“Paul entered the synagogue and spoke boldly there for three months, arguing persuasively about the kingdom of God.” Acts 19:8

Prayer for Movement Team:

Eternal Father, the power of Your Words has shaped the universe from the beginning of time.  Today, we bring you a servant and brother, Zakariya, a leader among students and young men in and around the city of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.  Like the Apostle Pau in Acts 19:8, grant them boldness to enter houses of worship and persuade many about the Kingdom of God and our King Jesus.  Protect them from the evil one and reveal to them the secrets of men’s hearts so that they can prophesy with courage, pray for the sick with faith, speak to the evil strongholds with power, and declare Your mercy to every sinner.  Spark a new spiritual revolution through Zakariya and his team today. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Burkina Faso is a landlocked country in western Africa. A former French colony, the name Burkina Faso means “Land of Incorruptible People.” About nine-tenths of the population is engaged in subsistence agriculture or livestock raising. Difficult economic conditions, made worse by severe intermittent droughts, have provoked considerable migration from rural to urban areas within Burkina Faso and neighboring countries. Furthermore, Burkina Faso is located in a region where Islamist groups have a vast and growing influence.

The central government is fragile, particularly in the east of the country, where Islamic law is informally implemented by Jihadi groups that have gained control. On January 23rd, 2022, Burkina Faso’s army announced on state television that it had ousted President Kabore, suspended the constitution, dissolved the government, and closed its borders. The announcement described Kabore’s inability to unite the West African nation and effectively respond to critical challenges, including the Islamist insurgency.

Now is the time to stand for Burkina Faso and pray for the church in the country to stand firm and cling fast to the imperishable, undefiled, and unfading inheritance waiting for the “Incorruptible ones” in heaven. Ouagadougou, pronounced wa-ga-du-gu, is the capital and largest town of Burkina Faso.
