Missional Prayers

How you can Pray for ABM and our partners

ABM’s 175th Anniversary Prayer

Loving God,
Friend of this ancient and beautiful land;
land we call home, land that calls us home.
Bless the Anglican Board of Mission
as we participate in your healing work.
We honour our history.
We repent of our failings.
We commit to your future.
May we nurture relationships of love.
May we craft stories of hope.
May we contribute to communities of justice.
Grant us the wisdom to hear your voice,
the courage to follow where you lead,
the humility to listen to those we encounter.
May we be blessed by those we Partner with,
and be a blessing to them.
We ask these things in the names of the three that are one.
Creator, Redeemer, Companion.

Amen.

Prayer for the Anglican Board of Mission

God of all,
bless the Anglican Board of Mission
as it serves the Church in Australia
and our partner churches overseas.

Inspire its work and its vision
that all may come to know your justice,
your peace and your love;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

(A Prayer Book for Australia, p 214)

A Resource for Daily Prayers

A new prayer resource titled Praying for Love, Hope and Justice will be released in late March, ready for April. The new prayer diary will include all our activity partners and programs plus other areas of ABM’s work. We will share other prayer requests throughout the year.

We appreciate your patience and understanding. Your prayers for us as we work to finalise this resource are appreciated.

In the meantime, we invite you to continue praying with us through March using the list of partners and programs below. Your prayers make a real difference, and we are deeply grateful for your ongoing support.

Thank you once again for standing with ABM in God’s mission of love, hope, and justice.
