Day 10: Unity Posted: 07 Mar 2012 10:00 PM PST During this Secret Church on Good Friday, April 6, we are focusing our prayer time on the people of the Horn of Africa. Throughout the weeks leading up to Secret Church we will post information and prayer requests on this blog. We invite you to join us in learning about and praying for the people of the Horn. Photo Courtesy of the IMB The few Somali and Afar believers in Djibouti are often isolated and suffer many pressures from relatives. Their families may ostracize, beat or even kill them for deserting Islam. There are many disruptive forces such as tribalism and jealousy that create division among the believers and make them reluctant to meet together. Small groups of local believers are gathering for fellowship.  Several evangelical fellowships exist among the immigrant groups flooding Djibouti in recent years. Many of these congregations share a strong spiritual burden to reach the Somali and Afar peoples. Ways to Pray Pray that Christ-followers might stand firm in their commitment to follow Jesus. Pray for a bond of unity among believers. Pray for effective use of the Scriptures when believers meet together and for the Holy Spirit to work in each person's life. Pray that God will raise up strong Christian leaders from among and for the Somali and Afar believers. Pray that immigrant fellowships may be relevant and effective in their witness to Afar and Somali peoples.
