Day 10
Benin
Benin is a nation being destroyed spiritually by voodoo, spiritism, and witchcraft. In November, France returned ancient artifacts to Benin. We pray that the people of Benin will repent of ungodly worship activities and open their hearts to the one, true, living God. We pray for believers in Benin to be thankful that God has saved them through the precious blood of Jesus Christ, not by their own righteousness (The Bible, Titus, 3:5-6).

Patrice Guillaume Athanase Talon is a Beninese politician and businessman who has been President of Benin since 6 April 2016. An economist and investment banker turned politician, Lionel Zinsou was appointed Prime Minister of Benin in June 2015. Benin is best known for its peaceful democracy, one of the most stable in Africa. However, corruption remains a significant issue. The country, once hosting main ports crucial in the slave trade, still negotiates shady deals. Poverty increases each year. At the start of this year, the government made moves to effectively exile all political opposition. This resulted in massive public protests, with unrest continuing for some months.
