Pray for the Lamb's Reformation!
Oct 31st 2017 marks the 500yr anniversary of the Reformation when Martin Luther posted his 95 theses on the Wittenberg door! This year we want to pray for a Lamb's Reformation to help shift the church back to honoring the sacrifice of Christ! A reformation is the action or process of reforming an institution or practice. It's our desire to see the church reformed, fully alive to the Supremacy of Christ in all things! Let's cry out for a God-breathed, Christ-awakening movement where God's Spirit uses God's Word to re-awaken God's people back to God's Son for all that He is! As Paul writes in Philippians 3:8,

Please pray for Nepal and God's protection for Nepalese Christians because the number of anti-Christ people are growing here. Yesterday, after the huge celebration of Easter, some unknown people shot the program officer of the Federation of National Christian Nepal (Mr. Santosh Khadka) He is now being treated, still with the bullet in his body. He was riding a motorbike on the way to a house fellowship and another motorbike rider came and shot him. The gun sound was so small, he did not know he had been hit until he reached his destination and saw the blood flowing down from his hip. May the Lord heal him very soon. Thank you so much for your regular prayer and love for Nepal.
We appreciate you from our deep heart.
With much love and prayer,
Govinda and Sujita

Lausanne Mission Leaders Gathering
 Global Prayer Leaders & Prayer Groups,
Would you kindly pray and share with your key prayer leaders this Prayer Request on behalf of The Lausanne Mission Leaders Gathering. The number of those who will gather has risen to 90+ CEO/Executive Directors. They are acknowledging the need for extraordinary prayer and have asked us to partner in prayer.
Phill Butler writes, "I have the opportunity/responsibility of designing/facilitating the process by which these 90+ leaders engage with God, the challenge, with each other, and with a plan for action. It's a process we're well into. Many very encouraging things. BUT - We are coming into the final 7-8 weeks - the 'homestretch' of this thing and if anything of lasting Kingdom value occurs over these next few weeks - during and after Wittenberg - it will be because of prayer. Will you and your praying friends/network(s) take up this cause? This small team behind the scenes, will be lost without the extra prayer support. And, as always, this comes with my profound thanks for your commitment to Kingdom collaboration and the prayer that's so essential. Your support over the years has been such a huge encouragement!"
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Would you join to pray for their gathering that will happen in June 2017*, in just a few weeks.
Please pray for these 90+ mission leaders that will gather in June that they will have the unity of the Spirit and a willingness to pray and work together for the future. Pray for Phill Butler and his colleagues that will be helping to facilitate this important gathering that they will be anointed and guided by the Holy Spirit and will know how best to proceed.

A Christian Perspective on the Dalai Lama and Tibetan Buddhism
It has been our desire to see "A Church established among every unreached Buddhist people group."
Today, I was listening to Joel Goldberg's talk about Islam and he said that his intention in writing his novels was to alert the Church so that they would not be blindsided by the rise of radical and apocalyptic Islam as we were on September 11. As former Buddhists, we understand the subtle nature of Buddhist propagation and their missionary strategy. Although they don't use guns, for the most part, we as Christians are involved in an ideological battle with religions that have captured the minds of millions of souls who are unaware of the dangers of modern sophisticated idolatry that come wrapped in the crimson robes of a "simple Buddhist monk" with an intriguing story from Tibet.

The Taliban Menace and Prayer Concerns for Humanitarian Efforts in Afghanistan
On Friday the 21th of April a group of Taliban attacked a large Afghan Army base close to the Northern Afghan city of Mazar-e-Sharif. The Taliban were dressed as soldiers and then killed more than 140 Afghan soldiers and wounded many others. Today is a national day of mourning in the country.
Just on 8th of March Islamic State gunmen dressed as medics attacked a Kabul military hospital in one of the safest areas of the city. About 50 people are said to have died as militants armed with guns, grenades and knives targeted patients and staff at the 400 bed hospital. It looks like the Taliban and IS terrorists can hit any place they chose. This attacks have shown how bad the security is in Afghanistan and the increasing strength of the Taliban and IS.

Please continue to pray that these terror organisations would be stopped and finally defeated. These are huge blows against the Afghan Army that has suffered already heavy causalities in the last year. Pray for wisdom and courage for the Afghan government and Army. God has to step in and rescue this country from its cruel enemies!
Pray for the Christian humanitarian organizations serving the Afghan people at this great time of need. Pray for their protection and favor in the eyes of the government. Pray that they make bear effective witness and that many will be drawn to Christ through their loving efforts.

About International Prayer Connect (IPC)
OUR VISION:
"Compelled by God to seek Christ's glory worldwide for the blessing, healing, and transforming of the nations, International Prayer Connect exists as a coalition of prayer networkers and mobilizers working together to motivate, develop and equip national movements and local churches to fill all nations with prayer for the fulfillment of the Great Commandment and the completion of the Great Commission."
HOW WE OPERATE:
The IPC is not an organization as such. We are a fellowship of people involved in mobilizing prayer throughout the world. We function as an international "network of networks", connecting international, regional, and national prayer ministries and networks. We also arrange or support special prayer initiatives that bring prayer leaders together from time to time to pray for matters of regional and global concern to the Body of Christ. Regional prayer summits have been arranged or supported by the IPC in most regions of the world as well as international prayer initiatives for the United Nations, Hollywood, and other issues.
The IPC is led by an international leadership team, now called the International Prayer Council, is composed of twenty leaders who coordinate regional prayer networks or international prayer initiatives of various kinds. We seek to be catalysts and connectors within the global prayer movement towards the fulfillment of Habakkuk 2:14- that "the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea."
We do not have an official membership but connect with individuals and networks through IPC Connections, a periodical newsletter distributed via e-mail to give prayer information to interested people. Please share this newsletter with prayer coordinators, prayer network leaders, and others who have an interest in the global prayer movement so that they can be informed about different prayer initiatives, existing prayer networks, and how to participate in them.
