Uniting for Change: Sri Lanka's New Era

  • Summary

  • This week we take an insightful journey through the current political and social landscape of Sri Lanka in the aftermath of its 2024 elections. We explore the significant challenges facing the government, especially the opportunity for reconciling the longstanding ethnic tension between the country's Tamil and Sinhala communities. As always, we identify specific needs for our prayers and intentions. Suggested Intention Focus for this week This week, as a new government establishes itself in Sri Lanka, we suggest holding as our main intention: We will that Sri Lanka’s new President, Anura Kumara Dissanayake, and his government will be moved to honour his promise to work for a united country that respects all ethnicities. Please join us in holding this.
