Good news- after yesterday's post about Burkina Faso, I received a page view from, you guessed it, Burkina Faso. This is great! Hopefully, that person either read about the Truth of Christ on here, or was encouraged by reading that we are praying for movement in their country.
Today's country is another one you probably haven't heard of: Burundi. Burundi is an East African nation with a population of 9,863,117.
Of this almost 10 million people, 67% are actually Christian. Largely Roman Catholic, this is a surprisingly high number for an African nation. 23% have indigenous beliefs, and another 10% are Muslim.
Burundi is a country riddled with disease and very poor. HIV/AIDS is killing many there, as are malaria, rabies, bacterial and protozoal diarrhea, hepatitis A, and typhoid fever. 68% of the country is below the poverty line, and the life expectancy is only in the 50's.
Let's all pray that the Christians of Burundi remain strong, and are set afire to spread the Word throughout the country to the rest of its peoples. Also, let us pray for healing, medical care, and resources for Burundi. I've never heard of Burundi, much less anyone reaching it. Let's hope this changes.
