Prayer Fuel

Field Team Daily Prayer Request:

Righteous King, today we pray for entire villages now suffering and in danger in northern Nigeria. As house-church networks work like an underground railroad to move Jesus Followers into safe places, go before them, open secure paths, and guard every family they carry with them.

Psalm 32:7 declares this about You, Lord, and we speak it today on behalf of our brothers and sisters: “For you are my hiding place; you protect me from trouble. You surround me with songs of victory.” We thank You for the miracle-working wisdom You have provided to help these believers build an “underground railroad,” and we ask for Your angel armies to now protect these dear saints. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

110 City Focus for Today: IBADAN, Nigeria

I live in Ibadan, a sprawling city set on seven hills in southwestern Nigeria. Our nation is vast and diverse — from the arid north to the humid forests of the south — and our people reflect that same richness. Over 250 ethnic groups and hundreds of languages make Nigeria a mosaic of cultures and colors. Yet, despite our diversity, we share the same struggles — poverty, corruption, and the longing for peace.

Here in the south, life is busy and full of opportunity. Factories hum, markets overflow, and industries drive the economy. But beyond the city’s activity, many families still live one day at a time, hoping to make enough to survive. In the north, my brothers and sisters in Christ face constant threat from Boko Haram and other extremist groups. Entire villages have been burned, churches destroyed, and countless lives lost. Yet even there, the Church is alive — praying, forgiving, and shining the love of Christ in the face of violence.

Though Nigeria is Africa’s most populous and wealthiest nation, over half our people live below the poverty line, and millions of children suffer from hunger. But I believe this is our moment — a time for the Nigerian Church to rise. Through words, works, and wonders, we are called to bring hope where systems have failed and to proclaim the name of Jesus across every tribe, language, and city. Ibadan may be one city among many, but I believe from these hills, living water will flow across the nation, healing the land and its people.

Prayer for Today:

Pray for the Nigerian Church to rise in unity and power, advancing the Kingdom through love and action. (Ephesians 4:3)
