The Tree of Prayer

This writing campaign has closed.

Join the global church as we pray for hope to overpower the senseless violence spreading throughout Sub-Saharan Africa.

Simply draw a leaf, cut it out, and write your prayer or encouragement on the leaf.

Together with leaves from all over the world, we will create a beautiful and expansive prayer tree, reminding believers in the region that they are not alone.

This idea was inspired by the national tree of Nigeria, the Camphor Tree. It is a large evergreen tree that carries its leaves all year round and can live to be greater than 1000 years old.

The Camphor Tree is great for creating shelter, and copes well in a range of soil types and situations. It continues to provide shade when most other plants have died back or are reduced to bare stems.

We want to encourage Christians in Nigeria to stand strong, hold on to hope, and remember that the global Church are praying for them!

And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. – Revelation 22:2
