Afar of Northern Africa

(AH-far) – Husseini, who has suffered unspeakable things during the war and is troubled by violent dreams, can receive healing from Jesus. Her husband and brother both died in the war, and she was driven from her home. Starting over is difficult, and constant fear weighs heavily upon her soul and mind. Pray that she will be able to join a support group and hear the story of Joseph, of God’s faithfulness to Joseph in his suffering and how God used Joseph’s suffering to save His people. Pray that Husseini will understand God’s love for her and Christ’s suffering on her behalf. Pray that she will be transformed by the message of God’s love for her. Pray for the many Afar who have been traumatized by war and displacement. Ask for healing to come through the suffering Christ. Pray for believers to share stories of hope with those who have been traumatized. “Blessed be the God . . . of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God” (2 Corinthians 1:3-4 ESV).
