Besides donation, your prayer support is vital to us! Pray for our partner, ministry abroad, our staff and needs around the world. Let us use our prayers to spread peace, mercy and justice!
Partners & Ministries
Nepal is currently facing an intensification of religious hatred and a tense situation. Local Hindu extremism is on the verge of eruption, leading to social discrimination and the exclusion of non-Hindus. Our local partners, as a Christian community, face a more hostile environment when engaging in public ministry. Despite this, our partners persist in their efforts to protect the voices of other marginalised groups and promote their ministry. May the Lord grant them strength, wisdom, and courage to face these challenges and keep them safe.
The World & Our Neighbours
On 19 March, the World Meteorological Organisation released the ‘State of the Global Climate 2023’ report, confirming that 2023 was the hottest year on record. The report indicates that multiple records were again broken, including greenhouse gas levels, surface temperatures, ocean heat and acidification, sea-level rise, Antarctic sea ice, and glacier retreat. Additionally, extreme weather has exacerbated food insecurity. The number of people severely affected by global food insecurity has more than doubled, from 149 million before the COVID-19 pandemic to 333 million in 2023. We pray for God’s mercy upon those affected by poverty and call upon the conscience of affluent regions to recognise their responsibility in addressing climate issues.
CEDAR Team & Needs
We want to encourage brothers and sisters to cultivate a heart of creation care and to pay collective attention to climate justice issues. To this end, we will hold a ‘Caring for the Created World, Upholding Climate Justice’ (Chinese only) ministry sharing and prayer meeting on 26 April. We are grateful to have invited Dr. Amos Tai, Associate Professor of the Earth and Environmental Science Programme at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and our General Secretary to share on the topic. We pray that the Lord will move us to see the needs of communities affected by climate change and to sign up for the prayer meeting. Additionally, please pray for recruiting co-workers in various departments so that the Lord may lead suitable brothers and sisters to join our team.
Prayer Meeting
From time to time, CEDAR organises prayer meetings to let everyone know more about our ministries, the poor communities and to pray together for them.

The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.
