A call to pray, a call to act

To my non-somali friends.

With so many people all over the world with their various problems, you might ask, "Why Somalia?" I have heard many say that we have enough problems in the U.S. that we need to resolve before seeking to intervene in the rest of the world. While that may be true insofar as politics goes, it is far from the scriptural truth when it comes to spiritual needs. The people in Somalia are lost and dying. They need to hear of God's love and grace.

I will, in the near future, post some information here about Somalia to give you a better picture of what the country is like. But for now, let me tell you that they are 100% Muslim, required by law, though in reality, a VERY tiny percentage of Christians exist. The country is the highest ranking on the human suffering index and life expectancy is only in the 40's. The country suffers from drought, lack of food, and continual fighting among the various factions seeking control.

There are some Somali believers out there. Many of them are bold about their faith. They face toture and death, but they will not relent because they refuse to deny their Savior. They need encouragement. They need support. They need your prayers. Please commit to lift up our Somali brothers and sisters each and every day and to lift up the many who have yet to know Him.
