Our Ministry Partnerships Coordinator, Mr Amit Khaira, has worked hard in the early months of this year to pull together a month-long collective across Western Australia: May 2026 – The Month of Prayer!
Today we reach the halfway point of the Month of Prayer, and here is the ‘half-time report’ for those of us praying each day for different Local Government Areas (LGA’s) and schools across our state.
Step 1: The Geo-Networks have connected to unite in this initiative.
(‘Geo-Network’ refers to a geographical network of pastors who gather together regularly to work for the good of their communities.)
Step 2: A dedicated website with resources is set up, including videos about each community, daily prayer guides, a prayer schedule, and an interactive prayer map.
Step 3: Start praying!
For many people, prayer is an intensely personal experience. It’s a private moment between you and God. It’s completely sacred – and the more you contemplate its depths, the harder it is to put into mortal words.
However, there have been some positive messages, and it is clear from website visits and map usage that people from all over Western Australia have come together to demonstrate their belief in the power of prayer and its positive effects on our wider community.
As of today, the Month of Prayer initiative has covered schools in 15 Local Government Areas (LGAs) in prayer.
At the heart of this mission are the thousands of students, teachers and families connected to WA’s schools.
This week, Amit met with local chaplains and church pastors as part of this work:
“It’s exciting to see how God will move through a unified and surrendered church,” he said.
“We’re looking forward to seeing the results of this month of prayer in our local schools.”
And it’s not just schools that will be positively impacted – as churches commit to prayer, they have shared several encouraging testimonies with us.
At the core of each story is the growing heart of compassion towards schools in each church’s local area.
Their churchwide prayer meetings began with a dedicated time of prayer for their local schools.
In our next edition of SCEA News, we will conclude the Month of Prayer with some details of the 30-day campaign. What a wonderful initiative for our schools, the Central Office and the wider community!
