDAY 26
Lift up BMS’ local partner’s distribution of food and basic supplies to support the poorest families while they wait for the agricultural season. Pray that the rainy season will be on time and the harvest will be plentiful.
WEDNESDAY 27
Pray for physical and spiritual protection for BMS worker Ruby. Pray that her agricultural work produces not just food to sustain a family’s physical needs, but fruits of hope for a better future.
THURSDAY 28
Remember Afghan women and girls who are stuck at home, banned from primary, secondary and university education. Pray that they will soon be able to resume their studies.
FRIDAY 29
Lift up BMS workers Arthur and Reeta as they continue learning the language and culture. Pray for strong local friendships, and that they will experience God’s presence in all they do.
SATURDAY 30
Pray for the leaders of BMS’ local partner. Ask God to grant them protection, freedom, wisdom, creativity and the resources needed to continue supporting those living in poverty.
