This week:
Family & Education

Jesus Christ has authority over everything in heaven and earth. He gives authority to kings, prime ministers and presidents but he also gives it to mothers and fathers.

Strong, loving families that disciple children to follow Christ are a blessing to the nation.

Our second week of Hope for our Nation sees us praying for families and education.

What do strong families and Christian education really look like? Watch this week's short videos for a vision of what a better Christian future could look like:

Pray with us

  • 2 Mar

    Give thanks for God's gift of marriage. Pray that its real meaning would be upheld and that more men and women would commit to one another in marriage and remain faithful to their vows.

  • 3 Mar

    Give thanks for the joy of children and the example of faith that they are to us. Pray that we would not treat them as commodities but as those made in God's image and seek to raise them in safe, nurturing families.

  • 4 Mar

    Give thanks for the unique ways that families can bring glory to God and love their neighbours. Pray that by strengthening families, they would be able to minister to others whose families are absent or neglectful.

  • 5 Mar

    Give thanks for how Christians in the past have pioneered education and schools. Pray for new Christian schools and learning centres to have the people and funding they need to thrive.

  • 6 Mar

    Give thanks for Christian universities that have in the past been beacons of learning and excellence. Pray that many of them will return to their Christian roots and that initiatives like Selden College would grow and flourish.

  • 7 Mar

    Give thanks for Christian chaplaincies in schools as well as prisons and hospitals. Pray that chaplains would be free to bring God's wisdom and insightful pastoral care to their institutions.

  • 8 Mar

    Give thanks for the ways apprenticeships and technical colleges give young people opportunities to develop their skills. Pray that Christian tradespeople will be raised to serve their communities with diligence and excellence.
