Prayer Needs
- In spite of severe persecution by the government (7th worst country in which to be a Christian; Thousands of believers imprisoned over the past ten years), the church is growing. Pray that this growth will continue.
- Pray for increased unity and cooperation among Christian denominations and churches around the gospel. A united church is stronger to resist opposition. Also pray that the renewal which is springing up in many denominations will blossom into a nation-wide awakening.
- Pray that God will touch the heart of President Afwerki (and all who work with him). May they come to acknowledge the Lordship of Christ and advance his cause.
The Christian Mind 
Amen!
