Stories from Mauritania
How to Pray
01
Pray for basic needs to be met, for access to education, for the justice of all citizens, and for the church to permeate darkness with light.
02
Pray for the millions of lost people in Mauritania to have access to the gospel and to trust in Jesus as Savior and Lord.
03
Pray for Christians who have converted from Islam and are facing extreme persecution. Pray that they would find community with other believers and would persevere in the strength of the Spirit.
04
Unreached people groups live in areas where Christ is unknown and there is little to no local church presence.
Make Jesus known where he’s not yet known.
