CHINA: Gao Zhisheng disappears again

We reported in March that Christian human rights lawyer, Gao Zhisheng, had reappeared alive after thirteen months of international pressure. Only weeks later he went missing again, and hasn’t been seen since. Fears of Gao’s disappearance clearly highlight the worsening situation for human rights lawyers who bring cases against the government. Please pray for our brother in Christ.

Thanks for praying for my “new” church home Redeemer Presbyterian church ( I am their accompanist!), for Rev. Chris, and for all of the church members and their families. Please pray for God to continue to open doors for new prospective members. H.

Of all psychiatric disorders, anorexia nervosa is the number one killer. People suffering with this disorder has abnormal attitudes about food, exercise, and body image. These are the warning signs to look out for amongst your friends and loved ones: Resistance to maintaining body weight at or above a minimally normal weight for age and height. Intense fear of weight gain or being “fat,” even though underweight. Please pray for those who are suffering with eating disorders in your community. Pray that the distorted image about themselves will be restored in the minds of those suffering from this disorders. Pray Ps. 139 over their lives, believing that the power of God’s word will bring renewal in their minds.

Please pray for Kimberly for God to open the doors for her move to Amarillo and that all of her needs would be met during this time of transition. Pray for His perfect will in everything, and that His timing would also be perfect for the move.

On television we see the countdown to the Soccer World Cup on Friday, 11 June 2010. This is the talk on the lips of every South African and soccer fans. As representatives of God’s Kingdom, Christians are called to arise and take our place before God’s throne of grace (Heb.4:16) and pray earnestly for the duration of this event. Take 10 minutes per day to pray for issues regarding the Soccer World Cup. Stay informed of relevant prayer issues by watching the news daily. Pray for the salvation of people, especially also the visitors to our country. Many teams are concentrating on evangelism and other actions to reach out to people with the gospel. Pray for the safety of these teams. Pray that visitors from closed countries where people can't freely be evangelised or worship Jesus, will be reached with the gospel (especially Algeria and North Korea). Persist in prayer for issues like human trafficking of all kinds, drug trafficking and alcohol abuse. Pray for the security of all people, especially for the protection of the SAPS and for crime prevention. Significant demonic activity connected to the Soccer World Cup is at work in our country.

Thanks, again, for your continued prayers for my complete and total recovery from valve replacement surgery on my heart last year. Recent visit to my Pulmonology Doctor has revealed enlarged lungs - as in emphysema! Don't know why, but it could have been caused from drug interaction last July when I was first admitted to the hospital and given a really potent, bad for your lungs drug. God is STILL in the healing business, last I heard, so thanks for your prayers in that regard! Also, my car situation is still urgent. I have started my summer classes, and have no working car to get to school and the museum to teach. Please pray for a miracle to either fix my car, or God to replace it! Thanks for your continued prayers for my finances, as they are still very limited. Again, God has been faithful to sustain me, so I am praising Him for these needs being met!!! In His way and in His timing! Sis. H.

For the last two months, heavy rains have been causing severe flooding across Kenya. Over 120 people have died, and 600 families have been displaced and their homes destroyed. At Bala Mercy Children’s Centre in Homa Bay, families who had been hosting orphaned children in their homes have now been left homeless, and so around 100 people are taking refuge in the Centre itself. Pray for those affected by the heavy rains in Kenya, particularly children. Pray that those who have been displaced would soon be able to return to their own land and start to rebuild their lives. Pray for the orphans at Bala Mercy Children’s Centre, and the host families caring for them. Pray that those who are now taking refuge in the Centre would be able to know God’s peace and security despite the precarious nature of their situation.

- Please pray for Jan, David, Barbara and all others working on the book on the Assyrian Christians of Iraq and the story of what happened.

NORTH KOREA: CSW’s June week of prayer

Recently in the news for its aggressive stance to South Korea, North Korea’s personality cult regime harshly punishes all who mildly stray from its idolatry. While refugees are fleeing North Korea to seek asylum or citizenship in sympathetic Asian states, inmates inside North Korea’s ‘gulag’ prisons are subjected to some of the worst forms of torture and deprivation on earth. North Korea desperately needs our prayers.

CSW spoke alongside a North Korea defector at the EU in April to testify about the regime’s brutality towards prisoners. With your help we want to continue to raise North Korea’s plight high on the international agenda and stand together in prayer with North Korean people.

Organising your own prayer event is a wonderful way of supporting North Koreans and learning more about the issues they face. Lets join them in prayer.

Please pray for me and my family. We lost our business and we have applied for a loan modification to save our house. Please pray we will be approved this month June 2010. That we will be approved for $2000.00 per month mortgage payment. God said that nothing is to hard for him I am standing on the word and Abraham’s blessings are mine. I am a faithful tither weekly. V. & W.
