Jesus said, “‘As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples…’” (John 13: 34-35). Jesus demonstrated this in his value and love for the most vulnerable in his society. Keeping each other safe is a fundamental way that we can demonstrate and share Jesus’ love.
SUNDAY 24
At BMS World Mission we work alongside some of the most vulnerable people in the world. Please pray that we would ensure all those who come into contact with us feel safe and valued, whether that be overseas, in the UK, online, in person, or by telephone.
MONDAY 25
Safeguarding is an English word not easily translated into other languages. Pray for our mission workers as they seek to support their partners in safeguarding, that they would find the right vocabulary in the local language for mutual understanding.
TUESDAY 26
Please pray for the development of awareness and good safeguarding practices. Ask God to provide the right people and resources to increase the knowledge and skills of BMS workers
and partners.
WEDNESDAY 27
Pray for safe spaces where conversations about safeguarding can happen. Pray for those who have something they need to share, and for wisdom for the safeguarding team.
THURSDAY 28
Pray for the European Baptist Federation as they support displaced people – one of the groups most at risk. May these people find physical safety and spiritual rest as the love of Christ is shared with them.
FRIDAY 29
We remember today that for our sake Jesus experienced humiliation, pain and even death on a cross. He showed compassion and forgiveness to the end: may all who work for and with BMS follow his example.
SATURDAY 30
Give thanks for our Asia safeguarding champion Louise Lynch, who supports safeguarding in different cultural contexts.
