Today's country is Burkina Faso. If you're like me, you've never heard of it. It's a Colorado-sized country on the west coast of Africa. Now we've both learned something today.
Burkina Faso is 50% Muslim, and another 40% of their population practice indigenous (local) beliefs. A mere 10% proclaim to be Christian (Roman Catholic, mostly).
My prayer for Burkina Faso is that the ten percent professing to know Christ have a fire lit under them, and they are able to spread the Good News like a wildfire. This is not a case of a hostile nation toward Christianity, just one without a Savior. This is a nation that has around 14.6 million lost souls. I hope you extend your prayers out to them.
