Prayer starter
I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth. - John 17:15-19
Lord, it is just amazing that you have people everywhere, even if sometimes they are few in number. I pray for the church in Dakar, Senegal, that you protect them from evil, that you sanctify them in your truth, that you make them know you more deeply. Use them as instruments of mercy and love, let them be lights in their city. Send them out to those that do not know you and open the hearts and mind of the people they talk about you with, that they can come to believe in you and be saved.
