Prayer Focus: SEBIGMAR Bible School and the nation of Peru
Prayer Points:
- Since 2017, Peru has been paralyzed by a series of political crises. The country urgently needs a stable government to carry out just policies after so many years of corruption, dictatorship, and threats to security.

Pray for justice and righteousness for the crushed and oppressed.
