Update on Guinea Uprising

June 3, 2008

The president of Guinea, General Lasana Conte, has negotiated a settlement with a faction of the army that recently took over the airport and half of Conakry, the capital. The agreement included the release of back pay to the mutinous soldiers. “At present things are calm in Conakry, and businesses are open,” said Alliance missionary Dan Ibsen. During the insurrection, most of the mission team was attending its annual field forum in N’Zerekore, about 600 miles away from Conakry.

Pray.

The Alliance believes wholeheartedly in the power and necessity of prayer. We cannot “Live the Call Together” unless prayer is central to all we do—as a denomination, as churches, and as individuals.

Give.

You can help build Christ’s Church around the world by donating online to the Great Commission Fund. This fund finances our missionaries, allowing them to focus on ministry rather than raising their own support.
