30-Days of Prayer for the Muslim World Ramadan 2007 / 1428: September 13 - October 12
Pray God's Heart for the Lost
- in Djibouti, Eastern Africa
For Wednesday, 3 October, Ramadan 2007. "Loving Muslims Through Prayer"
This dry, desert enclave on the Red Sea coast of Africa between Ethiopia and Somalia is reputed to be the world’s hottest country. Plagued by drought and limited natural resources and industry, this country suffers from at least 50% unemployment.
Djibouti is ethnically diverse, due to its strategic location at the crossroads of trade and commerce. Ethnic Somalis make up 60% of the people, 35% are Afar, with French, Arab, and other minorities making up the remaining five percent. The Somali and Afar tribes in this region were among the first in the Africa to adopt Islam.
Among the Somalis, there are a few small groups of Christians that meet together. They tell of wonderful dreams which they have had, about how the Messiah handed them His Word while giving them water to drink and fruit to eat, and telling them not to worry, that He will care for them. Dreams are very important to the Somali believers because they cannot read. God uses his own means to speak to them.
Let us believe together that united prayers will bring blessing to the city (Jeremiah 29:7).

+ YouTube Video Link: 1:09, Short video of Djibouti downtown
+ Hear two Gospel programs in Afar for Djibouti

Prayer Points:
* In the past, tribalism and factions and leadership struggles have split them apart the different ethnic groups. A civil war (1991-1994) officially ended in 2001. In order for this not to happen again mutual respect and vision for the future are needed.
* Pray that the city of Djibouti will become a haven of true peace, and a lighthouse, shining into Somalia, Ethiopia, and the Middle-East.
* Several Christians have been able to give practical help through education, literacy, agricultural and translation programs. Pray that these efforts will bear much fruit.
* Pray for the establishment of indigenous churches among the Afars and the Somalis. There are daily Gospel radio broadcasts in the Afar and Somali languages.
