Strategic prayer

  • Congo has endured intense suffering and exploitation for centuries. Arabs raided the country for slaves, Belgium colonized and exploited the country for 60 years, followed by invations and conflict from neighbouring Rwanda and Burundi.
  • The Church of Christ in Congo (ECC) was a conglomeration forced by government edict in 1970, which artificially bonded conservative Protestants, Pentecostals/charismatics and syncretistic African Initiated Churches, sixty-five denominations in all. The association has however, many benefits. Let’s pray for:
  • Nominal Christians to find new life in Christ
  • The reform of “Revival churches” that peddle a prosperity gospel
  • Syncretism, witchcraft and false teachings to be rooted out of the Church
  • Biblical leadership patterns to replace the cultural tendency toward centralized leadership which has stimulated hierarchical structures and has increased power seeking, pride of position and misuse of funds.
