Praying for Spurgeons

Spurgeons is one of the UK’s largest Christian charities working with children, young people and families. With numerous projects in the UK and overseas, they are committed to professional social work as a practical expression of their Christian faith. Which means, put simply, they are in the business of changing lives - for good. Their work would be impossible without the support of individuals and churches, and the partnership of local authorities, trusts and companies. Because each of their projects is rooted in its local community, every one of them is different.

Spurgeons focuses its work in three core areas: Working with children and young people in disadvantaged communities, working with children and young people with disrupted lives, working with children and young people from marginalized Groups. From giving children in care in the UK a voice in their own future, to supporting AIDS orphans in Africa, Spurgeons exists to create opportunities for vulnerable children and young people to find hope and transformation now and fulfilment in their future.

Praying for the Bible Society

The Bible Society exists because millions lack the Bible in a language they can understand, in a form they can use or at a price they can afford. At the same time millions still have no understanding of the Bible’s value for them and their communities. This is referred to as ‘Bible poverty’. The Bible Society are working to see a day when the Bible’s God-given revelation, inspiration and wisdom is shaping the lives and communities of people everywhere.

To think about:

  • More than 4,400 languages still wait for even one book of the Bible.
  • Though a billion people can’t read, only 3 per cent of languages have the Bible in audio.
  • Every 5 seconds, someone goes blind but the complete Braille Bible exists in only 35 languages.
  • In our own country the Bible is no longer a point of reference for everyday life.
  • Christians often lack the confidence to apply the Bible’s message in a society that increasingly sees it as irrelevant.

Dear God, we pray for guidance so that, in fast-moving times, the Bible Society can respond to new challenges and opportunities in whatever way you are calling them to.
