Pray For American Samoa
American Samoa is a small island country in the Pacific Ocean. It is a small nation that is under the control of the United States, though it has its own set of rules, often patterned after those of the US. It was founded as a territory of the US during the world wars to be a base for the military.
Although the nation is predominantly Christian, the church has been heavily influenced by various cults. Many beliefs are found in the churches that are not biblical and are a mix of the cultic beliefs.
Several different Christian groups have been very successful in leading ministries in the nation and building the church there. While ministries have found success at times, the church is in a decline. Many growing up are leaving the church.
Points to pray:
Exposure of false beliefs
Leadership in the churches
Awakening of the churches to God’s truth
Building of the church
Dedication to follow God
