Spotlight on...

Abidjan is the former political capital and primary economic center in the country of the Ivory Coast. It is a developing, coastal country in West Africa. As of 2011 it is the largest city in the nation and the third-largest French-speaking city in the world, after Paris and Kinshasa, DRC.

1999 marked the beginning of a decade of political unrest. This culminated in violent clashes during the 2010-11 elections. The country has largely stabilized under the current administration, however tensions are on the rise as the 2015 elections approach. These will be the first elections since 2010.

The Ivory Coast remains largely politically divided and reconciliation is vital to prevent violence from breaking out again in the October 2015 elections.

Population (2012) • City-province 4,476,397 • Density 2,100/km2 (5,500/sq mi) • Urban 7,108,647 • Language French

6. Pray for the teachers, academics, police and military personnel who will hear the Gospel today. Ask that God would have a profound impact in their hearts and that the change made in them will have an effect for generations to come.

7. Pray for the closing rally of the Mission in Abidjan. Pray many will come to know the Lord and a new wave of Godly leadership will rise.
