A report from our Alliance team in Mali
On Friday, France began military intervention to halt the advance of rebels toward Mali’s capital, Bamako, from bases in the north and east, the BBC reported Monday. The following is an adapted excerpt from Alliance workers in Mali.
Many of you are aware of the events taking place in Mali and have already been praying about it. Thank you!
We are all fine, but things are tense in Mali and much prayer is needed. We are watching developments closely, and our respective embassies are keeping us informed and giving guidance as needed. We will keep you updated as the situation develops.
What You Can Do
Pray!
“We need your help to ask God to intervene on behalf of the country, the church here, and our work, and to guard against any additional lives being lost—no matter which side they are on,” requests an Alliance worker in Mali.
