"When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, because she thought, 'If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed.'" (Mark 5:27-28)

Lord, we hear the news that wildfires caused by prolonged heatwaves continue in Algeria, spreading further and resulting in deaths and injuries.

Please save the souls of Algeria who are facing death and despair after losing their homes, livelihoods, and families as the land has been devastated by this year's wildfires.

As firefighters deploy hundreds of personnel and aerial firefighting equipment to battle the flames, please strengthen them so that the wildfires may quickly come to an end and prevent further spread and damage.

In this difficult situation, may the Algerian church, which You have preserved as a hidden weapon, rise up with bold faith and proclaim Jesus Christ, our Savior who has the power to heal every sickness, to the many souls in Algeria suffering from the devastation of these wildfires.

May the global church hear the heartbreaking news from Algeria and unite in prayer so that the wildfires will no longer spread and that life may prevail over death. May they partner together so that the Algerian church, the hidden weapon You have preserved, can proclaim the Kingdom of God with faith while carrying the gospel.

Therefore, may Algeria rise as a faithful servant who offers praise and worship to the Lord, declares joy, and refreshes the heart of God, becoming a nation that heals the Maghreb region and the nations of the world!
