Prayer topics
Through our prayers we join with LAMB as it serves the people of Bangladesh, especially the many living in extreme poverty. Our prayer is that with God’s help they may remain healthy, achieve a better standard of living and lead happier and more fulfilling lives.
With God’s help LAMB brings healing and wholeness to those who are sick or who have been injured in an accident. LAMB especially looks after women and children, so that new born children will have a good start in life. Our prayer is that God will bless families and bring them hope for the future.
Hospital staff deal with many illnesses for which patients need effective diagnoses and appropriate treatment. Community staff promote healthy practices and look after people with varied needs. Our prayer is and that all staff may be sustained and strengthened by God as they seek to give individual care to each person they serve.
Wholeness in life encompasses peoples’ social, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. It is not only those with mental health issues who can benefit from LAMB’s work, with care and compassion. Our prayer is that people receive God’s loving care through the support that LAMB gives across local communities.
No one is turned away from LAMB because they cannot pay for treatment. There is a Poor Fund from which grants are made towards patient fees. About 10% of patients receive grants. Our prayer is that those in greatest poverty will be able to get the treatment they need.
LAMB is a Christian organisation seeking to share God’s light in a mainly Muslim country and culture. Our prayer is that people of all faiths and none may be inspired to work together in mutual respect under God to meet the physical and spiritual needs of the people of Bangladesh.
Prayer Topics are shared bi-monthly by email to those who wish to pray week by week for LAMB and the people it serves. Please email us if you would like further details.
Current prayer topics (November/December 2024) include:
Pray that the quality of patient care at LAMB will continue to attract more people to the hospital. Our patient numbers are increasing, and we are hoping that it will increase further. Pray that those who walk into our hospital will return with good health, both physically and spiritually.
Our teams reaching into local communities offering palliative care, and support for disability and mental health need funding. Pray for funding to enable sustainable growth so that these services will make a significant impact in peoples’ everyday lives.
The board met recently to reflect on what lies ahead for LAMB, especially in response to more generally available health services, albeit commercial. Pray for the board and senior team as they seek God’s purposes for LAMB in ways that will honour his name and serve the local population.
