Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso - 110 Cities

Let's broaden our global perspective and pray for the city of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.

Burkina Faso is a landlocked country in western Africa. A former French colony, the name Burkina Faso means "Land of Incorruptible People." About nine-tenths of the population is engaged in subsistence agriculture or livestock raising. Difficult economic conditions, made worse by severe intermittent droughts, have provoked considerable migration from rural to urban areas within Burkina Faso and neighboring countries. Furthermore, Burkina Faso is located in a region where Islamist groups have a vast and growing influence.

The central government is fragile, particularly in the east of the country, where Islamic law is informally implemented by Jihadi groups that have gained control. On January 23rd, 2022, Burkina Faso's army announced on state television that it had ousted President Kabore, suspended the constitution, dissolved the government, and closed its borders. The announcement described Kabore's inability to unite the West African nation and effectively respond to critical challenges, including the Islamist insurgency.

Now is the time to stand for Burkina Faso and pray for the church in the country to stand firm and cling fast to the imperishable, undefiled, and unfading inheritance waiting for the "Incorruptible ones" in heaven. Ouagadougou, pronounced wa-ga-du-gu, is the capital and largest town of Burkina Faso.

Prayer Points:

  • Pray for the spread of the Gospel and for multiplying house churches among the Bambara, Eastern Maninkakan, and Jula people this year.
  • Pray for the gospel SURGE teams for wisdom, protection, and courage as they plant churches.
  • Pray for the advancement of God's Kingdom throughout the 5 languages of this city.
  • Pray for a mighty movement of prayer to be birthed in Ouagadougou that multiplies throughout the country.
  • Pray for a resurrection of God's divine purpose for this city.

Understand the Urgency

February 4, 2025

Disciplemaking Principle: Understand the Urgency of the Task Jesus tells his disciples that we will not know the hour in which he will return, but that we should always be ready. Disciple Making Movements focus on the urgency of the task at hand - all peoples, nations, tribes and languages hearing the good news of Christ.

Rejoice and Sing!

February 3, 2025

Psalm 66:4-7 "Everything on earth will worship you;     they will sing your praises,     shouting your name in glorious songs. Come and see what our God has done,     what awesome miracles he performs for people! He made a dry path through the Red Sea,     and his people went across on foot.     There we rejoiced in him. For by his great power he rules forever.     He watches every movement of the nations;     let no rebel rise in defiance."
