#PraytoendEbola – 14 Key Leaders to Pray For

Personally, I find it hard to pray “generic” prayers for the leaders who are dealing with the Ebola Crisis.  I like details.  It helps me to pray for people by name.  Here are the names of some of the key leaders who need our prayer during this Ebola crisis.  Please pray for two or three of these individuals by name each day this week.  Thanks!

(Note, these are just some of the most prominent names in the fight against Ebola.  I may try to find the names of more of the local leaders on the ground in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea so we can be praying for them as well.)

Ellen Johnson Sirleaf,  President of Liberia

Ernest Bai Koroma,  President of Sierra Leone

Alpha Condé,   President of Guinea
