• Pray for Australia Territory

1 day ago3 min read

Each week throughout 2025, Salvationists around the world are uniting in prayer for a particular territory or region of The Salvation Army.

The focus territory/region shares prayer requests to help us pray with precision and power for one another.

This week (24-30 March] we are praying for the Australia Territory.

The Australia Territory has 1525 officers (624 active, 901 retired); aux-lieutenants 54; envoys 12; cadets 9; employees 8899; corps 286; societies and outposts 8; senior soldiers 12,072; adherents 3796; junior soldiers 1530.

Pray for the Australia Territory

Led and inspired by our Territorial Commander, Commissioner Miriam Gluyas, we are preparing for a new season of growth and change with the Holy Spirit’s help, supported by a vision of provision in 2 Kings 3. We thank you in advance for your prayerful intercession.

· Pray for deep faith and belief in the advancing Kingdom of God, trusting that God is always on the move, whether progress is visible or gradual.

· Please pray for the ‘Big 5’ areas we have seen emerging and are committing to as a territory in this new season:

1. Discipleship: by following the way of Jesus, being a disciple who invests in another disciple, who, in turn, makes another disciple.

2. Evangelism: by being confident in God’s complete good news story and eager to share his message when the time is right.

3. Prayer: by regularly being still, listening and being renewed by the presence of the living God.

4. Spiritual warfare: by being wise and discerning in the spiritual battles we face.

5. Mission: by playing our part in advancing God's mission in our local context as we ‘Gather, Grow, and Go.’

· Pray for pioneers and pioneering – that we would be seeing, understanding, and empowering those who feel led to step out in a new way, to carve new paths for the advancement of the Kingdom.

· Rejoice with those who are experiencing breakthroughs and pray for those in tougher seasons, believing in a future filled with hope.

· Pray for perseverance in difficult times, trusting in God’s provision, even when challenges arise, as seen in 2 Kings 3.

· Pray for a combination of faith and action for our soldiery, staff, and everyone who encounters our movement, trusting that God will provide as we take the steps Jesus asks of us, even if they seem unclear at first.

· Pray for confidence in God's provision, believing that he will send the rain when we do our part. Pray also for patience to wait for God’s timing.

· Pray for determination and commitment to do the hard work, trusting that God will honour our efforts. Pray for perseverance for our people, knowing that God’s transformation work in the world at times asks for our combined effort, and ask God for strength to press on with the shared yoke of Christ.

· Pray for the courage to stand firm and explain our faith to those who may not understand the work God has called us to, with hope of their salvation at the forefront of our purpose and mind.

· Pray for focus on the priorities of God's mission: that Jesus would be at the centre of everything, and that we would wisely spend our time, money and energy.

· Pray for a deepening focus on the things God values, especially salvation, holiness, and advancing God’s Kingdom.

· Pray for a fresh understanding of God’s mission as revealed by the Word, our own lives and the saints that have gone before - remembering that we are part of God’s ongoing story.

· Pray for a shift in our perspective and communication, recognising that we live in a ‘pre-Christian nation’ and need to share Jesus in ways that people can understand – including with our staff and soldiery, whom we value and thank God for.

· Pray for God’s Spirit to lead us as a movement that is Jesus-centred, Spirit-led, and hope revealed throughout 2025 and beyond.

· Pray with us in both excitement and faith, anticipating what God will accomplish as we labour together for God’s Kingdom.

· Pray for our part in the ‘People, Mission and Legacy’ focus to be outworked in our communities, across our nation, and to impact the world for Jesus’ name.
