Day 23
Algeria
Since Russia launched a warring assault on Ukraine, Algeria cannot completely rely upon the Russian gas imports. Algeria and Italy governments have signed a preliminary deal on energy cooperation. After a meeting with President Abdelmadjid Tebboune of Algeria, Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi announced the deal. Amnesty International is demanding the Algerian government drop charges against a group of activists as they are falsely accused. In fact, they reported exposing gruesome torture and attempted rape of a child in police custody. Pray for the mighty power of God who controls the entire universe to be seen in the lives of the Christian Believers in Algeria. Pray for the Algerians to see the Lord sitting on the throne, lofty and exalted, and open their hearts to Him. Pray for the suffering Algerians to derive their strength from God’s never-ending power and authority (The Bible, Psalm 108:5).
