Refugee Week runs from 16-22 June 2025, with 20 June being World Refugee Day. This year, we are invited to pray for refugees in a meaningful and transformative way.
The prayers are structured around three simple yet profound terms:
- THANK YOU
Prayer ideas to reflect on our own safety, and to thank God for the presence, gifts and contributions of refugees. THANK_YOU_Praying_for_Refugees - SORRY
Prayer ideas to say sorry to God for the times when we have not welcomed the stranger. SORRY_Praying_for_Refugees - PLEASE
Prayer ideas to intercede for refugees and ask God for inner transformation. PLEASE_Praying_for_Refugees
The prayer ideas invite a deeper connection to the plight of refugees, providing space for our hearts to break for the forced displacement of God’s image-bearers.
This is not about an issue ‘over there’.
This is God’s work of reconciliation.
And we’re invited to join in.
