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.

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 for physical and relational healing after a generation of civil war. There is resurgent tension between Tamil and Sinhalese Sri Lankans especially because of the Easter 2019 bombings in Sri Lanka.

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.

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.

To our knowledge there is no indigenous Somali church in the GTA. Pray that Somali disciples be made so that a Somali church community appears.

Pray for the 50+ Somali believers living in the GTA that they will be faithful disciples and witness to their extended families & community.

Lord, raise up labourers among Somalis in the GTA to share the gospel, disciple believers, and start churches.

Lord, help existing Christians become more aware of Somalis in their community. Help Christians overcome fear, self interest, and negative thoughts toward Somalis.
