Lord, we know that what happens to Christians in Ethiopia breaks Your heart – particularly when groups who claim Your name harm other believers. We ask for unity and a joyful spirit among all followers of Jesus in Ethiopia. We pray for protection for Christians, especially those who are at daily risk because where they live is unstable. We also ask for hope for converts from Islam, that they would know the love of brothers and sisters around the world even if they lose their earthly families. We ask this in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.
