… Poverty
-Nicaragua is the poorest country in Central America and the second poorest in the Hemisphere, according to the CIA World Factbook.
-Poverty in Nica has been the cause and result of many political problems.
-Pray for God’s provision for these people and that they will trust Him for their needs.
-With God nothing is impossible. Pray for a solution to the poverty in Nica.
Economy
-Underemployment is widespread.
-“Nicaragua relies on international economic assistance to meet internal- and external-debt financing obligations. Managua still struggles with a high public debt burden, however, it succeeded in reducing that burden substantially in 2011. The economy grew at a rate of about 4% in 2011.”
-Pray for economic wisdom and the needed long-term development!
The Church
-This longstanding state of poverty shapes the spirituality of Nicaragua, with both liberation theology and prosperity theology playing major roles. Pray that false and incomplete theologies will not distract from the truth of Jesus Christ and that the church will equip people with sound doctrine.
-The church is growing. Like a lot. Pray for not only continued growth, but genuine discipleship – that the seed wouldn’t fall on shallow soil but that the seed would fall on good soil and become deeply rooted!
-Pray that church in Nica would be a straight up model of the ACTS church, and that this would be a solution to the poverty within the body of Christ.
