Prayer starter
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. - 1 Corinthians 5:17-21
God, we pray for the city of Asmara, that they would know that through Jesus they can be made new. We pray for shame and guilt to be broken off. We pray for righteousness to be the hallmark of this city. Lord, we ask for Revival to come, for missionaries to be sent out from this place to go and proclaim the message of reconciliation.
