Faith in Business Prayer

Faith in Business Prayer is a network of Christians in business who pray for each other and for the working world around them.

The spur for starting this network came in March 2020. Initially our prayers concentrated on COVID-19 and the impact it had on workplaces and working practices, locally and globally. Now the network continues to pray for businesses as they navigate other macroeconomic and specific issues facing them.

Each month, Richard Higginson sends out an email letter with his reflections on current economic and societal situations. Often this will include more information on particular businesses in our network and how to pray specifically for them. Every three months the group meets online to share needs and concerns, and to pray for each other.

If you would like to join this network please contact Richard by completing our Contact Us form. Confidentiality protocols are observed.

Faith in Business also encourages prayer for business more generally. Below you will find prayers for people in the full range of occupations, including business. Please make use of these.
