Thanks for your prayers for Sudan during this important time there. See below for a bit more information.

The country for this week is also one that is split along Muslim/Christian lines but remains as one country. That is Nigeria.
The Northern half is Muslim. The Southern half is Christian.

Please pray for God to move mightily across Nigeria this week; that people will get a clear understanding of who Jesus is and will open their hearts to His great love.

Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa, the eighth most populous country in the world, and the most populous country in the world in which the majority of the population is black. [Wikipedia]
.
Pray for Nigeria.


All praise to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords - King Jesus
