Prayer is a vital part of the life of Scripture Union and our desire to help people of all ages meet God through the Bible and prayer is part of our aim.
We invite supporters and anyone who shares our vision to join us in praying for the ministries of Scripture Union. If you would like to receive our Global Prayer News each month by email please contact us here.
Global Children’s Day of Prayer 2025
Our Big Dream
On Saturday 29th March, 2025, children from all around the world will gather to pray – for their world and the work of Scripture Union with children.
This event will be hosted by Scripture Union International and will connect Hubs across the SU Global Family to pray together.
The online event will bring children and leaders together to prepare and pray. It is for all children, aged 8-14 years old primarily, who have a connection with Scripture Union. They may be from a camp or a school group, or a group of community children involved with SU.
Find out how to be part of this exciting new 90-minute online event, that will see children leading us in prayer for local and global needs.

More details on the 2025 Global Week of Prayer will appear here later in the year.
A Prayer for Ukraine
“Our God and Father
We all are shocked and devastated by the horrendous war in Ukraine.
As a global Scripture Union community, we pray for all the people affected:
for the frightened children, for those who have lost loved ones,
for those who have had to leave their homes.
We pray for families torn apart, for old people who do not want to leave their homes,
for men fearing to be drafted, for women who are carrying the responsibility for a family on the move.
We cry out for your miraculous intervention. We pray for peace and reconciliation.
And we pray for us, the Church, to be salt and light, loving, caring,
spreading words of hope – the hope we have in Jesus.
We pray for our SU team in Ukraine. Some have left the country. Some are staying and serving wherever they can.
We ask for safety, courage, and strength.
Let them, and let us all be servants to a world in need.
Amen.”
