Saturday 22 March is World Water Day, and we encourage you to pray for IN’s Water, Sanitation and Hygiene programmes – particularly those operating in Uganda and Sri Lanka. Every time you take a sip of refreshing water or flush the toilet, take a few seconds to pray for the communities we work in where clean water is scarce. Praise God for the amazing difference a safe, accessible and reliable water supply brings to children, families and whole communities.

Our friends in Burkina Faso are aiming to plant at least four churches this year among the unreached peoples in rural areas. Pray that the Lord would open doors among these communities. Pray for safety for the IN team as they travel to new areas, and ask that the Holy Spirit would guide them to exactly the right places.

Focus on Sri Lanka: Place before God a new three-year project that brings together WASH, Livelihoods and Women’s Empowerment themes, starting April 2025 in three villages in the south of the country. The programme is supported by the New Zealand government and is the largest project ever undertaken by IN Sri Lanka. Pray for good communication and strong relationships as the work gets underway, particularly as a new implementation team is hired.
