• Pray for Italy and Greece 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 (23-29 March) we pray for The Salvation Army in the Italy and Greece Territory.

 The Italy and Greece Territory has 33 officers (21 active, 12 retired); 7 Envoys; 14 corps; 217 senior soldiers; 89 adherents; 23 junior soldiers; 32 employees.

Lieut-Colonels Andrew and Darlene Morgan lead the territory.

The work of the region includes:

·      Homelessness services

·      Modern slavery and human trafficking response.

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

Specifically for Greece

We give thanks for the dedication of officers, soldiers, employees and volunteers. Please pray for the ongoing ministry of the Green Light Project in Athens, as The Salvation Army’s presence continues in Greece.

Pray for all aspects of the closures of the corps in Athens and Thessaloniki over the coming months: for spiritual and practical care for those who frequent the corps, the transition of officers to new appointments, property logistics, and legal matters.

Pray for the Lord’s guidance for any re-pioneering in the future.

Specifically for Italy

We give thanks for a successful Angel Tree initiative during the end of last year. Many nationwide businesses partnered with corps, centres, and Salvationists to bring gifts to nearly 400 children in need across nine communities. Pray that relationships with families will be nurtured and will bear life-changing and spiritual fruit.

Pray that community support for the vulnerable, and that The Salvation Army, will continue to develop.

Please pray for the Men’s Rallies that will be held in the north and south of Italy on 11 and 18 April which are designed to encourage reflection, discussion, and personal growth. Pray that men will be encouraged to be visible and vocal pillars of faith in their families and communities.

Please pray for final preparations for the Women’s Retreat being held 30 May – 02 June. Pray that God will prepare a way for the women he desires to be present. Pray that families and communities of Italy will be transformed through the Spirit’s work in the lives of women.

Pray for those whom God is calling to full time ministry. We also pray for the wellbeing of officers and leaders, many of whom have multiple roles and appointments. Pray for wisdom, Jesus-centred and mission-centred priorities, and joy!

Pray for the ongoing transformation of the territory’s largest social centre in Rome, as buildings receive certification, vulnerable individuals are once again received, and qualified staff are hired for this ministry of compassion and care.

And pray that the ongoing implementation of the territorial strategic plan will sharpen ministry priorities and bear the fruit of more individuals, families and communities being transformed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
