Challenges for Prayer

Evangelical vision is growing. Despite being small in number (only 2,000 regularly attend an evangelical church), evangelicals in Seychelles have a large vision. All evangelical groups share the goal of saturation church planting throughout the country. Pray for this vision to have a powerful and positive impact on the spiritual life of the nation.
