Prayer Requests
-
Our partners in DRC and South Sudan have been living in a context of war and armed violence for the last three decades. Many agreements have been signed, for instance in Luanda, in Doha, in Washingtong for DRC, but without change on the field. Let us pray for sustainable peace so that people can work peacefully on their development.
-
Some partners in Africa have changed their leaders during this year (CTB, AEBEC, ACC&S). Let us pray for the new leaders so that God may give them wisdom to lead the people of God.
-
We have started new projects, with the support of CBM or CFGB this year. Let us pray for the implementation teams and the participants so that their efforts, including the efforts of the donors, may bear fruit for the glory of God.
