Prayers

Prayer runs through the heart of our work. It sustains us when we face tough situations in the places where we work.

Below are some of the things that we at Samaritan’s Purse are praying for – please join us in praying for these things too.

You can even sign up to our Twitter prayer feed, and get prayers sent to your email inbox or mobile phone.

We hope you'll join with us in praying for the people and places in our world who need our prayers.

Emergencies & Disasters

Pray for the millions of families and children affected by the severe famine in East Africa. Pray for wisdom for the Government leaders in Ethiopia and Kenya and for the aid agencies, including Samaritan's Purse, as they work to bring relief to children and families in need.

In Ethiopia: Praise God for the 600,000 women and children who are already benefiting from Samaritan’s Purse emergency aid and pray that we will be able to provide food and water to many more.

In Kenya: Praise God that some farmers have received livestock from Samaritan’s Purse that are better equipped to survive droughts and pray that Samaritan’s Purse will be able to provide livestock, seeds and fertilizer to many more farmers who are in urgent need so that they can provide food for their families.

Operation Christmas Child

Give thanks that so many churches from different denominations and traditions have been brought together this year. Let’s pray that this would continue and that next year churches would again come together in prayer, in wrapping, packing, sending, and delivering.

Water and Sanitation

Please pray for our water partners. Pray that God would give them great perseverance and strength to continue the vital work that they do and for the families and communities who are receiving clean water. Pray that they would understand that Samaritan’s Purse works to help them because they are valued children of God.

HIV and AIDS

Pray for the churches we have begun working with, that they would be trained and inspired to care for all those who are suffering because of HIV and AIDS. Pray that as they reach out to those suffering with HIV and AIDs they would in turn be renewed with new joy and strength.

Livelihoods

Give thanks for all the goats, mature hens and other livelihood gifts that have been bought this Christmas. Pray for the families receiving them that they would know that each gift comes with love from individuals who care deeply for their situation.
