France

• As Zechariah states, pray that it would be “not by might nor by power, but by the LORD Almighty and his Spirit” that the French people would turn their lives over to Him, that they would receive Him and follow Him. (Zechariah 4:6)
• Praise and declare with the church in France that God reigns. He has all authority and is worthy of worship and our whole lives. Pray that the church will unite in Him.
• France’s global leadership has been somewhat diminishing in recent years.  Pray that God would bring France back to Himself and, as St. Remi prophesied, that France would be a defender of the things of Christ and His Kingdom.

Egypt

• Pray that Egypt will be a “sign and witness to the LORD Almighty,” that many Egyptians will “cry out to the LORD” and that the “LORD will make himself known” to them.  (Isaiah 19:20-21) 
• Recently, the Church in Egypt has started to grow more in unity. This is very positive. Pray that unity would continue to develop among this people. 
• God is doing something among the Egyptian Christian children. They have been meeting together to pray. May God continue to bring prayer and praise from the lips of the children and allow the little ones to come unto Him. 
• Keep “asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you [Egyptians] the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.” (Ephesians 1:17)

Bosnia-Herzegovina

• Separation and division of peoples has been an issue in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Pray for the churches to come together in greater unity, without lines of denomination, for as the Lord reminds us, “By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." (John 13:35)
• Pray for a greater spirit of repentance and forgiveness to be flowing from His people. 
• Pray that the church in Bosnia-Herzegovina will not look back at the past but forward to the future, fulfilling their commission and mission for their country.

Algeria

• Pray that more Arabs would come to know the Lord.
• Pray for the Kabyle church to send out effective witnesses to the rest of Algeria. Pray for several local Bible schools that are training believers to serve in the church and around the country. 
• Pray for increased freedom to worship and proclaim the Lord Jesus Christ. Recently, the government has established laws prohibiting evangelization and illegal religious meetings.

Albania

• Pray that the eyes of Albanians will be opened and that they will move from darkness to light.
• Pray for unity among Christians and between churches.
• Pray that Albanian Christians will have a desire to know God better and to share His truth with others.
