COVID-19: Donaldsons unite Salvos behind national prayer campaign
21 March 2020
The Salvation Army's Australia Territory Leaders have called for prayer during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Commissioners Janine and Robert Donaldson have encouraged Salvos across Australia to join a national prayer initiative prompted by the COVID-19 crisis.
The National Council of Churches in Australia (NCAA) has sent a letter to Australian church leaders, inviting them to unite in prayer amid the rising incidence of COVID-19 infection. The letter encourages “all our Christian brothers, sisters and friends to take up this offer”.
The NCCA President, Bishop Philip Huggins, has made the following suggestions: Invite our people to pray at 7pm every day until Easter; make a particular focus of Prayer for the Nations amid COVID-19 on Sunday 29 March.
“Janine and I support this important initiative and we encourage Salvos to join with other Christians across the country in prayer,” said Commissioner Robert Donaldson. “This is gaining good traction across many churches, not just those in NCAA.”
The NCAA has also written a specific prayer in response to the crisis. It reads:

Gracious God, We give thanks anew for your providence and presence. Amen |
The Salvation Army has also released its own prayer. To see this, click here
