Ask God to use believers trained in various tools for outreach to Buddhists (e.g., Global Gates Canada’s “Engaging the Nations” booklet, or the “15 Days of Prayer for Buddhists” tool) to find & befriend Sri Lankan Sinhalese Buddhists and share life & the good news of Jesus with them.
Pray for non-Sri Lankans believers and churches in GTA to become burdened about the lost state of so many thousands of GTA Sri Lankan Sinhalese so that they get into the gospel harvest.
Pray that GTA’s Sri Lankan Sinhalese Christians will become champions to address lostness among another near- or even far-culture people groups from South Asia living in GTA.
Pray that GTA’s Sri Lankan Sinhalese Christians will become more involved and more intentional in evangelism efforts to their own people group in GTA.
Lord, lead Christians to Somalis who are searching for Jesus. Lord, lead churches in Etobicoke to pray for, and minister among, the Somali community.
May these Christians learn to effectively communicate the gospel using existing resources in the Somali language.
Lord, help existing Christians become more aware of Somalis in their community. Help Christians overcome fear, self interest, and negative thoughts toward Somalis.
Lord, raise up labourers among Somalis in the GTA to share the gospel, disciple believers, and start churches.
Pray for followers of Jesus to open their homes in a ministry of hospitality and safety for Somalis
Pray for trusting relationships and friendship between followers of Jesus and Somalis.
