Provocari pentru rugaciune:
1) Freedom of religion is a precious reality, but is threatened by
the polarization of the country. Pray both for continued freedom of religion throughout the country and peace between the different religious and ethnic communities. Libertatea religiei este o realitate pretioasa, dar este amenintata de polarizarea tarii. Sa ne rugam atat pentru continuarea libertatii religioase cat si pentru pacea dintre diferite religii si diferite grupuri entice. ( Operation World)
2) Islam is growing in influence and numbers in Chad. More and
more Muslim nations are sending missionaries to Chad and more mosques are being built. Pray that Christians might be equipped to witness to this community. Islamismul este in crestere ca influienta si numar in Chad. Tot mai multe tarii musulmane trimit misionari catre Chad si tot mai multe moschei sunt construite. Sa ne rugam pentru crestinii de aici ca sa fie echipati sa fie martori in comunitatea lor. ( Operation World)
3) There are more unreached peoples in Chad than anywhere
else in Africa. Pray for ongoing support and protection for missionaries already working here. Pray also that God would call many to dedicate years to learning the languages and building the Kingdom in Chad. In aceasta tara sunt cei mai multi oameni care nu au auzit de Evanghelie decat in orice alta tara din Africa. Sa ne rugam pentru continuarea sustinerii si protectie pentru misionarii care deja lucreaza acolo. Sa ne rugam de asemenea ca Dumnezeu sa cheme si pe altii in Lucrare , care sa dedice ani din viata lor ca sa invete limba si sa ajute la construirea Imparatiei lui Dumnezeu in aceasta tara.
