Hot spots to PRAY for: BOTSWANA Challenges for Prayer:
A rapid declining population due to an overwhelming pandemic of aids. Predictions indicate that the population will be below 800 000 (50% of 2006) in 2016 – 50 years after independence.
In some rural areas as many as 90% of all childbirths are illegitimate. 50% of students and 40% of population are HIV/Aids infected. 70% of deaths are accounted to HIV/Aids
Due to the promiscuity and moral declinemany children are left orphans and grow up in households without parental guidance – with all the ramifications of such a situation.
The Tshwanas were the first of the sub-Saharan African nations to respond to the Gospel. A proliferation of missions activities – seeking favour from tribes – lead to big scale nominalism; manifesting in moral decline etc. A real need for Spirit driven revival.
Nominalism, the growth in traditional ethnic and unaffiliated churches became fertile soil for personal focus and blending of culture and dogma.
For more enrollments towards equipping preachers over a wide spectrum to be Biblical trueful servants of the Lord. |
