Message and Prayer from our director:
(Please pray in agreement with us)
We are so sorry to hear this devastating news.
Immediately we ask God to send His mighty angels to guard and protect you. We ask that God will thwart the plans of the enemy and those seeking to kill, maim and destroy. Lord in a miraculous way open their eyes and may they see You and be filled with the Holy Spirit. May they be transformed by Your forgiveness. Jesus we ask that You will turn their black evil hearts that are controlled by the forces of evil into righteous people with hearts of gold who serve You. oh God. You did this for Saul/Paul, nothing is impossible for You.
Lord Jesus, heal this broken land, raise up mighty people to stand against evil and bring peace and resolution. May peace descend like gentle rain. Lord fill each child, each adult with Your Mighty Presence. Lord I lift up the many who are grieving, who have lost loved ones and livelihoods. Be their comfort and provision.
Jesus, thank you for your protection on our program people there. We continue to ask that You will surround them by Your Mighty Power. May no harm come to them, provide for their needs. Give them hope and strength and the assurance of Your love. Guide us to do whatever we can and pray with all our hearts.
