What wings are to a bird,
and sails are to a ship,
so is prayer to the soul.
Corrie Ten Boom

GLOBAL PARTNERS
Malawi from Bishop Fanuel:
- Bishop Reed, Fr. Petta, Fr. Worley and Walter Virden will visit Malawi after GAFCON, April 21-28. There will be a Clergy Conference as part of the mission teams activities. Please pray for the team and for the conference that it will further the unity among the clergy of the diocese.

FOR THE PERSECUTED AND
SUFFERING CHURCH
WORLD WATCH LIST
Church in Afghanistan:
- Christian persecution is extreme in all speres of public and private life in Afghanistan since the Taliban took over the capital in August of 2021. This is the first time Afghanistan has been Number 1 on the World Watch List.
Church in Nigeria:
- Persecution is brutally violent in much of Northern Nigeria. Christians live their lives under constant threat of attack from Boko Haram, the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) and Fulani militants who kidnap and murder with few consequences. Nigeria is Number 7 on the World Watch List.
WAYS TO PRAY FOR THE PERSECUTED CHURCH
• Pray that persecuted believers will sense God’s presence. (Heb. 13:5)
• Pray that they will feel connected to the greater Body of Christ. (1 Cor. 12:20, 26)
• Pray that they will have more opportunities to share the Gospel. (Col. 4:3)
• Pray that they will love and forgive their persecutors. (Matt. 5:44)
• Pray that they will be strengthened through the prayers of fellow believers. (Jude 20,22)
