Burkina Faso

Praise Points

Praise God for Christian Believers who are persevering even though they face extreme violence if discovered (The Bible, Romans 8:31).

Praise God for the courageous few who still minister to the lost in Burkina Faso (The Bible, Isaiah 54:17).

Prayer Points

Pray for God’s comfort for those suffering for their faith in Jesus Christ in Burkina Faso (The Bible, Romans 8:28).

Pray for God’s Protection for HIS Children in Burkina Faso from jihadists and their influences (The Bible, 2 Corinthians 10:4).

A Call to Salvation

Let the Holy Spirit convict the hearts of the jihadist movement leaders in Burkina Faso. May they fall to their knees and repent to the Lord God Almighty (The Bible, 2 Corinthians 7:10).

Promise for the Nation

The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise, as some understand slowness. Instead He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance (The Bible, 2 Peter 3:9).

Jihadist movements across the Sahel region are wreaking havoc on the Church in West Africa. Burkina Faso is no different. The influence of Islamic extremism endangers Christian Believers and the scope for the Great Commission. Religious violence is steadily increasing in the country. Even areas that do not have extremist jihadists are also not safe for Christians anymore. Burkina Faso is quickly advancing ranks from the 30s two years ago to ranking 20th in the Open Doors Persecution List for 2024.
