Wow! What Can I Say!

With the current unrest, fighting, troubles all over the middle-east  and the many problems in Japan from the disasters, we really do need to pray for this conditions and the people.  All you have to do today is turn on the TV or go to a news webpage to find that there are Wars and rumors of wars, kingdom against kingdom and the earth it's self crying out for the return of the Lord.

What do we do?

• We are to pray and watch for our redemption draws near.  We should be praying for our fellow man and for the people groups around the world.  Many areas of the world and what his happening there have been overshadowed from the current concerns of the middle-east and Japan.  But, in the last few weeks there was a major earthquake in northeastern Myanmar, there are still major problems in Haiti with many people in need of help.  Then I have received several letters from pastors and Christians in Pakistan concerning the persecution and more.
• Do what we can!  There are several ways you can do what you can.  You may choose to go yourself to one or more of these locations to personally help.  You may choose to support someone who feels lead to go.  You may choose to contribute to one of the many projects going on for relief and reconstruction, building an orphanage or even help develop self-sustaining agricultural projects.  But, all of us can pray or become a prayer partner for someone.

Continual Rains / Mudslides / Effects of the Flooding Hit the 10/40 Window

While watching the news early this morning I was struck by the numerous disasters in Asia and rising tensions in the Middle East and around the world.  The death toll rising, sickness and disease, homeless, starving and numerous millions of families hurt in one way or another or morning for lost loved ones from these recent events.

Continued rains and mudslides in China, the deluge continues in Pakistan and a school collapsed in northern India from excessive rains.  With all these disasters, many have died, more that twenty million affected in Pakistan alone, the short term conditions are deplorable and disease is spreading in Pakistan and may elsewhere as a result of these conditions.

We need to pray for all these things and people and especially for the Christians in these areas. In Pakistan alone I have received several reports from inside of Pakistan from pastors that the aid that is coming in is far less than what is needed to even sustain them, but the relief that is coming is not being distributed to the Christian population in this country. 

Pray that the Lord will supernaturally sustain the Christians in these areas as a witness to the lost and dying that there is a God who loves them and wants them to know Him.  Pray that the doors will open for the Christian aid agencies to be able to go in freely with out restriction to serve, assist, and bring aid and the Word of the Lord.
