时事
In October local reports warned that food insecurity is worsening, with hunger expected to continue in southern Lesotho. Garment workers are still feeling the loss of jobs after US tariffs, and cuts in foreign aid have added pressure on health and other services. Former and current Basotho mineworkers are being helped to claim benefits they are owed.
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
Lesotho is a constitutional monarchy. The King is Letsie III, the Prime Minister is Sam Matekane of the Revolution for Prosperity party, and the Deputy Prime Minister is Nthomeng Majara. In 2026 the Prime Minister appointed new senior civil servants in several ministries.
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 garment industry depends on duty free access to the United States, which takes about 47% of its shipments, worth nearly 13% of the economy. The sector once employed about 50,000 people and now supports about 36,000 jobs, and US tariffs alone have cost about 12,000. Some factories are growing by selling to South Africa, but unemployment remains high and many families rely on small farming and livestock.
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
Almost all of the people are Basotho and speak Sesotho, which gives the nation a strong shared identity. HIV affects nearly a quarter of adults, among the highest rates in the world. Church leaders have raised concerns about youth unemployment, gang activity and gender based violence, and many former mineworkers are still owed benefits.
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 90% to 95% of Basotho are Christian, according to church estimates and a 2022 survey. About 56% are Protestant, including Anglicans and the Lesotho Evangelical Church, and about 39% are Catholic. Many Christians also keep traditional rituals. Muslims, Hindus and Baha'is are small communities. Churches run most schools across the country.
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 and share one's faith. The US State Department reports that in 2023 a minister's remarks about Muslims caused concern, and the Christian Council of Lesotho urged leaders to avoid divisive words. Christian teaching is mandatory in practice in many schools, despite the right to opt out.
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
Moshoeshoe I united the Basotho in 1822, and Britain made Basutoland a protectorate in 1868. Independence came on 4 October 1966. In 1970 the Prime Minister refused to give up power after an election, and a military coup in 1986 and unrest in 1998, when fighting with regional troops left much of Maseru damaged, left deep scars. An alleged coup attempt in 2014 forced the Prime Minister to flee for a few days.
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 Lesotho. Bring food to every hungry home in the south and comfort to those who have lost work. Give wisdom, integrity and justice to the King, the Prime Minister and all who lead. Provide jobs for garment workers, miners and young people, and grant honest stewardship of every resource. Protect women, children and all living with HIV, and bring peace to troubled communities. Let Your truth and hope be alive in every church and school, and keep all people free to worship. Heal the wounds of past coups and unrest, and lead Lesotho in forgiveness and peace. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
