Pray
- Pray that the LORD’s name would be made great among the nation of Djibouti. Mission work is a challenge in a land where the heat, humidity, and working conditions are extreme. Ask the LORD to continue to send his workers to the mission field there.
- Praise the LORD for the freedom that is available in Djibouti. Western military presence, due to the strategic location, helps foster a climate of peace and safety. Pray that this freedom remains and is not eroded by the unstable military leaders surrounding Djibouti.
- There are many serious social and economic problems that continue to plague Djibouti: notable widespread famine, extreme unemployment and the rising urban issues of human trafficking, prostitution and drug abuse. Pray for fruitful ministry amid abject poverty and human suffering.
