- Pray for Congo. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), the Islamic extremist group Alliance for Democratic Forces (ADF) violently persecutes Christians in the east of the country. In 2021, the government announced a state of siege in the northeastern provinces to curb the ADF’s attacks on communities and churches, but it was not effective. Pray that God would work through the leaders of the DRC to bring an end to the violence perpetrated by the ADF.
