PRAYER ROOM
WELCOME TO THE EMBRACE PRAYER ROOM
This is a place where we can come together as Christians to support one another in prayer. Our partners frequently tell us that your prayers are a source of strength and inspiration. Christians in the Middle East love to know that people across the world are praying for them as they face the challenges of life amid conflict, poverty and injustice. Now, more than ever, your prayers matter.
ADVENT REFLECTIONS & ADVENT VIGILS
Our reflections this year are shaped by the theme Building the Kingdom of the Prince of Peace, drawing on the three community priorities of the Community of the Cross of Nails. You’ll receive a free weekly email along with a link to join our online vigils, which will be held every Monday evening during Advent.

STUDY GUIDES
This week we’re praying for Embrace’s partner Think and Do in Egypt. We’re learning how they’re challenging gender inequality through giving women in rural Upper Egypt the opportunity to learn literacy, numeracy and life skills. We’re also reflecting on the importance of words and considering how God might be calling us to use words.
