Dear Praying Friends
Eastern and southern Africa is a troubled region. AIDS is a serious problem due to values in the local cultures that run deeper than the gospel. Often there is ethnic division that undermines the church’s effectiveness in being salt and light to the lost.
On the other hand, have any of you ever attended a church service in this part of the world? For many peoples there, church doesn’t begin on Sunday morning, but Saturday evening. They spend the entire night worshiping, dancing, singing, and praying. How I wish we could get our Global Prayer Digest materials to people who pray like they do! It may be that the unreached people groups in this part of the world would add to the sweet incense of intercession and worship if only they had the gospel.
It’s important that we try to see the nations with the loving eyes of God. He sees the sin, but He also sees the potential. He sees the need all peoples have for the Kingdom of God, and sends His children to offer an invitation. Will you stand beside those working in Africa by empowering their work with your prayers?
In Christ,
Keith Carey Managing Editor GPD
