Because of the great report Paul continually got of the church at Rome, he was able to effectually pray for them without ceasing for years (cf. Romans 1:9 with 15:23), all without ever having visited them. Think about how much God will do in Africa simply because of the faithful prayers of his people.

We ask that you hold regular prayer meetings with your family, friends, and/or church for this ministry. There are three very significant areas of prayer-need we have:

The Salvation of Africa

Pray for the salvation of lost souls, and pray for all soul-winning activity and training.

"Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God." - Romans 10:1-3

"How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!" - Romans 10:14-15

The Sanctification of Africa

Pray for the faithfulness of newer disciples, and for greater holiness of established disciples.

"Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me." - John 17:17-21

"Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God." - Acts 14:22

"Night and day praying exceedingly that we might see your face, and might perfect that which is lacking in your faith?" - 1 Thessalonians 3:10

The Service of Africa

Pray for spiritual leaders (evangelists and pastors) to be raised up, and for churches-plants to be started in new regions.

"But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest." - Matthew 9:36-38

"Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation: But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand." - Romans 15:20-21

"For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:" - Titus 1:5
