Chad House of Prayer

May 11, 2026 – May 17, 2026 Chad
Men and women gathered for Portable Bible School in Amdourmile, West Chad. Wooden benches in a brick walled room, a motorbike resting at the open doorway.

And my house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations.

Isaiah 56:7

A handful of Portable Bible School reports came in from Chad this week. Amdourmile in the west. Nord Ou’est. Selah Manga. A military camp in the north. Abeche. And Baradai, where fighting broke out between communities while the students kept showing up.

This is the slice that came in. It is not a record of every center, every salvation, every nation in motion. There were more.

Pray for the people in Baradai! There is a conflict between communities resulting in fighting and violence. We pray for the safety of our missionaries and students, and that our God of peace will reign over that region.

Regional Reports

AMDOURMILE, west Chad

The cover photo is from inside the Amdourmile center. A brick room with a thatched roof and an open door. Men in pressed shirts and women in patterned wraps shared the same wooden benches, Bibles open in front of them. A motorbike rested in the open doorway, parked in the West Chad afternoon.

The center is a weekly anchor for the surrounding villages. Students walk in. They learn to read scripture. They take what they hear back home.

Outdoor gathering at the Amdourmile center. A teacher stands at left, students seated on low wooden benches under open sky, women in bright wraps holding their books. A smaller study group at Amdourmile seated on a blue patterned mat against a concrete wall. Women in colorful wraps and a man in an olive shirt, paperwork in their laps.
NORD OU'EST

A few photos from Nord Ou'est came in this week. Students gathering outdoors. A group photo in front of the center building. And an evening scene of a smaller circle of leaders meeting around a low wooden table while the rest of the community sat on mats nearby.

That is the pattern Favor's centers run on: the public session, the photographs, and the smaller workouts of leadership and discipleship that keep the thing alive between sessions.

SELAH MANGA

One photo came in from Selah Manga. A brick walled room. Two windows letting in late morning light. Rows of women in deep blue, orange, green, and pink seated on benches with their books open. A teacher in a white shirt stood at the front, mid sentence.

NORTHERN CHAD (military Bible School)

In a country where soldiers are often the first to encounter conflict, they are also among the last to encounter rest. One of the photos this week showed a teacher in light blue with a small group of Chadian soldiers under a tree. Camouflage uniforms, plastic chairs, a few wooden benches, and a Bible open between them.

The military Bible School keeps reaching men whose work would otherwise put them past the reach of any local church.

ABECHE

Abeche is a major city in eastern Chad. The photos that came in from the Abeche center this week showed students both outside along a long wall and inside in a meeting hall, men and women seated together in plastic and wooden chairs.

The Abeche Center indoors. People seated in plastic chairs in a long meeting hall, a small group of women in patterned dresses in the foreground, more attendees deeper into the room.
BARADAI (please pray)

The Baradai photo this week showed women in red, blue, pink, and patterned dresses seated under a blue shelter on a tarp marked with simple geometric patterns. Pink Bible booklets open across every lap. The light was good. The session continued.

Around them, the region is now in conflict. The prayer request at the top of this post is for them.

How to Pray

Baradai. Safety for missionaries and students. Peace between the communities. The Word holding through the conflict.

The soldiers in northern Chad. That what they hear under the tree takes root in lives marked by hardship and quick decisions.

Amdourmile, Nord Ou’est, Selah Manga, and Abeche. Endurance through the long weeks. Understanding. The courage to share what they are being given.

Everyone else. The centers and the students that did not make it into this week’s photos. The countries that did not appear here at all. The Word is going out everywhere it has been sent.

The Q1 2026 Impact Report lays out the wider quarter: centers planted, baptisms, training, nation by nation.
