Pray for the Kwangali of Namibia
The
Kwangali live along the Kavango River on the northern border of Namibia. They
have a population of around 130,000. Although most Kwangali claim Christianity,
they remain eager to please their traditional god, Nyambi. They have not yet
understood that Jehovah God is a jealous God and demands their entire heart,
soul, mind and strength.
- Pray the Holy Spirit will show the Kwangali that He is the only true God and will empower them to completely renounce their ties to Nyambi, to witchcraft and to ancestor worship.
- Ask God to choose, enable and protect Namibian men and women sharing the salvation of Jesus with the Kwangali.
- Pray God will burden a neighboring people group to take the message of Jesus to the Kwangali.
