As we pray over Mauritania we want to seek the Lord for a continued flow of the Good News. As Mauritanians come to know the Lord, may they desire to see others come to know Him.
You have heard me teach things that have been confirmed by many reliable witnesses. Now teach these truths to other trustworthy people who will be able to pass them on to others. Endure suffering along with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
—2 Timothy 2:2-3
Pray that as Mauritanians come to know the Father, Son and Holy Spirit that they would tell others, who will tell others, who will tell others, just like Paul telling Timothy and Timothy telling others, and those others passing it on to still others.
Pray for the Gospel to spread from one generation of believers to the next generation, to the next generation, etc. Pray that as more disciples are made, Jesus will plant His Church. Pray against Satan’s attack on the church. This is what a discipleship making movement is about.
Pray believing Mauritanians would be able to “endure suffering” just like Paul as they become “good soldiers for Christ Jesus.” Persecution in Mauritania is great, so we don’t pray lightly that our brothers and sisters in Mauritania are filled with courage and boldness to stand for their faith in Jesus.
Lord, see how my enemies persecute me! Have mercy and lift me up from the gates of death.
—Psalm 9:13
