Give
L’Abri is guided by the principle of relying on prayer for God to meet the work’s various needs. We do not fundraise or ask for donations. There is nothing wrong with this, yet we believe God has led L’Abri differently.
Our goal with online donations is to make the process easier for those who wish to give, rather than to actively ask for funds. If you have any questions about your donation, please reach out to us.

Pray
Here at L’Abri, prayer is part of our heritage and our work. It’s easy to let the ‘pressing’ things take over, but we strive to remain rooted in the belief that this work belongs to God. Prayer is how we practice that trust. Please consider joining our global community through our prayer newsletter; we would love to have you standing with us.
