Challenges for Prayer

Vision for the future. Pray for:

a) Growth is evident in the CoN, AoG, CoGoP and more recently in Deeper Life Bible Church from Nigeria, Rhema Church from South Africa and the indigenous Christian Family Centre, International Tabernacle and Faith Christian Fellowship. Most Christian and even evangelical denominations are in decline due to spiritual stagnation and AIDS deaths.

b) The SET vision from 1995 is to double the number of churches in Swaziland by 2015 and increase the average congregation size from 52 to 74.

     For an additional 3 Challenges for Prayer see Operation World book, CD-ROM, or DVD-ROM.
