Chad

PRAYER FOR THIS COUNTRY

Bless Chadians, in the glorious Name of Jesus, as they will vote on December 17 in a referendum to approve a new constitution for the country in a turbulent political transition process.

Bless Chad’s constitutional referendum to change the governance system to be a unitary, non-federal state with increased decentralization and territorial autonomy.

Bless Chad to eliminate the robbing bandits and Boko Haram terrorists from the country and ensure safety and security for the people.

Pray for the persecuted Christian Believers to take a bold stand to defend the Gospel and work towards leading others to Christ (The Bible, Hebrews 4:14)

MORE ABOUT THIS COUNTRY

Mahamat Idriss Déby is the present president and Incumbent Saleh Kebzabo is the current Prime Minister of Chad since 12 October 2022. The government is unitary state with Presidential system. Chad is landlocked in the middle of the continent and is bordered by six neighboring countries. Chad’s population is unevenly distributed in large part due to the variations in climate and physical geography throughout the country. With its fresh water, Lake Chad draws most of Chad’s over 17 million people to the southwest. The dry Saharan climate in the north is the least populated region of Chad. More than half of the population is Muslim, with one-third Christian, and the remainder follow indigenous religious beliefs or have no religion. Most northerners practice Islam, and most southerners practice Christianity or indigenous religions.
