Two weeks after tropical storm Ana blasted across the island country of Madagascar in late January, killing more than 41 people and displacing almost 72,000 from their homes, a second storm hit this weekend. Cyclone Batsirai (which means “help” in the Shona language) killed more than 20 people and displaced an estimated 69,000.
O Father, please have mercy on the peoples of Madagascar. Heal the wounded, comfort the grieving, rescue those who are trapped, provide for those in need, give them shelter, restore their electricity and water supply, pull back the floodwaters, rebuild their homes, and show Yourself loving and merciful on their behalf. Give every person a hunger for You, especially the 11 Islamic people groups who have yet to hear the Good News of Your salvation. Meet them in their dreams, talk to them throughout the day, and when they cry out to You for help, answer them, O Lord. Bring Christians into their paths to powerfully show them Your love and preach the Gospel. Follow up their words of Truth with confirmation specific to each heart cry for help and love. Answer every prayer like only You can. Lift the veil from the eyes of the lost so they will see You as You truly are, and give them courage to believe. Be a Shield around every Christian in Madagascar, protecting them from persecution and harm. Build their faith, knowledge, and understanding of Your Word. But especially build them in love. Show them ways they can reach out to their neighbors to help them rebuild. Make Christians a safe place where people know they can go for kindness, protection and help. Empower believers to share Your Good News in a way the lost can easily understand, and save whole families and villages. Awaken the peoples of Madagascar to You. Comfort them with Your love. And bring forth a mighty revival in every church all across the island, planting hundreds more and strengthening the faith and witness of every believer until Your name is written on every heart all across the nation.
