Team Bristol

Team Bristol brings Christians across Bristol together in daily prayer for our city. Every day of the month, the app focuses on a different theme affecting people across Bristol. From homelessness, poverty and loneliness to education, healthcare, prisons, business and civic life, Team Bristol helps us understand more about our city, pray with greater insight and explore ways we can make a difference. Each daily theme follows a simple rhythm: REFLECT Discover local facts and insights about the day’s theme. Learn more about the people affected, the challenges they face and what is happening across Bristol. Team Bristol is designed to help us look beyond the parts of the city and the issues we already know, building a broader understanding of the needs, opportunities and communities around us. PRAY Bring what you have discovered before God. Pray for the people directly affected by each issue, for their families and communities, for those working alongside them, and for positive change across our city. By focusing on a different theme every day of the month, Team Bristol enables Christians from different churches and communities to pray for the same city and many of the same issues together. ACT Prayer can deepen our awareness of where we might make a difference. Discover charities, churches and other superheroes already at work across Bristol. Learn more about what they do and explore opportunities to connect with or support them. Team Bristol also encourages you to consider what you already have that could help. That might be your time, practical resources, financial support, professional skills, experience, relationships or something you could incorporate into everyday life. You may already be actively serving your community. Team Bristol can help you discover other issues and organisations across the city, while providing a daily rhythm for continuing to pray for Bristol.
