Africa

World Prayer Centre Continent Rooms

The continent with the youngest population of all. Despite a wide range of natural resources, Africa is the least wealthy continent. Countries include Nigeria, South Africa, Uganda, Malawi, Mozambique, and Somalia. Islam and Christianity are the biggest religions, with many also endorsing local superstitions such as witchcraft and tribal practices. 

Pray for the end to violence either between neighbouring nations or between rebel groups and the government. Pray for revival among the youth as it is the youngest continent. 

For more in depth information on the countries in this continent, visit Prayercast or Operation World.
