Today’s prayer

On the Zanzibar archipelago, in Tanzania, Christians are in the minority. They often find themselves unfairly treated because of their faith and even feel pressure to convert to Islam. Praise God for a team of Christian workers from CMS and CMS-Africa who are supporting Jesus-followers to live out their faith in all areas of life.Pray for team members to be strengthened individually and as a whole. Pray for them to be of one heart and mind, unified in their passion and mission to serve God and fellow Christians. Pray for the Holy Spirit to move powerfully in people’s hearts and for signs to follow those who believe (Mark 16:17-18), so that Christians’ faith is strengthened and so that more people choose to follow Jesus.

Our prayers are shared daily on our Facebook feed
