Today we continue prayers for Ivory Coast. Please review pages 284-288. We'll focus on points #7-14 today.
My prayer for today: Lord, we thank You for the work of the mission agencies from Africa within Ivory Coast, and pray for the success of these endeavors. We pray for congregations to understand the importance of sending and for the people's needs to be supplied. We pray for those who haven't heard the Gospel and for the wisdom to reach the underserved sectors with the Gospel. Provide ministry to the refugees. Lord, we pray for wisdom in the challenge of Islam. Help believers understand the importance of humility and love, of developing relationships with Muslims and allowing You to use them to heal the ethnic divide that often determines religious realities. Provide all that is needed in the way of literature and Bible translation. Thank You for Your work in creative media sources and we pray for more music and films to come that present Biblical truths in culturally relevant ways. We lift up Ivory Coast for Your glory, Jesus. Amen.

Prayer for Cote d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast): A 365 Day Global Prayer Journey - May 2 (Day 123)
Today and tomorrow, we pray for Cote d'Ivoire, or the Ivory Coast. This country shows us the reality of the spiritual war that we are all part of whether we realize it or not: church growth and Christian unity, along with strides toward peace, exist alongside a division of religious dynamics, animism, and the spread of Islam. As you read the pages of Operation World, I hope you're coming to see that where God is most strongly at work, there is an enemy trying to stop Him. How grateful I am that He takes the offensive and moves forward! Please read pages 284-288. Today we'll focus on the Answers to Prayer and points 1-6 in our prayer time.
My prayer for today: Lord, we thank You for Your work in Ivory Coast. We thank You for the progress toward peace, the growth of the church, the movement toward stability, the unity of believers. We ask You Lord to raise up leaders who are visionary and free of corruption. We pray You will call believers into leadership positions and root them deeply in Your Word so that they can demonstrate Your love and grace to the country where You've placed them. Lord, bring renewal in the Catholic church. Turn Your followers from the bondage of animism and help them learn the sufficiency of Christ. Lord, I ask for continued success among evangelicals and especially for the progress toward Biblical literacy. Help them understand Your Word. Lord, I pray for the missions agencies to have vision and wisdom to reach this land with the Gospel. In Jesus' name, amen.
