(dah-KAR) – “Following months of preparation, working together, and getting to know one another, all with two goals in mind–to evangelize the population in the suburban region east of Dakar and to plant a church there–the ‘Zone 6’ group has just decided to begin gathering as a church,” workers write. “The area is strategic, as it’s expected to grow by about 5 million people in the next 10 years. Now, when we go out talking with people, we’ll have a church meeting to which we can invite them. And the members who live in the area will have a local church body–praise the Lord! Please pray for this effort, as it’s certain that the evil one will not want it to succeed or grow. Pray that we may be of one heart and mind, ‘[devoting ourselves] to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers’ (Acts 2:42 ESV). Pray, too, that we can purchase a building or land to have a permanent location and avoid the power of eviction by other-religion landlords. Pray that our hearts will be fully committed to the task of introducing the kingdom of God to those who walk in darkness (Isaiah 9:2).”
