Pray for Burundi
Burundi, officially the Republic of Burundi, is a small country in the Great Lakes region of Eastern Africa bordered by Rwanda to the north, Tanzania to the south and east, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the west. Although the country is landlocked, much of the southwestern border is adjacent to Lake Tanganyika. A population of 8.5 million with many people following Christianity.

Revival in the 1950s brought blessing and great church growth, but a generation later the land has been physically, morally and spiritually devastated. The Church is the only institution in the land able to give the point where reconciliation could begin. Only a miracle from God in many hearts will achieve this. Pray for all the satanic enmity, bondage and guilt to be cleansed through the blood of Jesus.
Pray for reconciliation between Tutsi and Hutu and for peace to come to the land. Centuries of oppression and cycles of killings, reprisals and counter-killings have left a legacy of pain and hatred that bode ill for any resolution. The capital is Bujumbura with 600,000. Urbanites are just 12% meaning most live in rural areas. It is also mountainous and yet people are crowed with more than 300 people per sq km.
Also pray for Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda
