Prayers for Country and Community

Today we will pray for Peru. Population: 29,496,120

95% Christian 11.6% Evangelical

7.7% Unreached People Groups

Evangelicals grew strong during times of violence, even though the army and the guerrilla fighters between them martyred 750 evangelical leaders and put others in

prison on false charges. The first evangelical church began over 100 years ago. There were 78,000 evangelicals in 1960, and 3.4 million in 2010. However, there

are sharp divisions between denominations. Pray that believers would focus on unity, discipleship, accountability, and quality teaching. Pray for a new work of

the Holy Spirit to reignite the Church.

We will also pray for The Rock Church, Gonzales and their Pastor, Blake Melancon.
