• Pray for Philippines Territory

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 (24-30 November), we pray for the Philippines Territory.

The Philippines Territory has 246 officers (149 active, 97 retired); 13 envoys; 11 cadets; 88 corps; 26 outposts; 8659  senior soldiers; 5560 adherents; 947 junior soldiers; 80 employees.

There are 114 faith communities, 13 schools, and 3136 people have been assisted with emergency relief.

The work of the territory includes:

·  Schools and education

·  Community development

·  Social enterprise

·  Modern slavery and human trafficking response

Colonels David and Elsa Oalang lead the territory. They have shared the following points to guide us as we pray:

Prayer requests

·    Pray for the recovery of families affected by disasters. During the past months, different areas were devastated by strong typhoons. In fact, there was a time when three typhoons entered the country consecutively. The 6.9. magnitude earthquake in Cebu claimed lives and destroyed properties.

·    Pray for more young people to respond to the call for officership.

·    Pray for the succession plan of the territory – the training of leaders on all levels of ministry is one of the Ten Territorial Priorities.

·    Pray for financial sustainability, that God would bless the territory's business ventures, and that the generous lifestyle program continues to become part of every soldier and officer's spiritual principle.

·    Pray for the implementation of the territorial strategic plan.
