Please pray with us for Chad. Rebels are fighting against the army. Thousands of people are fleeing N'djamena, the capital city, and several Western countries are repatriating their nationals. The people of Chad are going through a great deal of suffering.
Augustin Ahoga, IFES Regional Secretary for Francophone Africa, urges us to pray: 'The people of Chad have no escape, whereas the expatriates can flee. Pray for the Lord to overrule in this situation!'
Pray too for Barka Kamnadj, General Secretary of UJC (the IFES student movement in Chad). We haven't been able to contact him. Please pray for grace, strength and peace as he goes through such a trial himself and tries to bring pastoral support to the movement and those around him. Pray that they will know God's presence and be able to see that 'The LORD is [their] rock, [their] fortress and [their] deliverer.' (Psalm 18:2)
In this time of suffering, we remember God's faithfulness to Chad in the past and thank him for the wonderful ways he has used the IFES movement there to pioneer student ministry in eight other countries across Francophone Africa.
