Middle East Situation: Malaysia 24-7 / 30 Day Prayer Watch
As the Gulf crisis sends shockwaves through Asian energy markets, the church in Malaysia is not standing by - it is standing in the gap. A timely and appropriate 24-7 prayer initiative has been launched, covering every nation in the region (and across the world) around the clock. Let’s stand with them in prayer for the global economy and for those most affected, which are often the poor and vulnerable members of society. Read the full story below.
Prayer Request from Tehran Church Leaders
I was moved by this urgent letter from 52 Iran Church Leaders asking us to pray for Iran. Let’s stand with the people of Iran in this time of persecution and pray with them the Prince of Peace will reign, that violence would end, and that the flame of the Holy Spirit would spread across the land.
