International Prayer Alert
DearFriends,
Youhave no doubt been hearing about the massive flood disaster in Pakistan that has affected some 20 million people, leaving many homeless and
withoutfood, clean water or shelter. The response from the international
community hasbeen quite slow. Please pray for a well-coordinated,
effective relief response. Pray too that radical Muslims will not be
able to exploit thesituation and that many of these people will hear of
Jesus Christ and come to know Him through this calamity. (We have
contact with a outstanding Pakistani Christian leader who with others is
trying to bring relief and needs funding. If you want that information,
please let us know.)
China- please pray for a delegation of WesternChristian leaders who could have
a unique opportunity in October to meet with Chinese public officials,
academics and business executives for a forum on the place of
reconciliation and faith in society. This initiative that has been
sixyears in the making could lead to the development of a China
Institute for Peace, an important outcome in the midst of a startling
Chinese military build-up. Pray for His favor with government
officials as all the arrangements are being made and for God’s open
doors for this initiative.
4-14 Window Global Summit, Sept. 2-5, Flushing, New York- please pray for this crucial event that
will bring together 800 participants from around the world to plan and
work together towards the raising up of children from this age group to
become His agents of transformation, the next generation of men and
women of God to bless our planet. Pray for His anointing and guidance for the organizers and those of us who will be presenting and/or participating.
Lausanne Congress for World Evangelization,October 16-25, Cape Town, South Africa- please join in praying for this major
event that is concerned with making Christ known throughout the earth.
We have been asked to pray for the program (reconciliation is an
overall theme) and for the participants, especially for all the visas
that need to be gotten from sometimes difficult consulates. Pray also
for the unity of the organizing team and finally that the Lord will
reveal His glory and manifest His presence as these thousands of
Christian leaders gather together.
Zimbabwe
Finally, we have been requested to pray for Zimbabwe which is at a crossroads.
It is “a nation still struggling for justice and peace and where the
poor continue to suffer.”Yet “the Church in Zimbabwe is awakening and is
on the verge of being used by God to transform this awesome nation,
creating godly discipleship models in all sectors of the national
economy..”. Please consider joining the *LoveZim International
Prayer Day – the organizers are inviting people all around the world to
support Christians in Zimbabwe by standing with them in prayer on 26th
September 2010. Their goal is to reach every Zimbabwean not
currently living in Zimbabwe as well as thousands of other believers
around the world who we hope will be willing to join us in prayer. For
more information on how you can participate, see these

Warm regards in Christ,
