Reading and Listening
Chadian Arabs: Pray for several patients and families at G2 who have shown interest in learning more about Jesus, including those who have begun reading the New Testament and those continuing to listen to Christian radio after returning home. These individuals are engaging with Scripture in different ways. Pray that God would speak to them clearly through His Word and through what they hear. Ask that their curiosity would grow into faith and transformation.
Father and Son
Chadian Arabs: Pray for a former patient who has returned to the G2 hospital after a long stay some years ago. During his previous time, he had opportunities to learn about Jesus, and now he has come back with his son and is open to hearing more. Pray that these renewed connections would allow for continued discipleship and encouragement. Ask that both father and son would grow in understanding and respond to the good news.
