Prayer Fuel

God of Peace, we come to You for our brother Bekzod, asking for Your strength to sustain him in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Strengthen him as he mentors young disciples, training them to spread the Good News and multiply Your Kingdom. In those moments of weariness, be with Him we pray.

Your Word says in Matthew 11:28-30 that we should come to You when “weary and burdened,” and You will give us rest, for Your yoke is “easy,” and Your burden is “light.” Let Bekzod feel the lightness of Your yoke. Lift his spirit with Your peace when the days grow long. Make him a source of encouragement to others who labor quietly in Your name throughout Uzbekistan. Grant hearts that persist in love. Comfort those who serve silently, letting them know their labor is seen by You. May the believers in Tashkent be filled with unending love for their neighbors and each other. Uphold Bekzod with the assurance that his work has eternal value. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

110 City General Focus for September is East Africa

Today: ADIS ABABA, Ethiopia

Each morning, I wake up in Addis Ababa, the heart of Ethiopia. From my window, I see our city sprawled across the highlands, surrounded by green hills and distant blue mountains. The cool air carries the sounds of a waking city — cars, laughter, and the faint echo of church bells mingling with the call of street vendors.

Addis is alive with movement. As our nation’s capital, it’s the center of learning, industry, and leadership — where decisions shape not only Ethiopia but much of East Africa. In the streets, I hear languages from every corner of our land. People come here from the deserts, the mountains, and the valleys — each bringing their story, their hopes, and their prayers.

My grandparents remember a different Ethiopia. In 1970, barely 3% of our people followed Jesus — fewer than one million believers. But today, the Church has multiplied beyond imagination. Over 21 million Ethiopians now worship Christ. In villages, cities, and remote regions, songs of praise rise like incense. Revival is not a story from the past — it’s happening now.

We are the most populous nation in the Horn of Africa, and I believe God placed us here for a reason — to be a sending people, a light to the nations around us. From my small corner in Addis Ababa, I can sense it: God is stirring our nation to carry His love beyond our borders — from the highlands to the Horn, from our city streets to the ends of the earth.

Prayer for Today:

Pray for young people to rise as bold disciples who bring transformation in every sphere of society. (Joel 2:28)
