Guinea-Bissau

PRAYER FOR THIS COUNTRY

Praise Points

We praise God for His abundant blessings in natural resources for Guinea-Bissau (The Bible, Isaiah 7:22).

We praise God for keeping Guinea-Bissau open for Kingdom Workers (The Bible, Romans 13:11).

We praise God for the relative calm in the country compared to the rest of the countries in the region (The Bible, Isaiah 26:12).

Prayer Points

Pray for a new generation of government leaders to establish critical economic infrastructure such as railways (The Bible, 1 Corinthians 1:9).

Pray for God to raise His children to establish quality education for a country where over 43% of the population is under 15 (The Bible, Proverbs 1:7).

A Call to Salvation

Guinea-Bissau has a very young population, and most have not heard of the Gospel Message of JESUS CHRIST! Pray for Kingdom Workers to devise innovative ways to reach this youthful population (The Bible, Isaiah 51:4).

Promise for the nation

But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are his house, if indeed we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope in which we glory (The Bible, Hebrews 3:6).

MORE ABOUT THIS COUNTRY

Guinea-Bissau is a West African country that borders the Atlantic Ocean on the west. The country, if managed effectively, can be self-reliant. They have food resources from cash crops like Palm Oil, Cashews, Peanuts, Potatoes, and Beans. They also have excellent livestock, poultry, and seafood. Guinea-Bissau has rich deposits of Bauxite and Phosphates. There is also the scope for offshore oil drilling. However, the government must be more educated and competent to maximize the economic output. Instead, they are one of the poorest countries in the world, with a drastic decrease in organized criminal activities. It is fast becoming the trafficker’s haven for drugs, weapons, and human trafficking.
