Once upon a time, a little lightning bug was stuck inside a mason jar, just blinking away. He was completely focused on being the brightest and getting everyone to notice him...until now. The jar was opened, and the little bug is flying away. Every bug seems to be flying toward a bright light near a porch. The light is making a buzz. Instead, our little friend is going big: he's flying for the moon.

Country of the Day: Cameroon
Cameroon is a West African nation, not far from Burkina Faso, where we were the other day. They are wrecked by the HIV/AIDS epidemic, as they rank 14th in deaths from the horrible virus. They have other health concerns, as well as a lack of money, as 48% of the nation falls below the poverty line.
As far as their spiritual health, they are better than some. 40% of the nation claim to be Christian, which is a lot of people. However, in a nation of 19,294,149 people, 60% being not saved means a lot of people headed to Hell if something doesn't change. 40% practice indigenous belief systems, and 20% are Muslim.
Let's pray for the physical healing of Cameroon, and that the HIV/AIDS epidemic can be stopped. Also, let's pray for the lost souls of Cameroon, and that their eyes be opened to the hope of Jesus Christ. Pray that the needs of the people are met, and that the Christians be set on fire for Christ.
