“Keep your eyes on God and all of your fears will vanish”. Isa. 12:2. What a powerful promise we received from God “He will never leave nor forsake us”. Greetings and a wonderful weekend to you. Roberto Wijnhof GPN

Hi my brothers and sisters i really need your prayers this week just to make it through the week the centre is going to close at the end of June but what I am finding out is in some ways it is already closed because everyone has changed their is so much more arguing and it is very hard on the staff because they have to look for work themselves. I think your prayers are keeping the lid from blowing off. GOD richly bless you. brother Danny

Please pray that everything necessary will happen so every obstacle to breakthrough would be removed to my eldest daughter, and second youngest daughter returning to Christ, and that all my daughters will love and desire fellowshipping with other Christians, Going Weekly To Church and loving and desiring Jesus with all their hearts and fulfilling God's Desires. Please pray that Christ be formed in each of my daughters.

Please also pray that my teenage daughters will willingly help at home with what is reasonable and necessary while their mum (my wife) recovers.

According to recent surveys, over 60 per cent of children and teenagers talk in chat rooms on a daily basis. Three in four children online are willing to share personal information about themselves and their family in exchange for goods and services. One in five children will be targeted by a predator or pedophile each year. (E-mail: pray@viva.org, 16/02/09). Pray that child online safety gets on the global agenda and is taken seriously and begins to be addressed in realistic and effective ways. Pray that parents will become more involved in their children’s lives and monitor what their children view.

Pastor Rodriguez and familyCuban pastor faces trial on Friday
Reverend Roberto Rodriguez was notified last Wednesday that he must present himself in court this Friday 27 February.

In December 2008, Reverend Rodriguez was accused of “offensive behaviour”. Thankfully, in large part because of your prayers and support, his case received an unexpected amount of attention outside of Cuba, and the trial was suspended.

However, due to the stress involved in the situation, Reverend Rodriguez’s health has suffered. He has lost a great deal of weight and has problems with his kidneys.

He is required to attend the trial on Friday, despite the fact that he is currently under medical care. Prosecutors are requesting that he receive a one-year prison sentence.

Please pray for Reverend Rodriguez and his family and consider offering them encouragement during this difficult time to remind them that they are not alone.

We need agreement in warfare prayer for my work place. The scriptures we are standing on are (Matthew 21:22, Matthew 18:18-19). Individuals over us are not of GOD & we are stuck with a schedule where you cannot plan your life. We need the HOLY SPIRIT to open some new doors in our work place to get us more computer techs. And that we get a leader to help us get a decent fair schedule where some of us who want go to Church, can. Please pray & agree with us that we will get our breakthrough in our work place. Prayer is the only answer in many trials & that is why we turn to it. Again thank you for your agreement in Jesus Name, Jim.

Please pray that the fungus that is growing on all the grass of our lawn and trying to take over the whole of our large grass area of lawn would immediately shrivel up, cease and die and never return. Please pray that the grass will be unaffected by it.

The amount of South Africans that abuse drugs have increased with 40,000 over the past two years. South Africans also use double the dagga, cocaine and tik (amphetamine) than the world average. The cost of this addiction is about R20 milliard per year. About 9% of the South African population of 47 million people (about 4.2 million people) uses dagga. This is more than double the world average of 4 percent. Thirty seven percent of all South Africans consume too much alcohol over weekends. Only 17,000 South Africans receive treatment for drug and/or alcohol addiction per year. Pray for those who are addicted to alcohol or drugs; ask God to deliver them by the power of His Word (Ps.107:20). Pray that their family members will support them with love, care and understanding. Ask God to awaken prayer in the hearts of man for this situation for the prayer of the righteous makes power available (Jas.5:16).

In spite of the fact that the government has declared a comprehensive curfew in the state capital, violent attacks against Christians continue in Bauchi State.

The violence began early on 21 February. In the latest figures, at least eleven people have been killed and over 1,500 displaced, and fourteen churches, eight vicarages, one mosque and around 150 homes and businesses have been destroyed.

It is believed that the current violence is in retaliation for the events which took place in Jos last November, when rioting Muslims were shot for defying the curfew.
Please pray for the people of Nigeria, in particular for the victims of violence in Bauchi State.

Please pray for Lydia B. who has cancer on her uterus. That all will become well again.

Last month the Kenyan government declared a national crisis as the number of starving Kenyans doubled in only 3 months, quickly reaching over 10 million. The crisis was caused by drought and a 99% crop failure, along with post-election attacks in 2008, which cost the country at least 20,000 acres of maize cultivation. Overall, food staples in Kenya have risen about 44% in price. Although the government is now offering lower prices on seed, distributing extra soil and importing 5 million bags of maize to assist its people, the aid is not enough to immediately quell the crisis. Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka, is calling on the church to pray. Lift this country before God in prayer, asking God to have mercy on them. Pray that the Christians in Kenya will continually come before God in prayer (2 Chr.7:14, Lk.18:7).

Please pray for my brother Santos who is admitted in hospital with acute chicken pox and respiratory complications. Please pray for him to receive healing and to recover. And that he may also know Christ and commit his life to God. Thank you and do remember my family in your prayers. F. Kenya.

My friend who works for the rocky mountain news will be without a job Friday as they close business after many years. She is a Christian and has asked for prayer. She just got married in September so it is a super financial drain for them as well as all others who are laid off in the Denver area...

Special prayer for Morgan that she will find help and comfort and relief from her pain. Pray for cheer. Pray that my son stolen car is returned now, pray for him to have godly favor on his job, school, ect. Pray for protection, safety for our family salvation for our children, and total financial restoration for the family.
