Cote d’Ivoire – Joseph Oulai
With the political crises in Cote d’Ivoire, the Islamic bank is funding national great projects and building at least 2 mosques in the surrounding of each church and in every village.
From 34% of Muslims some years ago, we are now at 66% today. 80% of trade and transport are into their hands, and their dream is to have a representative as president of the country in order to establish the Islamic law.
Even now, some pastors and many Christian have become Muslim just because of social welfare and the micro-projects that the Islamic bank finances.
Pray that the Holy Spirit may generate many conversions among the Muslims through evangelism, films projection and good testimony of Ivorian Christians.
Pray that God may provide for the needs of Christians so that they may support their pastors and the ministry.
Pray that Christian business men and women may come to invest in the country.

After visited some countries (Burkina, Mali, Ghana and Guinea), we noticed the difficult living condition of pastors. The monthly salary of some pastors can’t even reach $ 20 .
Pray for material and financial support for these pastors (clothes, scholarship for their children “copybooks, school uniforms, pens…”).
Pray that we may have enough sponsors for pastors on the waiting list.
