Senegal is an atypical African country that defies most people’s expectations.
Due to the level of religious freedom, Christians are able to worship freely and evangelize. The New Testament has recently been translated into seven languages and seventeen other translations are in the works. Though ninety percent of the population claims the Islamic faith, Christianity is starting to take hold as hearts remain open in the Senegalese people.
- Pray for spiritual breakthroughs amidst the Muslim majority, many of whom are powerful, well-organized and increasingly aggressive.
- Pray for the few evangelical believers to persevere while boldly living out their faith and for Muslims to come to Christ as a result.
- Pray for indigenous churches to be planted among many unreached people groups scattered throughout the nation.
