Canada: the home of hockey, winter snow, hot summers, and a culture that values tolerance and diversity. This week join us in praying for SGM Canada as it works with and seeks to equip the Canadian church to raise a distinctive voice – and to reach local communities with the Bible’s life words.
- Praise God for the success of the latest SGM Lifewords Christmas resource, The Ultimate Gift – created especially for Canada. Nearly 40,000 copies flew out the door travelling across Canada for use in local churches and communities. Many Salvation Army corps used The Ultimate Gift at their Christmas kettle drive (a traditional street collection). Please pray that those who received it might accept Christ as their ultimate gift.
- Lawson Murray, National Director of SGM Canada has written a range of inspirational books, including iConnect and iBelieve. These new initiatives were developed to encourage people to engage with the scriptures on a daily basis. Pray that they would be widely used and that those who read the books will be inspired to grow more in their faith.
- SGM Canada is currently working on a new Inspire resource, responding to the needs of individuals and communities struggling with financial loss and insecurity. Pray it will be a useful resource for those searching for meaning in the context of ongoing global economic crisis and change.
