Hope for Yoruba-speaking Communities

“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you.” – Ezekiel 36:26

In the vibrant Yoruba-speaking regions of Nigeria, Benin, and Togo, life is a beautiful tapestry of tradition and faith. Yet, many grapple with the tension between Christianity, Islam, and traditional beliefs. Today, we pray for God’s Word to bring unity and renewal, transforming hearts and strengthening communities.

The Yoruba people are known for their storytelling, music, and community-centered living. These cultural elements foster strong connections and create a platform for sharing the gospel. However, economic challenges and spiritual conflicts leave many searching for stability and hope. The Yoruba Bible, available through THRU the BIBLE, is helping individuals and families find peace in God’s promises.

A faithful listener shared:

“Your daily exposition of the Bible from TWR has made you my teacher. Whenever the preaching ends, I go over the passage again. Sir, is it not possible for you to announce the next Bible passage so that we can read it beforehand? Also, can I get the recorded messages?”

This heartfelt request reflects a deep hunger for God’s Word and a desire to grow in understanding and faith. As God’s Word spreads among Yoruba communities, let’s ask Him to create new hearts and renewed spirits for His glory. May the seeds of faith planted through THRU the BIBLE programs grow and bring lasting transformation.

Prayer Points:

• Thank God for the growing reach of Yoruba-language broadcasts.
• Pray for families to experience the peace and unity of Christ in their homes.
• Ask for boldness for local pastors sharing the gospel in regions where Christianity faces opposition.
