Day 11: “First”

Posted: 08 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.

"First" is a Christ follower in the Horn of Africa who makes an arduous eight-hour journey twice a month. He hikes the mountain paths for hours in the pre-dawn darkness so he can arrive at the paved road in time to catch local transportation to a small city. Once he arrives, he stays for several days to learn new gospel stories to take back to his village. After making the long hike back to his village he will teach others the stories he has learned about Christ so they can take the same stories to other villages in the area.

Ways to Pray

  • Ask the Father to help "First" remember the gospel stories and Scripture he is learning so he can train and share with others. Pray for God to make the paths clear and to keep "First" safe as he travels back and forth between villages.
  • "First" lives in a very remote area where the gospel is being shared and people are turning to Christ. Praise God and rejoice because the Father is there and working! Pray for Christ-followers to be obedient to share with their family and friends.
