• Prayer requests:
• Seychelles is an isolated nation, with perhaps little worldwide attention. Pray that the Lord, who knows all people by name, would raise up laborers to this harvest field., and that national believers may seek to reap a harvest among their fellow countryman who need to know of the hope in Jesus Christ
• Seychelles is predominantly Roman Catholic. Pray that people would understand what it means to have a personal relationship with the living God.
• Pray for Bible translation for the two main French Creole dialects. Seselwa has no translation, and the Reunion has only the New Testament.
• Pray for a pure and holy Church in Seychelles, set apart for the Lord.
