John Robb Report:
Pakistan and
Burma |
|
|
11/15/2007
The situations in Pakistan and
Burma are still quite volatile with the arrest of opposition
leaders and the potential for more violence and turmoil. Please
keep these nations and their governments in your prayers along
with the tiny minority of Christ’s people trying to make a
difference in the midst.
Also, please remember the hundreds of thousands who were affected
by the recent hurricane and torrential rains in the Caribbean and
in Mexico. Pray that relief efforts will go well and that those
who had to be evacuated will be able to return to their homes and
rebuild their livelihoods. May Christ’s special comfort and
presence be theirs!
Tomorrow, the first important prayer initiative will occur in the
far Eastern regions of Siberia. They are part of a series of such
conferences to draw together Christian leaders and intercessors to
develop an effective prayer network that stretches across the
vastness of Russia. The first event will take place in Khabarovsk,
Nov.15-18, and the second will happen in Magadan, November 20-22.
Please pray for the right people to be able to come; for His
anointing, guidance and financial provision for this developing
movement; and for Mikhail and Ioan, two colleagues from the
International Prayer Council that are facilitating both events.
Russia needs to see major transformation happen at every level of
society and such initiatives are key to this process.
A friend at the United Nations asks us to pray that decisions made
there will be “rendered in accordance with the heart of the Lord”
and that leaders of the nations will have wisdom and unity in
governing.
Lastly, the International Prayer Council executive leadership will
meet in Malaysia in early December. We need God’s wisdom ourselves
in making plans for the future of this international prayer
network. We appreciate your prayer that we will clearly discern
the voice and direction of the Lord so as not to miss what He has
in mind for us and the wider prayer movement we are trying to
support.
John Robb
