Prayers

I want to pray that this nation is revived from the darkness that is taken over the country with HIV/AIDS and poverty. I pray that the government demands ways to educate the children and adults of how to prevent the spread of HIV and AIDS, and also that they create ways to allow families out of poverty. I pray that the church that is represented in the nation is willing to support and advocate for their neighbors. I pray that the people love and serve each other as God’s Word compels us to. I pray that our team is willing to encourage and spur on the Christians we meet, and also provide opportunities to reach out to the lost in the villages and cities for the Christians to disciple and grow in the faith.
