时事
In early September protesters in and around Banjul burned tyres and set up barricades over power cuts lasting up to 48 hours, and police used tear gas. The country is preparing for the presidential election on 5 December 2026. Higher food and energy prices linked to the war in the Middle East are adding pressure on families.
我们为以下事项祷告： 即时救援、安全和紧急帮助.
领导与政治
The Gambia is a presidential republic. President Adama Barrow is head of state and of government and is seeking a third term, and Mohammed B.S. Jallow is Vice President. Other candidates include Ousainou Darboe of the United Democratic Party and Talib Ahmed Bensouda, reported as the flagbearer of an opposition coalition. A fair and peaceful election in December is a key moment.
我们为以下事项祷告： 为掌权者求智慧、正直和公义.
经济状况
The IMF expects growth to slow to about 4.7% in 2026, from about 6% in 2025. Food and energy costs pushed inflation up again in April, and debt remains a concern. In 2022 about 17% of people lived in extreme poverty.
我们为以下事项祷告： 家庭的供应和诚实的管理.
社会与文化问题
The main peoples are the Mandinka, Fula, Wolof, Jola and Soninke. Families of different faiths often live side by side and join in the holidays of their neighbours. A national debate continues over the 2015 ban on female genital cutting, and the protection of girls is a real concern. Election seasons can raise tensions, so peace between communities needs care.
我们为以下事项祷告： 和好、和平，以及对弱势者的保护.
属灵景况
About 96% of Gambians are Muslim, mostly Sunni, and about 4% are Christian, mostly Catholic, according to the 2024 census. Many people also blend traditional beliefs with Islam or Christianity. Small Baha'i, Hindu and other communities are also present.
我们为以下事项祷告： 属灵的苏醒、盼望和真理的传扬.
宗教自由
The constitution forbids a state religion and religious discrimination, and provides qadi courts for Muslim family matters. The US State Department describes interfaith marriage as common and religious difference as widely accepted. It also reports that the Supreme Islamic Council excludes the Ahmadiyya community, and that church vandalism in 2023 led to interfaith dialogue.
我们为以下事项祷告： 保护信徒，使他们能安全自由地敬拜.
历史的创伤
The Gambia River was a major route of the slave trade for centuries, and Britain ruled the area until independence in 1965. Yahya Jammeh ruled from a 1994 coup until 2017, with reports of killings, disappearances and arbitrary imprisonment. He left only after a political crisis and a regional military intervention. In 2026 a former interior minister was still appealing his Swiss conviction for crimes against humanity.
我们为以下事项祷告： 国家的医治、打破旧有的循环和深层的饶恕.
让我们一起祷告
Our Father, we come to You together for The Gambia. Bring relief to families struggling with power cuts and rising prices. Give wisdom, integrity and justice to President Barrow, every candidate and all in authority, and grant a peaceful and fair election. Provide for every family and bless honest work. Protect girls and the vulnerable, and keep peace between all communities. Let the hope and truth of Jesus be made known in every home. Keep the freedom to worship safe for all. Heal the wounds of the past and lead the nation in justice, forgiveness and peace. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
