Pray for Türkiye and Syria

On the 6th of February, 2023, two massive earthquakes devastated South-Central Türkiye and North-Western Syria. Since then, thousands of buildings have collapsed and tens of thousands of people have died. In the face of such tragedy, it can be hard to know how to pray.

Pray with Lectio 365

We are holding a special day of lament and intercession on our Lectio 365 app on Saturday, 11th February.

Remarkably, we will be responding to specific prayer requests sent in by people who pray with Lectio 365 who are actually in the disaster zone right now.

This will remain available for 30 days. To access it after Saturday, click on the calendar and tap on the 11th of February.

Pray with Believers in the Region

Shocks from the earthquakes were felt in many surrounding nations, including Lebanon, Jordan, and Palestine.

Christelle Hayek, team coordinator for 24-7 Prayer Lebanon, has written a blog in English and in Arabic to help us pray for everyone who has been affected by this earthquake.
