Prayer Support

We cordially invite you to pray, as Christ did, for vulnerable and needy people.

  • Pray for Emergency Relief

    Last update: April 2020

    COVID-19 has developed into a global pandemic. For many developing countries – where water supply is unstable, medical and hygiene equipment is on low supply and living conditions are basic – to adopt such preventive measures and hygiene management strategies are extra challenging. Things are even worse in refugee camps, where a shortage of resources means that their inhabitants are especially susceptible to be infected.

    Please pray for the vulnerable children and families affected by COVID-19:

    • Pray for full recovery for over a million of people around the world that are currently infected with the virus and for comfort and peace for the many people who have lost their loved ones.
    • Pray that the love of Jesus Christ will drive out fear from all people around the world. May God protect medical personnel on the frontline from contracting the virus.
    • Pray for wisdom for those working to find a vaccine. May God lead world leaders and medical units to bring hope and help to the suffering children and their families living under the threat of virus.
    • May God lead the work of World Vision and other agencies, bring in the necessary resources, and protect children and families.

As of now, over 920,000 people, mostly Rohingyas, are stuck in the world’s largest refugee camp in Cox’s Bazar in Bangladesh, not knowing when to return home.
