In 1992, stability in El Salvador was established after the end of a 12 year civil war which cost the nation 75,000 lives[1]. The nation’s population is on the decline and 35% of the population live in poverty[2]. Finally, El Salvador is a source, transit, and destination country for women and children trafficked for the purposes of commercial sexual exploitation and forced labor[3]. We pray for...

-The Holy Spirit to bind the work of the enemy in society. Rain down your spirit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.* We ask that the lost would come to know you Jesus and repent of their sins.   

-The care of your orphans and foster children God. Renew their faith daily in you Father. Lord Jesus, let your mercy be great with the children in El Salvador. 

-A just distribution of the wealth in El Salvador. 

-Those who are poor in the eyes of this world to be rich in faith and inherit the kingdom that you God promised to those who love you.**

-Clean drinking water for all people in El Salvador. 

-God’s churches to be financially and spiritually equipped to raise up new leaders for El Salvador. 

-A release for the trafficked victims in El Salvador. We pray that you would set free the oppressed in this nation. We press forward in your grace and ask for mental, emotional, and physical healing over the captives through the blood of your son Yeshua. We ask that the captive would hear your word and accept your saving grace Jesus. Holy Spirit, we ask that you would convict the guilty of their sins and lead them to repentance, salvation, and the plans you have for them.       

-The ports of El Salvador to be cleansed by the Holy Spirit, & that no drug shipments would come through those ports. We pray for the producers of these drugs to come to repentance in the name of Jesus Christ. We pray for addictions to be broken off drug users through the mighty name of Jesus!
