Predominant Religion: Catholic

Equatrorial Guinea is located on the coast of West Africa and face an ever growing gap between the wealthy, and the extremely poor.  Part of this reason can be attributed to the corrupt government’s lack of knowledge in handling money from the Western oil companies.

Political freedoms are also limited.

Pray for the nation to regain economic and political stability and that the gospel of Christ would be shared despite their hardships.

Located on the African continent by the Red Sea, Eritrea is a troubled nation with unresolved border disputes between themselves and Ethiopia.

Intense government oppression through forced military service, persecution, and extreme poverty cause most of the population to flee the small country. Despite the obstacles, a house church movement continues to grow.

Please pray courage would rise among those who are persecuted from both fellow Eritreans and the government and that they would unashamedly share Christ.

Located west of Russia, Estonia faces extreme poverty, yet has a plethora of religious freedoms and opportunities. Although this is good news for the Evangelicals, Mormons currently have the country’s missionary majority.

Pray that the truth will shine through the people of Estonia and Evangelicals will be able to increase their numbers.
