Lots going on

March 16, 2008: Here are some of the latest prayer requests for Chad:
- 82 of the children staying at Bakan Assalam in Abeche, Chad, have been returned to their home village, to their parents. Please pray for their re-adjustment to the village, and that this experience would bring blessing to their future lives.
- The state of emergency over the whole country has been lifted, and a peace agreement has been signed by Omar Al Bechir, President of Sudan, and Idriss Deby, President of Chad. And yet, troubles still abound. The rebels threaten to attack the oil-rich south, and there are rumors of 200 rebel vehicles crossing the border into Chad last week. Pray for lasting peace, through the Prince of Peace, the only hope of Chad.
- Math teacher and political leader Ibni Omar Mahamat Saleh is still missing. Please pray for the truth to be known about his disappearance, and for his family who has been left behind.
- In N'Djaména, several thousand people have been made homeless as the government tears down hundreds of homes in the Goudji and Farcha neighborhoods. The people of these neighborhoods are majority Gorane, the ethnic group of the leaders of the rebellion forces. Please pray for these families in their suffering, for solutions to their current challenges.
