Week 5 - Africa
January 27th - February 2nd
Monday (27th) - Ivory Coast
We are very thankful for our new website, which was created by our young IT intern, Emmanuel Anselme. May God bless him for this precious help. Pray that many people will find it helpful. Pray also for Emmanuel’s health as he often suffers fevers.
Tuesday (28th) - Ivory Coast
For years, we have been assisting teams of pastors who evangelise in the country’s prisons by supplying them with relevant materials. These include Bible reading notes as well as evangelistic tracts and Bibles for evangelism at a special price. We have heard many testimonies of conversions, and we give glory to God for these souls who are saved!
Wednesday (29th) - Burkina Faso
The evangelistic tracts, The Film of your Life and The Match of your Life, are a real response to the needs of churches that are delighted to finally have such attractive materials to use in outreach. The messages they contain are very touching and a source of blessing to those who receive them, so please pray that many will give their lives to Jesus Christ through reading them.
Thursday (30th) - Burkina Faso
Pray for the possibility of having a CLC book deposit in Bobo, the second city. Many of our customers are asking us to come there and so we already have some contacts. Pray that this dream may become a reality so that more people may be reached with the Word and with helpful Christian literature.
Friday (31st) - Benin
Last year, CLC Benin changed its location after our landlord sold the premises we had occupied for many years. Please pray that we will not lose our previous customers through this change of address and that we will gain new ones also. Pray for Adelaide, who is responsible for the social media posts, that she will be able to effectively use these to reach our public. Thank you.
The Weekend (February 1st - 2nd) - Burkina Faso
Please pray for Eli, the 24-year-old son of Gérard, our former colleague who is now retired but still helps us on special occasions. Eli suffers from a tumour, which is lodged in his head. Laser surgery has removed the tumour through the nostrils and ears, but, so far, Eli is still suffering. Please pray for the family in this very difficult situation.
