Ongoing prayer for the DRC

Pray for an end to the violence in eastern DRC. Ask God to bring peace and for people to be able to return safely to their homes and lives. Lift up all those who have faced the loss of loved ones, belongings, homes and livelihoods. Ask God to give them comfort and provide for them. Pray for Tearfund staff, partners and their families. Ask God to protect them and allow them to continue to work safely.

Delayed elections in South Sudan

Pray for South Sudan, where the presidential election was postponed last year to 2026 and the country continues to be divided and affected by widespread violence, armed attacks and humanitarian emergencies. Peace talks have resumed, called Tumaini, which means ‘hope’ in Swahili. We hope and pray that the talks will reach resolutions and bring sustainable solutions, unity and reconciliation for South Sudan.

Restoration of peace in Bangladesh

Lift up the people of Bangladesh. You may recall we asked for prayer in August last year after mass protests and violence broke out across the country. Last week, thousands of protestors vandalised and set fire to the former family home of deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina. Pray for peace to be restored and for protection over our local staff, partners and people we serve.
