Pray for Guinea

December 23, 2008

“We just received news that Guinea’s President Lansana Conte died this morning,” reports Alliance worker Jim Derksen.  
 
Elements of Guinea’s government have since staged a coup. They have proclaimed the dissolution of the government and the suspension of the constitution and all political and union activity until further notice.  
 
So far, there have been no reports of fighting or casualties in Conakry, but the situation remains fluid and uncertain at this time. The security situation remains unpredictable.  
 
“Please pray specifically that God would use this time to open the door so that people would become ready to hear the good news,” Derksen continues.  
 
Pray also that: 

  • God would protect his servants who are in Guinea
  • National believers in Guinea would be a bright light to those who do not yet know Jesus

 
 
“Please pray for Guinea in the coming days and weeks, as we will see lots of changes,” Derksen concludes. “Thank you in advance for your prayers!”

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.

Serve.

Is God calling you to full-time service? Do you want to experience missions firsthand by participating in a short-term missions trip? We want to help you connect your passion with God’s purpose.
