Challenges for Prayer
After two decades of Communism, the past dictator eventually became president of the new democracy. But in the years between he provoked a civil war that devastated the land, killed thousands, and displaced over 300,000 people. Pray for good government, for wise economic policies, for good stewardship of natural resources, and for justice to rule in society.
Pray for a new move of the Spirit, even greater than the revival that swept the
region over 50 years ago.Although 40% of the population are under age 15, few churches developed ministries to children or youth. Pray for many new youth and children’s programmes in this nation.
