In this special edition to end 2024, we reflect on the many answers to our intentions and prayers this year. We give thanks for major progress made in conflicts and crises, step changes in some formerly challenging situations, and large scale global advancements in attending to the care of our planet and the health of the world's poor. Join with us as we recognise and appreciate the great strides have been taken in a world that too often seems driven by conflict and catastrophe.
Suggested focus for this week

We give thanks for the many answered intentions and prayers that we know of this year, as well as the many that we don’t.
