These islands are located just off the Midwestern coast of Africa. This is one of the poorest nations in the world depending heavily on Cocoa production[1]. In this nation, human trafficking is on the increase yet they are taking measures to combat this evil. Let’s pray God’s provision, grace, and salvation over these islands.

-God, we thank you for these islands and for the presence of the Holy Spirit transforming lives here. Father, we pray that you would defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; that you would maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Father rescue the weak and needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.* Lord Jesus, we pray for food, water, clothing, shelter, education, and most importantly a covering of your Holy Spirit over your nation.

-Yeshua we pray for the victims of human trafficking on these islands. God, we pray for angelic protection over each victim and potential victim in this nation. We pray that the fear of the Lord would rest upon these victims, and that your blood Yeshua would shatter their bondage and release freedom. We pray for emotional, mental, and physical healing over the captives. We ask for conviction to fall upon the guilty, and we pray your grace would lead them to repentance, salvation, and restoration. 

-God we lift up the Príncipe islanders, the Angolares, and the Serviçais. Father let your evangelists be led to teach these people groups about salvation in the name of Jesus Christ. We pray for your blood to cover these people groups, that they would seek repentance and salvation. Amen.
