SOMALIA, EAST AFRICA

A combination of drought, crop failures, poverty, and civil conflict has created
a potentially disastrous situation in Somalia. UN officials have already
declared a famine in two regions and five to six other regions may soon follow.
Thousands have died and 12.5 million more people are at risk.

Pray for the Lord to bring relief to this troubled nation.

Ask Him to bring defeat to al-Shabaab and other terrorist groups who are trying
to keep aid from reaching those who are starving.

Pray for the Lord to open the door for Christian humanitarian agencies to
provide food, clean water, shelter, and medicine to those at risk and those who
have been displaced.

Petition the Lord to bring stability to this nation, raising up leaders who will
govern with integrity.

Pray for the Gospel to be proclaimed throughout Somalia and for a great harvest
of souls.
(Psalm 9:9)

Hindu "holy man" Sathya Sai Baba died in April 2011. He was considered a "god" by his followers, who numbered in the millions. They believe he healed himself and was reborn in 1993. They are now praying for his resurrection. Ask the Lord to speak to the hearts of all those in India who have put their hope in men and false gods. Pray for their blind eyes to be opened to the truth of Jesus Christ. Pray for the Gospel to be proclaimed throughout India.
