Please pray specifically for:

• The many newcomers here in Canada and those yet to arrive. Pray for divine encounters with Christians and opportunities for discipleship. Pray for their needs to be met, fears dissipated, and God's great love to bring hope and family as they form new communities.
• As the cost of living has sky-rocketed, especially within the urban communities in which most SIM workers are serving across Canada. Pray for God’s provision for SIM workers as they trust the Lord for the increased financial support they need.
• Many SIM workers use ESL (English as a Second Language) teaching as an effective approach to reach the lost. Pray the seed of the Gospel will find good ground in many hearts throughout these ministries.

God, we give great thanks for the many newcomers in Canada seeking new beginnings in their lives, many in a land so unfamiliar to them. We recognize some are fleeing from dire situations, while others have arrived under different circumstances. Lord, we ask for your help to meet them - right where they are at; clothed in your kindness, hospitable as they adapt to their new surroundings, and understanding of their needs. We pray for abundant opportunities to share your great love through our actions and through your Word. We pray in your Holy name, Jesus. Amen.
