Pray for African Diaspora prayer guide

This guide focuses on areas to help you and your church pray for the African diaspora living in the UK and Europe. “Pray for…” is designed to enrich your prayer life and help you engage more deeply with various topics.

Also Included: The UK government recently announced the Rwanda Asylum Plan. Under this plan, some asylum seekers who cross the Channel to the UK will be given a one-way ticket to Rwanda, with the pilot scheme focusing on single men arriving on boats or lorries. This resource also includes a number of prayers to help you reflect and pray for those effected by this new plan.

Plans are well advanced for the 5th East Midlands Outreach week which will be taking place from 2nd – 10th August this year. We are recruiting for the week in partnership with Reach Across, another organization similar to Borderless, and it will be one of their members who leads the week. Pray for the Lord to assemble the right team for this work and for all the plans to come together smoothly.

Pray for the work amongst the African Diaspora in Finland. The AIM team are forming a multicultural Gospel-centered community. As a community, they regularly engage with Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, and Catholics. Pray that those who came to the Easter Sunday gathering would want to know the risen Jesus. Pray for the deepening of these relationships. Thank the Lord that some come to the team asking for practical help, for example with the Finnish language, or understanding Finnish traffic laws and signs, and sometimes with deeper issues.

Earlier this month a small team was finalizing plans for this year’s East Midlands Community Outreach Week (August 2nd to 10th). Please pray for the Lord’s help in preparation for this gospel opportunity. Pray too for the development of an internet/social media ministry aimed at people from the Horn and North Africa who have settled in the UK. This is being undertaken by a group of people from different churches and one of our Borderless team members is involved.

How should we pray for ourselves and others? Every day our staff, and the pastors and missionaries who join us, hear an opening prayer shaped by Luke 10:2. ‘The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.’
