The focus of GBM’s 2025 Week of Prayer is South America and Africa. These regions include some areas where the gospel is making significant progress and churches are growing strongly, and others where the picture is much darker and Chris tians face significant opposition. Yet whatever the circumstances faced by our missionaries and those they serve, we are called to pray: ‘Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise… The effective prayer of a righteous person has great power’ (James 5:13, 16b)—‘praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication… keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints’ (Ephesians 6:18). Praying for our brothers and sisters in the world wide church is a duty, but also a great privilege. Please join with GBM during their Week of Prayer—Sunday 8 to Sunday 15 June—to pray for some of the missionaries and their ministries in South America and Africa. Each day will focus on the work of different missionary(s). Each day there will be a Zoom prayer meeting with the missionary(s)

  • Monday, 9 June 1:00pm – Theo & Sonja Donner in Medellín, Colombia

22 Years…. (thought for June 2025)

June 2, 2025

22 years. That’s how long ago Joseph’s brothers sold him to Midianite traders passing by (Genesis 37:25). This was after they had grown tired of listening to his dreams, of seeing their father lavish his love on him. They wanted to kill him, but they saw greater benefit in selling him. Then, they covered the [...]

May 11, 2025

What do you “seek”? (Thought for March 2025)

March 4, 2025

A few thoughts on Matthew 6:25–34
I would like to share with you a few thoughts I have been mulling over in my morning meditations in Matthew’s Gospel. Jesus speaks of two activities in the passage before us: worrying and seeking. These two are closely connected, as weird as that may sound at [...]
