Prayer for the Nations - Ethiopia
Introduction to Ethiopia:
Ethiopia, located in the Horn of Africa, is a country rich in history, culture, and Christian heritage. Known as one of the oldest nations in the world, it’s home to stunning landscapes, ancient churches, and unique traditions. The Ethiopian Orthodox Church has played a significant role in shaping the nation’s Christian identity, but in recent years, evangelical movements have also grown rapidly. However, Ethiopia faces challenges such as poverty, ethnic conflict, and political instability, which affect its people and the spread of the gospel. With over 120 million people, Ethiopia is the second most populous country in Africa, making it a critical mission field for the gospel.
This week, we ask you to join us in prayer for Ethiopia. Let’s lift up this nation before God, asking Him to bless its people, strengthen the believers, and expand the gospel in every region. Pray for peace and stability, as well as for the churches to be a beacon of hope and truth in challenging times.
Ways to Pray for Ethiopia:
- Pray for peace to reign across Ethiopia, especially in areas affected by ethnic and political conflict.
- Ask God to bless Ethiopian leaders with wisdom and integrity as they seek to stabilize the country and serve the people.
- Pray for the Ethiopian church, that it would continue to grow in faith, courage, and unity across denominations.
- Lift up the evangelical movements, that they may thrive and share the gospel boldly in both rural and urban areas.
- Pray for religious freedom, as Christians and churches sometimes face opposition or restrictions in certain areas.
- Intercede for the youth of Ethiopia, that they may find hope and purpose through a relationship with Christ.
- Pray for the provision of basic needs such as clean water, healthcare, and education for those living in poverty.
- Ask God to heal the wounds of ethnic divisions and bring about reconciliation and unity among the people.
- Pray for missionaries and Christian organizations working in Ethiopia, that they would have the resources and protection they need to minister effectively.
- Pray for the spread of the gospel to the unreached people groups in Ethiopia, that every person would have the opportunity to hear about Jesus.
- Ask God to strengthen Christian leaders as they disciple others and lead churches in the midst of societal challenges.

Thank you for taking time this week to lift up Ethiopia in prayer. Together, we trust that God hears our prayers and will continue to do a mighty work in this beautiful nation. Let’s pray for His kingdom to advance, for His church to thrive, and for His peace to cover the people of Ethiopia.
