1. Spiritual forces battle in Venezuela. Both rich and poor visit witch doctors in the thousands of spiritist and occult shops. Pray for the Holy Spirit to bind all the powers that blind Venezuelans to Truth, and to reveal Christ to all.
2. On a social level, Venezuela is struggling. Poverty is still widespread and may be growing, and relative living standards are dropping (60% of urbanites live in slums). Power is concentrated in the hands of an ever-shrinking cadre, and the nation is regarded as the second most corrupt in Latin America after Haiti. Pray that amid significant economic change and political turmoil, the neediest in society would be cared for and communities would be strengthened.
3. Christian radio is a strategic ministry. There are over 10 local evangelical radio stations, and TWR, HCJB and others broadcast in shortwave around 550 hours per week in Spanish. Some of their material is being used on secular stations as well. Pray for all these resources to be well supported, full of powerful content and free to continue their work without interference.
