Much of the work CSW does wouldnt be possible without our many local partner organisations, who put themselves on the line every day to speak up for religious freedom. Their support often comes with risks, especially in countries where helping religious minorities carries a good deal of danger.

Whether it’s the tireless work of CSW Nigeria, or the support and expertise of groups in Pakistan such as the Cecil and Iris Chaudhry Foundation, we couldn’t be more grateful for our fearless partners, so please join us in prayer for them this week.

This week, please pray:

• For protection, safety and wisdom for the work of Salvance Jacob and the Farrukh Saif Foundation, which provides legal assistance to minorities in Pakistan. This often attracts violence both in and out of the courtroom;
• That God would provide richly for the work of CSW Nigeria, as they often do difficult work with few resources;
• For unity and strength for the All India Christian Council, a network of thousands of Indian Christians that works to protect the Christian community in India;
• Thanking God for Michelle Chaudhry’s determination to carry on the work of her parents for religious minorities and poor communities, Cecil and Iris through the Cecil and Iris Chaudhry Foundation;
• Ask God to protect Pastors For Change, a group of Cuban pastors who are often threatened as they go about their business;
• For the safety and security of the Peace and Development Foundation, which promotes interfaith harmony and challenges extremist mindsets in Pakistan;
• Give thanks for all of CSW’s partner organisations, who put themselves at risk to speak up for freedom.
