International Churches of Christ around the world are fasting and praying this month for disciples in danger around the world. Disciples Today and ICOC Hot News are keeping you appraised of some of these situations.
All indicators point to war breaking out in Abidjan in the near future. Hot News spoke with Francis Dassé in Abidjan today. Fierce firefights break out sporadically across the city. The bus station is crowded as people are fleeing to Accra, Ghana, and to Togo. Tens of thousands have crossed into Liberia as well.
In Abidjan itself hundreds of disciples are staying with other disciples in safe neighborhoods. About 80 are sleeping at the church building. Both the Accra church (English speaking) and the Lome church in Togo (French speaking) are ready to help. HOPEww is also eager to help gather relief monies to aid the disciples as they flee the fighting. Please keep up the prayers! We will keep you posted. Click here to donate through HOPE worldwide.
