While the nation of Cameroon has a steady flow of oil exports and favorable agricultural conditions, this economy struggles on many levels including an unequal distribution of income[1]. About 5% of this nation suffers from HIV/Aids (1,132,360) while 48% lives below the poverty line, and 30% of the population is unemployed[2]. This nation also finds many divisions between its people through languages and faiths. Finally, Cameroon is a source, transit, and destination country for the human trafficking of women and children for the purposes of forced labor and commercial sexual exploitation[3]. God’s creation is being sexually exploited and forced into labor. Let’s fight on behalf of God’s incredible creation.

-Father in Heaven, you see the sins of mankind. Lord Jesus, send your Holy Spirit and convict this world of guilt in regard to sin, righteousness, and judgment. Let there be no excuses for those covered in sin as they stand before the king of kings on the Day of Judgment. We pray for those involved in human trafficking in Cameroon. Lord Jesus, break the scales from their eyes that they might know the depth of their sin. Free them Lord Jesus. Free your captives Lord Jesus! Free the women and children who are poor in the eyes of the world, and let them be rich in faith so they may inherit the kingdom that you God promised to those who love you. We pray for mental, emotional, and physical healing over the captives in Jesus name.* 

-God, we lift up those not covered in the blood of Jesus Christ. Lord Jesus, through your mercy we pray for each unsaved Cameroonian.  Bring them to repentance and a passionate desire for the one and only Savior Jesus Christ.    

-Jehovah-Rapha, our healer, send your Holy Spirit to bring a spiritual cleansing and wash away any diseases or sicknesses in the name of Jesus Christ! Let the faith of your creation in our Savior Jesus Christ spread throughout all of Cameroon, and may your name Yeshua receive all the glory. 

-God we lift up the governmental leaders of Cameroon and pray that you would help align them towards the direction you have for their lives. Use them to your design Jesus so they may glorify your name. Give them vision and a heart of action to balance the wealth distribution in Cameroon. Lord Jesus, we pray for the poor, the unemployed, and the oppressed; that they might find salvation in the Lord of Lords and King of Kings Jesus Christ. Help them to be faithful with all the talents you have given them Jesus! 

-God we lift up the division amongst fellow citizens of this nation. Help break down walls and language barriers for the glory of your gospel. Let your word be like fire, my Lord, and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces.** Let your word destroy divisions in the name of Jesus Christ. Let your body stand united in your nation of Cameroon, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ we pray!
