• Prayer requests:
• “Since the 1960s loads of people have become Christians, but there has not been enough discipleship to see their faith mature. The church is struggling with divisions and lack of trust between leaders.”
• “With immigration from other countries, the number of Muslims is growing, but there are few Christians who are equipped and supported to reach them. Islamic influences from Libya, Sudan and Saudi Arabia are bringing many to Islam.”
• This is an impoverished nation. Pray that the people would find true riches in Jesus Christ and the inheritance that is found in Him.
• Although statistics show that many are Christian, animism has a strong influence over it. Pray for the sanctity and holiness of the Church and its people to combat this spiritual darkness, and that those in the Church who are held captive by it would find absolute freedom in Christ.
