Operation World : Pray for Eswatini : Eswatini is the last absolute monarchy in sub-Saharan Africa. The contrast between the lavish lifestyle of the king (and his 14 wives) and the poverty that grips more than half of the population is alarming. Around 25% of the workforce is unemployed, while the economic situation continues to decline. The constitution banned political parties, and the lack of democracy and human rights suppress change and make positive progress very difficult. Pray that the King might see his position not as a privilege but as a responsibility to serve his people and his land. Pray that Christians might be at the heart of grassroots movements that care for the neediest in Eswatini. https://operationworld.org/prayer-calendar/11-11/#eswatini
Operation World : Pray for Suriname : Nearly half the population profess to be Christian, but many have little understanding of their faith, and Christian belief is often mixed with spiritism. In the larger Catholic and Moravian denominations, growth has been incremental, but recent Pentecostal and charismatic growth has been rapid. Pray for new life and dynamism to replace traditionalism and syncretism practised by many. Pray for increasing trans-denominational cooperation to continue in Bible-related ministries and outreach to every ethnic group in Suriname. https://operationworld.org/prayer-calendar/11-11/#suriname
