Pray For the World: Sub-Saharan AfricaSýnishorn

While Africa still needs some missionaries in remote places, one of Sub-Saharan Africa’s greatest needs is in the classroom. Various false teachings, especially the prosperity gospel, are widespread. Theological educators are needed to help church leaders establish a strong foundation in the truth and accuracy of Scripture. If all of Africa is going to experience the hope of Christ, then African Christians need to play a pivotal role. They need to be disciples who make disciples. Missionaries are training national Christians how to be effective disciple makers by focusing on rightly handling the Word of God. Missionaries have the opportunity to invest in mobilizing these leaders through vision casting, training, and partnering toward the common goal of making Christ known.

Pray for strong, interdependent relationships between missionaries and national partners. Pray that these relationships will result in numerous partners focused on the Father’s heart for the lost. Pray also that African theologians would hold fast to the inerrant Word of God and proclaim it boldly and wholly across Sub-Saharan Africa.
