Pray + Moms & Babies

Use this simple four-week guide to lead you through praying for this need

Written by: Compassion Canada


When you were learning about moms and babies, you would have seen just how critical it is to meet their needs in order for them to thrive. Whenever the need is great, we need people to pray.  

Set aside some time for four weeks to pray for this need and the mothers and babies in poverty around the world. We have included prayer points for each of the four weeks that follow along with the themes you learned about and the content you can share with others. We know that your prayers influence the heart of God to move on behalf of babies and their caregivers—what incredible impact prayer has!
