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 (16-22 March) we pray for the USA Central Territory. This includes the states of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin.

Commissioner Evie Diaz leads the territory.

The USA Central Territory has 1058 officers (535 active, 523 retired); 8 Aux-Capts; 39 Envoys; 28 cadets; 228 corps; 10,922 senior soldiers; 1675 adherents; 1923 junior soldiers; 10,854 employees.

The work of the territory includes:

· Homelessness services

· Disaster response

· Support for older people

· Summer camps for young people

· Modern slavery and human trafficking response

Praise points

· The new year brought a new territorial prayer initiative: Praying Beyond … BIG & BOLD! We are encouraged to pray beyond ourselves with big, bold prayers to God who answers in amazing ways!

· We praise God for the beautiful diversity he has gifted us with in our congregations and those we serve.

· A Centre for Social Justice and City Mission has recently been opened in the heart of Chicago. Pray for its presence and ministry in the community and throughout the territory.

Prayer requests

· We are praying for revival to sweep across the territory!

· We pray to be good stewards of our finances, facilities and resources.

· Uphold the Keepers of the Covenant and Proclaimers of Transformation sessions of cadets in prayer.

· People open to hearing the call of God on their lives and responding to local leadership and officership.

· For the Holy Spirit’s leading in the three territorial priorities and their task forces:

Spiritual Life

· To hear the needs of the field and be creative in coming alongside them.

· That we would experience new levels of spiritual transformation and growth resulting in richer spiritual lives.

Youth

· That we would continue to see growth and revival in our young adults.

· For the corps’ youth outreach and summer camping programs.
