  • Oh Padre, ten misericordia de Tus siervos en Burkina Faso, que ademas de tremenda persecucion que soportan, ahora los atacan con fuerza, hasta la muerte. Pedimos que Tu misericordia se manifieste, y cuides de quienes Te siguen en esas condiciones. Que todos los heridos y quienes huyeron vean Tu proteccion y mano poderosa rescatandolos. Amen

    We seek Your healing power to comfort the families that lost so many family members. We also pray for our own hearts to forgive this evil, and hope they come to Christ. We question why all this animosity towards You, but we know it is the evil one. Please reach into the oppressor's hearts so they can see Your eternal love.
