Pray for people throughout Ireland as they reflect on the year that has past. Pray that they will know that God has been with them through all the difficult times of 2020. Pray too that they will put their faith and hope in Jesus Christ for the future.


Mission Ireland
As the new year begins, pray that the Holy Spirit will speak to those who do not yet know
the Lord and that they will turn to him. Pray too for encouragement for all involved in mission.
