Father, I thank you for the progress for your glory that has been made in Botswana. I continue to lift the believers there up in prayer. I pray especially for those affected by AIDS, both those suffering from the disease itself and those who are left orphaned or widowed. I pray also for those who have yet to be reached in Botswana. I also pray for the discipleship of those who have heard the gospel and pray that those who are not adhering to Christ’s moral standards would be convicted and transformed.
Father,
In the Name of Jesus, cast out satan from the
presence of Botswanna. Do not allow him to
rule this nation. These people have known of
you and yet they have bought a lie that
satan has given. Jesus come and save them.
Let your gospel spread to the hearts of these people
so that they might know why they should abstain from
sex outside of marriage, and that they might be healed both physically and spiritually. Raise up leaders and grant this nation peace in thier hearts. In Jesus name, amen.
