Pray for Samoa
Samoa is a nation that has been predominantly Christian for over a century. Every village has at least one church in it. Although it has a large Christian presence in it, many of the churches are affected by nominalism. Lives are not always strongly changed to live for Christ with their whole life. Pride and politics rule the hearts and actions of many of the people, causing many to not be sold out to Christ.
The greatest challenge to the Christian belief is the Mormon church that has a very strong presence in the nation. The Mormon church sends more missionaries to Samoa than any other Christian group. This brings about confusion on what being a Christian really means.
Points to pray:
Revival in the church
Discipleship of believers
Strong stand for God’s truth
Sold out hearts to God
