Day 22
Ethiopia
Bless Ethiopia, in the mighty Name of Jesus, for using federalism as the system of government. However, it’s not perfect because of power of the power-sharing between a central authority and smaller regional governments.
Bless Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and President Sahle-Work Zewde with divine grace to push for political reform and economic stability and end the conflict in the country.
Bless the young population of Ethiopia to rise and emerge as an equipped and empowered generation and understand the love of God.
Pray that the Ethiopian Churches will prioritize training young people in leadership and providing Bibles to them (The Bible, Psalm 35:9).
Ethiopia is now in 39th position in the World Watch Report 2023 by Open Doors for Christian persecution. The current president of Ethiopia is Sahle-Work Zewde, and the Prime Minister is Abiy Ahmed. It was the country’s first free and fair election. However, an opposition boycott, the war in the northern region of Tigray, ethnic violence, and logistical challenges in some areas overshadowed the election. The ongoing armed conflict in Tigray in Northern Ethiopia has left many dead and injured and about two million people displaced.
