Pray for the safety of Kogui Christians in Colombia

For security reasons please do not post this information on a web page. PLEASE include this security warning if you share this by email for prayer support.

Kogui Christians in Colombia face mounting pressure to renounce their faith. Two legal petitions to the Colombian courts demanding that their constitutional rights be protected have been submitted on the group’s behalf. The judges involved must make a decision within the next ten days. After being given a ‘break’ from their captors over Christmas, the group decided not to return to captivity on 10 January, defying the governor’s demands. They do not know how he will react. They had been detained illegally since the beginning of November, and were under pressure to recant their Christianity. Please continue to pray for protection and freedom for the group.

A generation of youths who do not know how to treat women are to be targeted by the British government in a drive to tackle violence and abuse in teenage relationships. The campaign could also involve children as young as 5 being taught about ‘gender equality' as part of personal, social and health education that, from 2011, is to be a compulsory part of the national curriculum. Rules are also to be produced for how teachers should tackle ‘sexist, sexual and transphobic' bullying. A strategy to tackle violence against women and girls published highlights the need for ‘attitudinal' change among teenagers in relationships. The move follows growing concern that some teenage boys are mistreating girls with verbal abuse, physical attacks and attempts to coerce them into having sex. Pray that young people in your community will come to the knowledge of Jesus and that they will serve Him. Pray that their conduct will change as they are being transformed by the renewing of their minds. (Rom.12:2).

Please, pray for my healing and protection. I've been feeling ill. Please, pray for Sveta to walk in the Spirit and not to yell at me. Pray for her to be able to go to the dentist. Pray for favor with my landlord and neighbours. I pray for provision for me: many things are broken in my home. My landlord doesn't want to fix them. Pray for the spirit of mammon to leave Artem and his wife. Please, pray for God to give me the blessings of Abraham. Pray for Sveta to follow Jesus.

I ask you to pray for God to give enlargement to us in our prayer group. For physical and spiritual protection for my ministry, staff and family. Pray that this prayer will bring down the forces of darkness holding our nation of Russia in bondage. Pray for Moscow!

Pray for Coptic Christians in Egypt shot during Christmas celebrations

Sadly, Christmas celebrations have turned into a time of mourning for Christians in Egypt. Six Coptic Christians and a security guard were shot after a Christmas mass on 7 January in Naga Hamady, Qena, following threats of violence. Please pray for the families of the victims, and other Christians in Egypt.

Lorraine, my friends mom, is back in the hospital for her 3rd round of chemotherapy. She is really sick and could certainly use some Divine intervention. Even as I write this Lorraine's kidneys are failing. I'm afraid that Shannon and her mom are both afraid she won't pull through this time so they could both use some peace. Shannon has gone as far as phoning everyone and telling them to come. Please also pray for my relation with Shannon. I need to know what to do. S.

Reports speak of a frightening practice taking place amongst girls and young women in Afghanistan, whereby they are forced to set themselves on fire in order to escape from abusive husbands or the threat of forced marriage. ‘Self-immolation’, as it is called, is often considered by these girls as being the only way out of abusive situations. Out of 51 cases seen over seven months by a particular hospital in Herat, only 13 girls survived. What is more, in cases of abuse, it is often the victim, rather than the perpetrator, who is punished. Honour killings, where girls are killed by male family members for things such as falling pregnant outside of marriage (often as a result of rape), are another dangerous custom. Pray for the girls and young women facing these horrific situations. Pray that God would provide an escape for them other than self-immolation, and that they would find protection and security. Pray for Christians in Afghanistan who may come into contact with girls in abusive situations. Pray that they would be able to minister to them and to show God’s love, and explain to them that it breaks His heart to see them treated in such a way.
