Followers of Jesus who are actively sharing their faith during these exciting days have requested two specific types of prayer:

(1). Intercede for individuals who are having difficulty understanding how a God Who loves them would allow terrible things, like physical and sexual abuse, to happen to them. Pray they will be able to trust God enough and be so overwhelmed by His love expressed through His Son that their strongest desire will be to have a relationship with Him.
(2). Intercede for young South African Christians who have been working alongside foreign volunteers. Pray they will have self confidence and realize they are empowered by the Holy Spirit to share their faith just as effectively after the volunteers leave. Pray for them to persevere and to be motivated to both share their faith and disciple new believers.
