God of Truth, Your Word says in Psalm 119:105, “Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light for my path.” Thank You for speaking to us, and for the light Your Word provides when the way forward seems unclear. You have never left Your people to walk alone.
Today, we remember our sister Anjali. Open the Scriptures to her in fresh ways, and may Your voice become familiar in the quiet moments of each day. Give her grace when she is misunderstood for following Jesus. Keep her gentle, faithful, and close to Your heart. A lamp is enough when God is leading the next step.
Bless the churches throughout India. Strengthen pastors serving in villages and cities, and encourage parents who faithfully teach their children the story of Christ. Raise up young disciples who love Your Word and gladly share it with others.
Father, write Your truth upon our hearts. Until every language has heard the Good News of Jesus, keep Your Church faithful. We long for the day when believers from India worship beside every nation before the throne of the Lamb. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
110 City General Focus for September is East Africa
Today: MOMBASA, Kenya
I live in Mombasa, where the waves of the Indian Ocean meet centuries of history. Our city has always been a crossroads — a place where Arabian, Asian, and African cultures have mingled through trade, travel, and time. The narrow streets of the Old Town wind between tall, weathered buildings with carved wooden balconies, and the call to prayer echoes daily from countless mosques.
While most of Kenya is majority Christian, Mombasa is different. Nearly 70% of my neighbors are Muslim, descendants of Swahili families whose roots trace back to Arab traders who settled here long ago. Their influence shapes everything — from our music to our food to the rhythm of life along the coast. This city is rich in beauty and heritage, but it’s also spiritually dry. Many have never heard the name of Jesus spoken with love or seen His power revealed through kindness and truth.
Still, I believe God’s Spirit is moving here. I see small gatherings of believers praying for their city, reaching out to their Muslim friends, and sharing the Gospel one conversation at a time. Mombasa may be a historic trading port, but I believe it will become a harbor for the Kingdom — where the love of Christ flows to the unreached along the Swahili coast and beyond.
Prayer for Today:
Pray for God to raise up workers and peacemakers who bridge divides between Christians and Muslims. (Matthew 5:9)
