It is the tradition of the church to offer alms during Lent. The Anglian Relief & Development Fund (ARDF) wants to partner with you in this discipline by sharing the stories of those who need our prayers, our encouragement, and our help. The stories in the 2020 Lent Prayer Guide highlight the vital role the church has in providing the most basic of needs: reliable electricity and clean water, while simultaneously bringing the love and hope of Jesus!

Week by week during Lent, these stories will be explained in more detail.

ARDF is committed to providing light and clean water to those in need. Your church’s Sunday School or Youth Group can partner with us this Lent! Work through our Lent Prayer Guide each week with your group. Read more...
