“I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. Mark 11:23-24 NIV
Can prayer move the mountains of resentment and unforgiveness in Burundi? Esther and I had the privilege of traveling to Burundi last June to teach on prayer, reconciliation, and evangelism. We discovered a prayer movement in progress. Many Christians in Burundi have a passion for the Lord I have seen only rarely. This is amazing, especially when one considers their civil war of 20 years ended only last year. This is a people who have very little in the way of material possessions. Burundi is rated as one of the 10 most poorest nations in the world. The number of orphans and widows following the civil war is staggering. However, they possess a deep faith rooted in prayer and the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Grace Extended Ministries has been asked by a large church in Burundi to mentor, train, and equip their leaders in prayer, reconciliation, and evangelism so that they might further the gospel in Burundi and neighboring countries. They know the hope of the future of Burundi lies in Jesus Christ. Our plans are to return to Bujumbura, Burundi in April and then again in August to begin this process.
Please pray for Burundi and for us as we come alongside the Christian leaders of this nation in an effort to reach Burundi for Christ.
