Praying for Africa

Ghana has multiple ethnic groups and faiths, but it remains largely peaceful. Praise God! The education system and constitution brought together all ethnicities, and helped build a stable democracy.

Thank God for the mostly friendly relationships between Muslims and Christians in Gambia. Christians have more religious freedom here than in most Muslim countries.

Christians who do not participate in spiritual rituals can be refused academic or professional opportunities. Pray for followers of Jesus to remain faithful to Him alone, and for such faith to spread the Gospel even further.

The nation struggles through social, political, and economic crises. Corruption increased with economic growth, and a wide gap now exists between the few who are rich and the many who are poor.

For decades, HIV/AIDS has devastated this country's population and health; the working age population was particularly impacted. Genuine Christian love, demonstrated in practical and gracious ways, could win many to the Lord.

Pray for the government to focus on caring and providing for its own people - it has a terrible record on human rights and press freedoms, accompanied by an obsession with military power and control.
