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 (11-17 May) we pray for the Hong Kong and Macau Territory.
Australian officers Colonels Phil and Deslea Maxwell lead the Territory.
The Hong Kong and Macau Territory has 51 officers (29 active, 22 retired); one cadet, 17 corps; one outpost; 2492 senior soldiers; 21 adherents; 514 junior soldiers; 3015 employees.
Praise:
· While the tragedy of last year’s high-rise fire continues to impact our community, we give thanks for the compassionate and highly visible response of our personnel whose practical, emotional, and spiritual care for the victims has opened up new ministry opportunities for the territory.
· We are thankful for the far-reaching impact of last year’s ‘Legacy of Hope’, celebrations which enabled us to thank God for the Army’s impact in the past, and to anticipate his power and promise for the future.
· We are grateful for the launch and growing adoption of the ‘Hope Builders’ initiative. This programme which addresses youth suicide, has already equipped close to 200 individuals to recognise and respond to the needs of “at-risk” young people.
Prayer Requests:
· Pray for the ongoing adoption and effective integration of the six territorial priorities across all areas of the territory’s daily operations.
· Pray that this year’s theme, Living Hope, will build on last year’s focus, and will bring fresh momentum to the Army’s mission across the territory.
· For the further advancement of the ‘Hope Builders’ initiative. That this programme shall have a positive impact on the high number of youths experiencing mental distress and those contemplating suicide.
· While we rejoice in the increasing openness of our youth and young adults to God’s calling for their lives, and for older ‘second career’ candidates considering ministry, we pray for the strengthening of our officer numbers.
