Wars, Rumors of Wars and Disasters!

The Middle-East needs our prayers with unrest in almost every area.  Listed are some specific things and areas to pray for.   Pray for:

• That the he peace and hope that surpasses all understanding to fill the Christians in these areas.
• That the Lord will reveal Himself to the lost and dying.
• That provision and blessings will be manifested in the lives of the Christian people so that they may show the love of the Lord to their fellow neighbors.

Here is the news:

• Yemeni police open fire on protesters, killing 3.
• Syrian Security forces shot dead at least at least 100 protesters on Friday.  This is one the heaviest death tolls in a month of escalating demonstrations.  Forces have shot at the mourners today and even those coming out of Mosques.
• In Libya the fighting has not subsided, but the forces loyal to the present government have withdrawn from the port city now, leaving it to the rebels for the present.
• I have received many emails from Pakistan Christian leaders asking for our prayers as well with the violence and discrimination against the Christian minority.
• Then keep Nigerian people in your prayers as well.
• Japan's tsunami ravaged coast received its first foreign leader to tour this area.  Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard expressed shock and sorrow while visiting the evacuees at a shelter and seeing the devastation in the area.  The Japanese people are in desperate need of Hope.
• Haitian pastors are still asking for your continued prayers and support in their efforts to help the people.

As you pray about these things, would you pray as well about what the Lord would have you to do.  Contact us at Youth Quests for ways to help in these areas.

Nigerian Riots - Pray!

After the Nigerian incumbent president, who is a Christian, won the election the Muslim opposition started rioting.  Burned corpses with machete wounds lay in roads and smoke rose above this city where rioting broke out again this Tuesday.  The Muslims were angered by the announcement of the Christian incumbent winning the election.
Please remember the Christian Nigerian people who are in danger.  Pray for their protection and that they will be so blessed that the people around them will be amazed and ask them "What is the reason of the hope that is in you?" and  "What must I do to be saved?"
