Keep Mali in your prayers

Mali may not be a “hot spot” on many news channels, but right now it is facing two major crisis.

1. FAMINE- In the Sahel region (area between the Sahara desert and the African jungles where most of Mali is located), there is drought and famine. This article explains the severity of the famine and just how many people are affected. Please pray that famine relief will arrive soon and be enough to supply the needs.

2. Rebel Violence- Northern Mali is a hot spot of rebel activity and it continues to increase. Foreign missionaries have been evacuated and foreigners have been advised to avoid the area at all costs. On Thursday violent rebel groups took over the city of Lere- on the border of Mauritania and the closest to Bamako to be taken over yet. In Bamako we are still considered safe, but are on alert. Please pray for peace the country.
