Chad is an expansive country with challenging conditions that make it difficult for disciple makers to travel between villages. Extreme desert terrain, wild elephant attacks, venomous snakes, and other dangers are constant obstacles. Additionally, Christian leaders often face opposition from Animistic Muslims who seek to stop the spread of the Gospel. As these leaders travel to encourage established groups and simple churches and to share the Gospel in unreached areas, Father, we pray Your protection and perseverance for them. We pray for Chad and neighboring countries where the Gospel is advancing, and we ask You to use these challenges to strengthen Your Church and grow Your Kingdom in West Africa.
