Please pray for north-east Mozambique and the conflict between an Islamist insurgent group and the Mozambican security forces trying to contain it. BBC News reports that half a million people have been displaced by the extreme violence and live in refugee camps of tens or hundreds of thousands of people; towns have been under siege; and women and girls have been kidnapped. Pray that God would bring peace to the area and relief for the victims of this violence. Pray that Christians would courageously follow Jesus and know that God is with them in their suffering. Pray that the perpetrators would turn from their violent ways, and that even in this terrible situation many would find healing, peace and forgiveness in Christ.
