With a COVID outbreak and lockdown in Sydney that might get the Australian record, NSW is a state that needs prayer. Key leaders from across the denominations will join in prayer on Wednesday, August 18, in zoom sessions organised by Family Voice Australia.

- The Most Reverend Kanishka Raffel – Anglican Archbishop, Diocese of Sydney (Opens the session at 8:00am)

They will pray for the sick, lonely, depressed, homeless, students, isolated, families, small businesses, unemployed, those on the border of alcohol and gambling addictions and especially for all our health workers and government leaders working under COVID-19.
“The NSW lockdowns highlight the support needed for those less able to cope with the pressures of a lockdown such as HSC students, the lonely and the elderly, Greg Bondar NSW/ACT Director & Prayer Coordinator for Family Voice. “We are not ‘all in this together,’ as some are less able to cope than others, especially mums and dads trying to cope financially with no jobs or an income”
