The Anglicare prayer

Almighty God, giver of light and life, send your salvation through all the world.
Keep us mindful of the needs of others
and help us to be wise stewards of all you have entrusted to us.
Bless ANGLICARE and bless all who serve in its fellowship.
May there always be a glad and prayerful response to appeals made for the work.
Guide us to those who need our help, and grant us the power of your Holy Spirit to love and serve you at all times,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Prayer for CMS

God of love, whose will it is that everyone should be saved,
bless the Church Missionary Society
and those who have gone out in its fellowship
to preach, to teach and to heal.
Guard, guide and use them;
raise up more people in your worldwide church
to pray and to work,
to care and to understand,
to give to you and to go for you,
that your church may grow,
your will be done,
your kingdom come,
and your glory be revealed:
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
Amen.

The BCA Prayer

Lord our God, help us to remember those who live in isolated and remote parts of our land.
We ask you to strengthen and encourage all whose ministries are supported by The Bush Church Aid Society.
Refresh them in times of discouragement and loneliness and call others to stand with them in the task of making Christ known.
Grant that, through the ministry of the Word and Sacraments, through caring service and by support for young people, the message of your redeeming love may be proclaimed and accepted by the people of our land. We ask these things through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
