Migrants have arrived at the Crowborough camp, and our church is able to run services for the Christians among them. The local mosque has already conducted services and left a book table for the residents. Today our church will hold a service, and books from Elam and others will be set out. Please pray for this new mission field.

Praise God for our new and long-term supporters, volunteers, prayer warriors, supporting churches and trusts for sustaining us. Pray that the Lord will open doors to develop more relationships with Partner Churches. Pray that church visits by our Regional Managers and Scripture Readers will be an encouragement to all who attend, and that churches will engage and feel moved to support SASRA as our Scripture Readers bring the gospel ‘behind the wire’ of Army and RAF bases.

Ron's new book on Christ BC. It tracks Christ from the time of creation, Christ of the Gospels and Christ at work from the resurrection till today globally and contextually goes to press this week.

Pray that the clear move of God's Spirit among young people in the UK will translate into many committing to serve as mission workers where Christ is least-known.

Please pray for the trainees across the UK who are participating in events. This includes face to face trainings in Manchester, Wolverhampton, Perth, Glasgow and online from Belfast. Pray people would join from Churches that don’t currently reach out to their neighbours of different faiths. There is a particular Sikh community in one of the training areas. Pray for the trialling of the AM materials within this community and all faith backgrounds. That confidence in the Gospel would grow deeper, falling in love with Jesus afresh and in His Gospel message to all nations - both near and far

This week, we pray for our UK charity shops and Ecommerce teams. The shops help to underpin all of our activity supporting vulnerable children living in poverty. Pray for: - new volunteers at the Radford and Bulkington shops, and Ecommerce team, giving thanks for our existing volunteers - a continued supply of good donations of preloved items and strong footfall at the shops - strong sales growth for our stock on digital platforms including eBay and Vinted - encouragement and energy for the shop and ecommerce managers.

Pray for 2:19 Teach to Reach, supporting UK churches in welcoming the nations locally through English conversation classes/cafés and providing quality teaching and Bible materials.

Pray for all upcoming events and services that our Scripture Readers will plan and run over the Easter period ‘behind the wire’ of Army and RAF bases. May the Lord equip the Scripture Readers to share the gospel and may serving personnel seek to find out more about the love and sacrifice of Jesus.

2026 marks the 125th anniversary of the Dohnavur Fellowship, when Amy Carmichael welcomed the first child into her arms, since then they Fellowship has been a home to hundreds of children, and the books and poems written by Amy has affected countless people around the world. Please pray for the continued work of the Dohnavur Fellowship, and all the special events planned both in India and the UK, that they would attract new supporters and donors to this work.

Pray for 2:19 Teach to Reach who support UK churches encouraging them to embrace the nations locally through English language teaching and outreach. Give thanks that we are still able to share freely about God in UK; that seeds planted in learners’ hearts at Christmas outreach events will be watered; that language barriers would be broken to share the gospel further; give thanks for new church contacts from recent events and pray for energy, capacity and financial provision for staff in meeting the needs of as many churches and learners as possible.

Pray for our Scripture Readers, Headquarters staff and SASRA supporters as they start 2026. May they seek the Lord in all that they do to help bring the gospel ‘behind the wire’ to Army and RAF personnel this year. May the Lord sustain the Association in 2026, through supporter prayer, volunteering and funding, so that we can reach more troops with the gospel. May the Lord prepare the hearts of serving personnel at the start of this new year.
