Pray that it will be possible to hold more Shalom camps in Sri Lanka, funded by Release, where Christians can come together for spiritual refreshment and mutual encouragement.

Pray for wisdom, stamina and grace for Release partners in Sri Lanka as they work to comfort families who have been bereaved and to provide medical assistance.

'Let us be on the side of those who sit in jails and are sentenced to death for their faith. Let us pray for them and help them'.
