时事
Botswana is in a hard season as the world market for natural diamonds stays weak, and reports say the economy is in recession. Anglo American is selling its 85% stake in De Beers, and Botswana, which holds the other 15%, wants a bigger share. In September the Vice President said the country would not risk its finances for the deal. The government is still working to fix medicine shortages that led to a public health emergency in 2025.
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
Botswana is a republic led by an executive President. Duma Boko of the Umbrella for Democratic Change was sworn in on 1 November 2024, after his party ended 58 years of rule by the Botswana Democratic Party. The Vice President, who is also Finance Minister, is Ndaba Gaolathe. The next general election is due around 2029.
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
Diamonds provide most foreign earnings and about a third of state revenue, so the slump has hit hard. The IMF expected the economy to shrink by about 1% in 2025 after a fall of about 3% in 2024, and it put unemployment near 28%, and about 38% for the young. Leaders say the country must diversify, and many families feel the strain.
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 eight recognised Tswana groups hold special standing, but Botswana is also home to many other peoples, including the Kalanga, Bakgalagadi, Wayeyi and San (Basarwa). San communities were moved from their lands, including the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, and many minority languages are fading. HIV still affects about one in five adults, and remote communities are among the most vulnerable.
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
In the 2011 census about 79% of people aged 12 and over were Christian, about 15% had no religion and about 4% followed Badimo, the traditional faith. Other estimates from 2020 count more people following traditional beliefs. There are small Muslim and Hindu communities. Christians are found right across the nation.
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 protects freedom of religion, including the right to change faith and to share it. All religious groups must register, and the US State Department reports that a 2022 law requires them to re-register and requires pastors to hold theology training. The Botswana Council of Churches has raised concerns and talks with the government were continuing.
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
Britain made Bechuanaland a protectorate in 1885, and it became independent as Botswana on 30 September 1966, led by Seretse Khama. The country has known peace, but some peoples, such as the Wayeyi and San, were moved from their lands without compensation. The HIV epidemic brought great loss, though mother to child transmission later fell from about 40% to about 4%.
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 Botswana. Bring relief to families feeling the diamond slump, and let every clinic have the medicines it needs. Give wisdom, integrity and justice to the President, the Vice President and all who lead. Provide new work and honest stewardship of the nation's wealth. Bring the San and every minority people into full belonging, and protect the sick and the poor. Let Your truth and hope fill every church, and keep believers free to worship. Heal the wounds of lost land and of the HIV epidemic, and lead Botswana in forgiveness and peace. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
