• Pray for France and Belgium Territory

Each week through 2026, Salvationists around the world are uniting in prayer for the same territory or region of The Salvation Army. Prayer requests are shared by the territory/region to help us pray with precision and power for one another.

This week (12-18 January) we pray for the France and Belgium Territory.

The France and Belgium Territory has 143 officers (49 active, 94 retired); 2 envoys; 29 corps; 3 outposts; 1034 senior soldiers; 223 adherents; 167 junior soldiers; 2998 employees.

Colonels Claude-Evelyne and Jacques Donzé lead the France and Belgium Territory.

The work of the territory includes:

·  Work with children and young people

·  Social inclusion

·  Supporting people with disabilities and dependencies

·  Food aid (1.5 million meals distributed in 2024)

·  Emergency street work.

Prayers for the territory:

Praise points:

·    Let us thank God for our wonderful seminar last November where managers and assistant managers, officers and corps leaders gathered to work together.

·    Let us thank God for the progress made in our spiritual strategic plan, particularly during the weekend workshop with 20 young people from the territory.

·    Let us thank God for the two cadets from the “Proclaimers of Transformation” session who joined the three cadets from the “Keepers of the Covenant” session.

Prayer requests:

·    Let us pray for our 2026 congress in the presence of General Lyndon Buckingham and Commissioner Bronwyn Buckingham, from 20 to 24 May. And also, for the consecration of the “Keepers of the Covenant” cadets, which will take place during this event.
