“It is not what you have in your pocket, but what you have in your heart.”

1 Thessalonians 5:18 May your weekend be a blessed one. Roberto Wijnhof

Please pray for my husband Gary that No Cancer of any kind will be found or any asbestos related diseases. Please pray for my husband that the Lump near his arm pit will be healed quickly and that all swelling will go down quickly. Please pray that his blood tests will return to normal. Please pray that if he has to have time off work that all financial needs will be met. As he is the only breadwinner. Thank you Jann,

The City of Cape Town is showing growing commitment to the fight against prostitution, the proliferation of brothels, pimping and sex trafficking is already beginning to pay dividends. Several prominent city brothels masquerading as beauty salons and massage parlours were raided and shut down over the last week. These establishments were operating without licenses and violating other City by-laws. Incredibly, despite mounting and credible evidence that vulnerable teens are being lured into prostitution by these “salons” through false and misleading advertising – newspapers continue to publish their ads thereby indirectly promoting prostitution and sex trafficking. Pray that all the cities hosting visitors during the World Cup will promote sexual purity and good moral values. Pray that newspapers will stop with misleading advertisements luring innocent people into the sex industry.

Hi, my brothers and sisters, could you please say a prayer that something good will happen to me this week I desperately need a break. GOD richly bless you. Brother Danny

US activist freed from detention in North Korea

Thank you so much for praying for Robert Park, the Christian missionary who went into North Korea on Christmas Day and has just been released from detention. We thank God for his safety and that he is recovering with his family. Robert’s aim was to raise awareness of the human rights abuses in North Korea, and you can help achieve this by lobbying your MEP today.

Despite rising divorce rates it seems that marriage is still an overwhelming aspiration for young people in Northern Ireland. New figures reveal that over 90% say they want to get married. This information emerges in one of the largest surveys into sexual attitudes carried out in the province. Over a thousand 16-30 year olds were asked about their attitudes and behaviours around relational and sexual issues for the survey. Uniquely, the survey was also designed to probe into whether and in what way faith had an impact in these areas. 87% of young people surveyed said they believe that the Bible has something to teach about relationships and sex. 81% of respondents said they thought pornography was harmful and yet 79% of males had accessed it online. 63% of those surveyed felt that sex before marriage is always wrong. Pray that God will protect the minds of young people and that they would hold on to these positive beliefs. Pray that young people will be an example to believers in word, conduct, in love, in spirit in faith, in purity. (1 Tim.4:12).

Angie is in currently in England caring for her mother who contracted pneumonia and was put in the hospital. She has stabilized but does needs our prayer. Please be praying for her and her mother. O.H.

BurmaPray for the protection of Burmese refugees
Last week CSW reported that 3,000 Burmese refugees in Thailand were being threatened with forcible return to Burma. CSW briefed the UK Government and the EU, and various media including The Independent quoted CSW’s press release. The good news is that the deportations have now stopped, and three families who were sent back to their home villages have been allowed to return to Thailand.

But the remaining Karen refugees face being sent back to a landmine-infested camp in Burma, after fleeing attacks by the Burma Army in June last year. There’s no guarantee that the Thai Government won’t continue the deportations after UN officials leave the area. Please keep upholding these vulnerable people in prayer, asking God to protect them.

There is a Call to intercessors throughout the world to go to the Vancouver area in Canada during the Winter Olympics (Feb. 12-28, 2010) to join in prayer for God’s purposes during this critical time. They will intercede for this strategic gateway city, its call to the nations, and the specific opportunity to offer hospitality that the Church in the Vancouver region is rising up to meet. The Keats Island International Prayer Centre is a short-term effort to mobilize intercessory prayer support for the Vancouver region, Canada, and the nations during the Winter Olympics from Feb 12 – 28, 2010, and especially for the hospitality ministries of ‘More Than Gold’, (the interdenominational group that is coordinating the churches in the Metro Vancouver Area). A seasoned leadership team will provide a variety of forms and opportunities for focused prayer throughout each day. Pray for the leadership of this event, pray that they will wait and allow the Holy Spirit to lead and guide them through every strategy and prayer. Pray for those who are travelling to Vancouver from other regions will have a safe journey. Pray that every intercessor’s prayer will be led by God’s Spirit and that they will declare God’s Word over every situation and into the lives of every one that will visit that town over this period of time.
