Pray for the world
Angola Republic of Angola Africa: The
Church, despite great growth, has not emerged unscathed from decades
of conflict. Much prayer is needed, specifically for :a) Christ-like,
holy living by followers of the Lord Jesus that commends the gospel to
unbelievers and passionately reaches out to their disillusioned,
apathetic neighbours – nonpractising Christians number in the
millions. b) Unity in the gospel. There is much new growth among
Independent congregations and groups unaffiliated with any larger
body, but too much work is done in isolation and without partnership.
The Angola Evangelical Alliance links 11 denominations and two
parachurch organizations for coordinated action. The Council of
Christian Churches in Angola (WCC) also draws Christian groups
together.
