Prayer Requests
November 2026
“How wonderful it is, how pleasant, for God's people to live together in harmony!”
Psalm 133:1, Good News Translation
-
Dear Lord, we pray that the Canadian Baptists of Atlantic Canada's New Pastors Orientation event tomorrow in New Brunswick will be both an encouragement and inspiration to all participants. Equip them, in the spirit of Ephesians 4:12, for the work of ministry and the building up of the body of Christ.
-
Dear Lord, we pray with our sisters in every nation this Baptist Women’s World Day of Prayer, that we would experience the joy of proclaiming the Good News in word and deed. Unite us around living our faith in action.
-
Dear Lord, we pray for the Baptist Women of North America, already at work planning a Rooted Together event in Texas October 20-23, 2027. We pray for a powerful time of worship, learning and meaningful connections. May they be grounded in God's Word, nurtured in community, committed to justice, and held in God’s enduring love.
-
Dear Lord, we pray for Laura Muema, Program and SENT Coordinator for CBM in Africa, based in Nairobi, Kenya. May she, her husband Kennedy Mumanyi, and their three daughters, experience a season of blessing, as she works to serve alongside the Africa team in the areas of family ministries, social support for vulnerable children, gender equity, and empowering women.
-
Dear Lord, we pray with Laura for the Canadian SENT teams, asking You to guide, provide for, and protect them as they serve in the field. We pray that You grant them wisdom, good health, unity, and strength as they minister to the communities they visit.
-
Dear Lord, we pray with Laura for protection and mercy as the current Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo threatens to spread to neighboring countries. This has put many lives at risk and resulted in travel restrictions, making it difficult to carry out ministry and partner support across parts of East Africa.
-
Dear Lord, we pray with Laura for strong and healthy relationships with CBM partners, their leadership teams, pastors and clergy, and project staff in Africa. We pray that You will grant the CBM Africa team wisdom, unity, mutual trust, and effective communication as they work together in ministry. May their partnerships be marked by love, respect, and a shared commitment to serving communities faithfully and effectively.
-
(Sunday) Repeat prayer from yesterday.
-
Dear Lord, we pray for the Canadian Foodgrains Bank. In cooperation with the Canadian government, they have launched a new program in the Philippines to help 15,000 farmers build climate resilience and reduce disaster risk. May your grace and peace accompany these efforts.
-
Dear Lord, we join our CBM brothers and sisters in praying for rain in East Africa as the prolonged summer continues. As dry conditions are increasing the risk of hunger and famine in some communities and could affect the January harvest, we pray that the rains will come in the right amount to sustain farmers’ efforts to grow food.
-
(Remembrance Day) Dear Lord, today we remember those who fought and continue to fight to protect Canadian freedom. We thank you for those who paid the ultimate sacrifice that we may freely share the Good News of your Kingdom soon to come.
-
Dear Lord, we thank you that Laura Muema was able to participate this March in both the Nairobi Accord Gathering (an agreed affiliation of all African partners and CBM) and the CBM Africa Team Retreat in Kigali, Rwanda. These gatherings provided valuable opportunities for her to connect with colleagues and partners, celebrate ministry achievements, discuss challenges, pray together, and plan strategically for the future of CBM’s ministry across Africa. May those plans come to fruition.
-
Dear Lord, we pray for the Canadian Pro-life Coalition, reporting that health practitioners are now being trained how to end patient life upon request through the injection of poisonous drugs (known as MAID). Bring hope and healing to those who feel that this is their only option. May they find the community support and help they need to live meaningful, pain-free lives.
-
Dear Father, we continue our prayer from yesterday with a request for our shut-in and ill neighbours. As the winter season draws near, their isolation may become unbearable. May You lead us into friendship and care for these precious community members.
-
(Sunday) Repeat prayer from yesterday.
16. Dear Lord, we thank You that about 72 percent of the population in the Ivory Coast now have electricity and that health and social safety net programs are expanding as well. We pray they will get better access to water and that employment opportunities for youth will strengthen.
17. God, we pray for CBM partner Kabuganaan Philippine Ministries (KPM) as they care for preschool children facing illness and support scholarship students through their education.
18. Dear Lord, we pray that relief efforts in Colombia after the August earthquake will continue to improve delivery of essential services. Again, may your grace uphold Christians involved in this effort.
19. Dear Lord, we pray for Tibet and Nepal where overwhelming floods from a breakaway glacier descended without mercy on much of the population this past September. We pray that as rescue efforts continue, your grace and strength will be evident to all. Two Baptist churches were destroyed along with several others.
20. Dear Lord, we pray for the semi-nomadic Garre Oromo people in northern Kenya, identifying almost exclusively as Muslim. God sees them moving across the landscape in search of sustenance for their families. Pray that they will encounter sustained spiritual sustenance in Christ.
21. Dear Lord, we pray for the Persians in Turkey. Persecuted and oppressed, they remain in dire need of the Gospel, as identified by the Joshua Project.
22. (Sunday) Repeat prayer from yesterday.
23. Dear Lord, we pray for Baptist World Aid as they support the Nepal Baptist Church Council and the Colombian Baptist denomination. They are working directly with Baptist church partners to continue providing emergency assistance to flood and earthquake victims. Every gift is making a difference.
24. Dear Lord, we continue to pray for CBM’s partner in Nepal, who is responding to the catastrophic flash floods that hit communities near Tibet on August 26. Bless them as they help people rebuild while meeting urgent needs.
25. Dear Lord, we pray for our Baptist World Partners in Ghana. Armed robbers attacked a group of young people not long ago. They were on their way to attend a Baptist youth camp. We pray for God's comfort as one young lady was killed and others injured. We pray that their attackers, by God's mercy, may be saved.
26. Dear Lord, we pray for our Baptist partners in Nigeria as well, seeking resources for missions in Burkina Faso. We pray for continued perseverance in the face of severe violence and persecution.
27. Dear Lord, since 2021, more than 130 churches across Canada have been vandalized, torched or burned to the ground. We pray that these acts of vandalism will not become normalized and ignored. We humbly ask for your protection of all Christian communities and that perpetrators will be brought to justice and to the knowledge of your abundant grace.
28. Dear Lord, we pray for the Baptist churches in Argentina that believers may build social dialogue based on respect, truth, listening, and other values of the Gospel. May they become instruments of peace and reconciliation.
29. (Sunday) Repeat prayer from yesterday.
30. Father, we pray for the strengthening and ministries of churches across Paraguay, especially those without pastors. We pray for the calling and sending of new workers, and the growth of evangelism and discipleship ministries.
