Pray for: Georgia

The country, not the state (although it might need prayer as well).

President: Mikhail Saakashvili

Capital: Tbilisi

Population: 4.6 million

Religions: Orthodox (84%), Islam (10%), Catholic (1%)

Issues: Based on what I've learned they have made tremendous progress in the last 4 years in cleaning up corruption within the government and throughout the country. They still have economic issues, but are improving that situation. Still they have an unemployment rate at roughly 12.5%. Tensions have risen recently with Russia and that's obviously going to slow any progress they have made thus far. Pray that peace will come to the country so that the people of the country may continue to move towards a better life.
