“Lord, Your Word has gone out to the Laba people but has not taken root: Less than 1% follow Jesus. They have many gospel resources because they speak the national language, yet they remain committed to worshiping the spirits of their ancestors and offering them animal sacrifices. God, please reveal the futility of their worship and help them to accept Jesus’ once-for-all sacrifice. We pray that this year, Your Word will accomplish Your purposes. ‘Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. He sent his word and healed them, and delivered them from their destruction’ (Psalm 107:19-20 ESV).”
