In Niger, the cultural pressure to maintain the Islamic faith continues to hinder outreach efforts, though indigenous pastors, many of whom have converted to Christianity from Islam themselves, are stepping up as leaders in the fledgling church.  Niger still has the taste of political freedom on their tongue. 

• Pray for boldness for these indigenous pastors in evangelizing their own people.
• Pray for speed and accuracy for the workers translating the Scriptures for many barely reached people groups.
• Pray for a visible Christian presence in society and peace among struggling believers who feel isolated.

• Ask that the heavens be opened at the Sunday School retreat which runs today through tomorrow. Pray for divine equipment for acceptable service.
• Ask for unusual encounter with the Lord at the Foursquare Women International Easter Retreat.
