  • Pray that chiefs, religious leaders, and elders will follow Christ as a catalyst for a greater movement.
  • Pray that whole villages and communities come to Christ, beginning a church planting movement among Jolas.
  • Pray that medical, nutritional, and other health needs be met among people with no money for medicine or food!
