Viral Outbreak in Central Africa Causes Concern for Missions Agency
Gospel.Com cites a report from Mission Network News that despite stepped-up border controls, an outbreak of the Ebola virus has spread from Gabon to neighboring Republic of Congo. Authorities on both sides of the border fear the disease is likely to spread and restrict movement between the two central African nations. Christians in the area are trying to help in any way they can. "I think it has caused the churches to become more concerned, involved in prayer for their country, and I think we need to pray that the Spirit, and an attitude of prayer, would increase just for the sake of the spiritual warmth of the church," a MNN representative said. Submitted for your pestilence and gospel preached to all files.
