[edit] Life

• Lesotho is made up of highlands where many villages can only be reached by horseback, by foot or light aircraft. Resources are scarce – a consequence of the harsh environment of the highland plateau and limited agricultural space in the lowlands. So, Lesotho is heavily dependent on South Africa.

• The people of Lesotho are prisoners of their geographical position as an enclave within South Africa, the divisions and powerlessness of their politicians and lack of resources. The 1998 South African invasion has left the population angry and frustrated. Pray that God-fearing, honest leaders may be raised up for the good of all.

[edit] Churches

• The land has been largely Christian for generations, but traditionalism and nominalism are widespread. The rapid increase of newer churches has challenged the mainline churches to be more spiritually vital and relevant. Pray for a humble harmony between the different denominations in place of considerable antagonism.
