Pastor Gude Pérez – Appeal is denied

In January, Pastor Gude Pérez’s appeal against his conviction on trumped-up charges was denied. He will now serve his full sentence of six years and seven months. The family of this imprisoned Cuban pastor need a lot of prayer in this difficult time. Pray for a miracle of release for this pastor.

Urgent prayer alert:

Threats heighten as Pakistani Christian faces verdict on Thursday

Qamar David, a 50-year-old Christian, is on trial under Pakistan’s blasphemy laws, and the verdict is expected on Thursday. He has been held in the Central Jail in Karachi since 2006, where previously he has reportedly been threatened and beaten by the prison officials as well as other prisoners.

Parvez Choudhry from Legal Aid for Destitute and Settlement (LADS) in Lahore, who CSW work closely with, is representing Qamar in court. He receives regular death threats against him, his family and his organisation and he and Qamar frequently suffer physical and verbal abuse in and around the courtroom. At the hearing on 9 February, Parvez received a threat saying that he, the accused, and his family would be killed.

When we pray, we see prisoners released!

The verdict on Qamar David’s case will be announced on Thursday, which means further violence is likely. The situation seems desperate, but we know that the prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective (James 5:16b). LADS have told CSW that they can tell when we’ve been praying, as they win their court cases and prisoners are released. Let’s stand together in prayer today for Qamar and Parvez!

Please pray:

- For the safety of Qamar David, Parvez Choudhry, their families and the other LADS staff, as Qamar’s case - reaches a critical point on Thursday.

- For peace of mind and spiritual strength for everyone involved in the case.

- For the presiding judge to ensure that justice is done.

- For all those suffering unjustly under Pakistan’s notorious blasphemy laws.

I need plenty more belief, plenty more power of prayer and more Holy Ghost with me. Please pray also that God gives me gifts of God's grade. E. V.

South Africa: Turn2God Conference

It is our prayer that individuals and ministries will join hands as we get together in the capital city, at the Union Buildings as we dedicate our nation and our leaders to God. We need to turn to God for our nation to be healed; hence the theme scripture of the day: 2 Chronicles 7:14 “If my people, who are called by my Name, will humble themselves, confess their sins, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven and I will heal their land.” Give thanks to God for all the breakthroughs that the organizers have experienced up until now. Pray for the protection of the families of those who are going to take part in the event.

- Music students that I can immediately help that will learn continually every week and learn long-term will book in for lessons.

- Daily People would phone our church responding to our Church Flyer and Food Co Operative flyer and let them know that they are phoning from having received a flyer.

- Every weapon formed against myself, family members and our businesses would never prosper

- Pray also that whatever has to happen so that the local Christian Radio Station’s flyer will be immediately completed and printed and will immediately happen so I can put the flyer out (for free) straight away. A.

Gao Zhisheng – Still missing, one year on

Gao Zhisheng, a Chinese human rights defender, has been missing since February 2009. The Chinese Embassy in Washington D.C. informed a US-based NGO that Gao was “working in Urumqi and has been in contact with his family.” Gao’s wife and brother immediately denied the claim. CSW continues to press high-level contacts for concrete information on Gao’s whereabouts. Pray that he will be found and set free.
Please pray for mrs. W. she has trouble with sleeping at night.
Pray for your community: Courts and Judges

They receive death threats. Some of them experience sleepless nights. A great responsibility rests on their shoulders as they need to make decisions that will affect someone’s life. Please lift up the people that execute judgment in your community. Consider: if you personally know a lawyer or anyone involved in court in some or the other to pray with them and ask God’s blessing upon their lives. Justice is turned back, and righteousness stands afar off for truth is fallen in the street and equity cannot enter. So truth fails, and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey. Then the Lord saw it and it displeased Him that there was no justice. He saw that there was no man and wondered that there was no intercessor (Isa. 59:14-16a). Stand in the Lord's strength and war in His armour with the Word of God for those in seats of justice and for the foundation of the judicial system. (Eph. 6:10-18). Release power, love and a sound mind to defend the judges from the spirit of fear and intimidation. (2 im.1:7). Declare that judges in authority over us will "lead a quiet and peaceful life in all godliness and reverence." (1 Tim.2:2).

International: Prayer focus on France

France, at the centre of Western Europe, has a population of which about 30% is atheist and less than 1% active evangelicals. Rampant secularisation has made the spiritual battleground in France difficult. Pray for France invites Christians from around the world to pray for France from 1-21 March, during the days before Easter. Give thanks to the Lord for this and other initiatives. Pray for the heart of the people of France to turn back to the Lord Jesus. Ask the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory to grant the believers the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. (Eph.1:17). Remind God of His promise that He will heal the land as His people humble themselves in prayer before Him and turn from their wicked ways. (2 Chron.7:14).

I need prayer for healing of bone cancer and rheumatism. Mrs. B. S.
