Prayer Fuel

Field Team Daily Prayer Request:

Lamb of God, today we lift up “Sulamein” and his work in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. Thank You for the sacrifice of this young man and the teams that he leads. We ask that You would grant them supernatural wisdom and understanding as they share Your great Name among those who have come to the city for training.

In Revelation 21:22–23, we see Jesus—You, as the Lamb of God—are the lamp, the light that shines in the city of God. From the beginning of time to the end, You are light. We ask that Your light would shine on “Sulamein” and his church planting team today. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

110 City Focus: Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso

I live in Burkina Faso, the “Land of Incorruptible People.” My nation is full of resilience — farmers tilling the dry soil, families tending livestock, and children laughing under the wide West African sky. Yet life here is not easy. Most of us live off the land, and when the rains fail, hunger follows. Many have left their villages in search of work or safety, some crossing borders into neighboring countries.

But today, our greatest struggle is not the drought — it is fear. Islamist groups have spread across the north and east, bringing terror and control. In many places, the government’s reach is weak, and Islamic law is enforced by those who hold power through violence. Churches have been burned, pastors kidnapped, and believers forced to flee. Even so, the Church remains, meeting quietly, praying earnestly, and holding fast to the hope we have in Jesus.

When the military seized power in 2022, many hoped for peace, but instability still hangs heavy in the air. Yet I believe God is not finished with Burkina Faso. In the ashes of fear, He is raising faith. In the silence of the desert, His Spirit is whispering hope. I pray that our land — once known for integrity — will again be known for righteousness, as our people turn to the Prince of Peace who cannot be overthrown.

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.
