Declaration & Prayer for Sierra Leone
Father, we declare your love over the nation of Sierra Leone and every person who lives there! We pray that the good news of your love expressed through the precious gift of your beloved Son, Jesus Christ, might reach every person in this country.
May there be an awakening of your goodness in the hearts of those who do not yet believe so that they could be born again into your Kingdom. Father we ask that you would also strengthen every believer in Sierra Leone and pour out a greater revelation of your love into their hearts by the power of your Holy Spirit today so that they would truly know they are your sons and daughters.
Thank you Father that you love every person in Sierra Leone and it is your desire for each one of them to find their way home to your heart through the life of your beloved Son. We declare once again that our Father loves Sierra Leone!
In Jesus' mighty name we pray.
Amen
