Many of you are aware of the crisis occurring in Mali right now. On March 21st, a coup of soldiers attacked the capital city, primarily to oust the President, who in their opinion did not support their efforts in protecting the north from Tuareg rebels. West African (Ivory Coastneighbors have closed down borders to trade and access to bank accounts giving the coup leaders until today to step down or the country will experience an economic blockade.School to the Nations has a deep connection with many different people in Mali and our hearts are burdened for their safety and continuing spiritual growth throughout this crisis. We are asking you to lift up the country of Mali and pray for peace.
If you would commit to joining us in prayer, here are prayer points to help guide your prayers:
--- that God will provide a peaceful resolution to the conflict, sparing further fighting and potential loss of life
-- for special protection for women and children in Mali as they are often targets of violence and abuse during periods of unrest
-- that God will use the situation to open opportunities for the Gospel to provide hope to Malians who do not know Christ
