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 (10-16 November), we pray for the Eastern Europe Territory.

The countries that make up the Latin America North Territory are Bulgaria, Georgia, Moldova, Romania and Ukraine.

The Eastern Europe Territory has 91 officers (84 active and 7 retired); 2 cadets; 37 corps; 1 outpost; 1143 senior soldiers; 783 adherents; 291 junior soldiers; 58 employees.

Lieut-Colonel João Paulo and Karin Ramos lead the territory.

The work includes:

· Food assistance, winter aid and family support

· Humanitarian response

· Community development

· Emergency response

· Modern slavery and human trafficking response

At a glance:

· 38 faith communities

· 259,000 refugees supported

· 600 children and young people in clubs and youth groups.

The leaders have shared the following points to guide us as we pray:

For the territory

We pray that soldiers and officers will be confident in the power of the Gospel - anytime and anywhere without fear or shame.

We ask God to bring revival to every corps and region.

We pray for unity and wisdom in leadership, and that the strategic plan will be inspired by the Holy Spirit, not just human reasoning; that leaders will hear God’s voice, see the bigger picture, and lead with love and humility.

We pray that every soldier will live a consecrated life, serving as examples of holiness, sacrifice and commitment to ministry.

We pray for God’s provision of suitable buildings and officer quarters, and for wisdom to review current resources so that all facilities align with the mission.

Pray that God will raise up new leaders – young officers, soldiers, musicians and preachers – to carry the mission forward with fresh strength and vision.
