TOWN . REGION . COUNTRY . PEOPLE
We invite you to join us in praying for eSwatini by first praying for the town you reside in (or near), then praying for the region you live in, then praying for eSwatini and then her people. This prayer guide is simply that, a guide to assist you in praying scripture for items to be brought before the Throne. Please know, you must also pray as the Holy Spirit leads you. We encourage you to add verses
If it is possible, we invite you to also join us every Monday for FASTING on behalf of our towns, regions, country and people.
Last, we encourage you to gather several friends and do a “PRAYER WALK”, simply walking through the area you, the streets of your town or as the Lord leads. This can be done once or even every day as you feel lead. See the last page of this document for further details on the Prayer Walk.
Feel free to print this page and share it. We are calling ALL PRAYER WARRIORS on behalf of this nation.
