Prayer Points

Pray for the violent conflict to end in Myanmar and for the restoration of democracy in the land (The Bible, Psalm 126:4).

Pray for God’s Comfort on the Christians evicted from their homes and forced to live in the jungles. Pray for God’s supernatural provision for them (The Bible, 1 Kings 17:6).

Pray for a revival throughout Myanmar and for God to raise a new generation of Christian Believers from the youth in the country (The Bible, Psalm 107:37).

A Call to Salvation

Let the military junta and other destabilizing elements in Myanmar be dismantled supernaturally. Let their supply chains be scattered, and let everyone bow down before the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords (The Bible, Psalm 72:11).

Promise to the Nation

For I tell you, you will not see Me again until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord.'” (The Bible, Matthew 23:39).

Myanmar is a Southeast Asian country. The 2021 coup in the country by the military junta destabilized the country to the point of widespread poverty and civil war. After years of tolerating the atrocities against them, tribal minorities banded together and made significant progress in their military conquest. The military junta is hunting and evicting Christians indiscriminately. The majority of the Christians in the tribal areas are not participating in the armed conflict. However, there are a few who are. Their participation makes the entire population vulnerable to military action by the junta. Christian pastors, leaders, aid workers, social workers, and evangelists have died in this conflict. The staunch Buddhist country shows signs of opening up to the Gospel of Jesus Christ after the 2021 coup; particularly, the Burmese youth are exploring other faiths. The Kingdom Harvest in Myanmar is ready for gathering. Myanmar ranks 17th in the Open Doors Persecution List of Nations for 2024.

Praise Points

Praise God for the perseverance of new Christian Believers in Ethiopia especially those who converted from Islam (The Bible, Romans 8:35).

Praise God for Christian ministries who operate in Ethiopia despite the danger to their lives (The Bible, 2 Thessalonians 1:4).

Prayer Points

Pray for the Gospel of Jesus Christ to reach the rural areas where the Muslim population is high (The Bible, Mark 16:15).

Pray for God’s comfort for those who faced physical harm or lost a loved one to persecution. Pray for the Holy Spirit to encourage them to be steadfast in their faith in Jesus Christ (The Bible, 2 Corinthians 1:3-4).

Pray for the healing of our Ethiopian Sisters who suffered at cruel hands. Pray for the restoration of their peace in Jesus Christ. Pray for the Holy Spirit to move the tormentors’ hearts to accept the Gospel of Jesus Christ (The Bible, Deuteronomy 7:19).

A Call to Salvation

Let all those who scheme to harm God’s Children in Ethiopia have the road to Damascus experience and turn away from their evil ways (The Bible, Jeremiah 15:19).

Promise to the Nation

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose (The Bible, Romans 8:28).

Ethiopia is an East African country with deep roots in Christianity. However, traditionalism and Islamic radicalization are making this country an extremely hostile place for Christian Believers. The Ethiopian Orthodox Church’s traditionalists pose a threat to congregations that are more active in the Great Commission work. In other areas, the Islamic radicals are a severe threat to Christians. Ethiopian Christians have lost their lives in the past year for their faith. The government is corrupt and is not adequate to handle the country’s affairs with integrity anymore. The country’s stability is dependent on regional leaders. The Open Doors Persecution List ranks Ethiopia at 32, moving up eight places in 2024.
