“No enemy can come so near that God is not nearer.” Heb. 13:5 Lets stay close to God. Have a blessed weekend. Roberto Wijnhof
In Britain, new figures showing a rise in the number of multiple abortions among younger women have prompted criticisms of government sex education policies. A Christian doctor’s group called the statistics ‘profoundly depressing’ and blamed the government’s longstanding ‘values-free’ sex education. It is increasingly clear that abortion is simply being used as a form of contraception by a growing percentage of girls and women, and that tired policies of values-free sex education, condoms and morning-after pills are not working. Pray that women in your community will choose to live sexually pure lives. Pray for the ladies that have undergone multiple abortions; pray for the comfort and healing by the working of the Holy Spirit.

Pray for the Greek World Cup squad. Each member of the squad was personally handed a modern Greek Sports New Testament (originally prepared for the 2004 Olympic Games). Although the New Testament was originally written in Greek very few Greeks own a Bible. If they do it is simply an ornament or good luck symbol and they would not understand the official New Testament Koine Greek. So having a New Testament in a version they can understand would be a complete revelation to the modern Greek. Pray that this contact with the Greek team will have a lasting impact upon their lives. Ask God to stir a hunger within their hearts to read and meditate God’s Word.
Prayer Alert - Christians Taken Away in Handcuffs, Cameras Confiscated, for sharing the Gospel on U.S. Soil.
The Detroit Free Press reports that four Christian missionaries who were trying to share the Good News of Christ to Muslims were arrested and jailed Friday for disorderly conduct at the Arab Festival in Dearborn.
The police chief confirmed that four arrests were made, saying "They did cause a stir." The four, who are part of a Christian group called Acts 17 Apologetics, were released on bail.
According to eyewitnesses, the four were handing out a booklet containing the gospel of John on the festival grounds -- which were primarily tents and booths set up on the public streets of Dearborn. The would-be evangelists were surrounded by green-shirted security personnel hired by the Festival, who taunted the four and gave shouts of "Allahu Akbar" when they were arrested.
Prior to the festival (attended predominantly by Muslim Arab-Americans), a U.S. district judge in Dearborn issued a ban on groups distributing literature on sidewalks and local officials required a five-block distance for anyone wanting to distribute literature. The four were within the festival grounds.
David Wood, one of the four arrested, has said, "There are certain elements of Sharia law being adhered to in Dearborn." The four now have legal representation.
PRAY:
- That Christians will stand against any form of diminishment of our freedom of speech and of religion.
- That Christians will engage to defend their rights to share the gospel in America.
- Pray that Sharia law will not be allowed to flourish in America.
- Pray that the charges against the four will be dropped and that they will be exonerated.
Dear Bro & Sis Please pray for my parents Rev Arlikatti & Mrs Arlikatti both are sick.

Please pray about the situation in the city I live about a practice that I believe is a major reason I (and other good people) have not been given interviews and/or been rejected from jobs for which I am fully
qualified. I found out that there is a network group of human resource people (HR) who share information with each other, with some about employees in their companies, past and present. Some of the information
they share with each other apparently is illegal to share (and also unethical), as it is defined as 'retribution' by the laws.
Please pray that the Lord will bring a complete stop to these illegal practices that harm innocent people and apparently have ruined the careers of several people I know. Please pray that the Lord will bring them to complete repentance and that if needed, their illegal practices will be exposed publicly. Most members of this HR sharing group claim to be members in good standing in local churches, but some of them also
show racism against minorities and also anti-Semitism against Israel and the Jewish people. And they believe there is no problems with those attitudes, some even justifying that racism with Bible verses. C.
NORTH KOREA: Lift up the nation in prayer
For years CSW has been a voice for the voiceless in North Korea – lobbying for freedom from repression for them. Just this week we’ve participated in a parliamentary discussion on North Korea. You can use your voice to bring change by upholding the North Korean people in prayer. Without prayer there won’t be true change.
The tiny, shaken Christian community in Gedo Region reports that a Muslim family shackles their 17 year old daughter to a tree by day and puts her in a small dark room at night because she converted to Christianity. When the woman’s family found out that she converted to Christianity she was beaten badly but insisted on her new-found religion. Her parents took her to a doctor who prescribed medication for a ‘mental illness'. Traditionally Somalis believe the Quran cures the sick especially the mentally ill so Islamic scripture is continually recited to her twice a week. The girl is very sick and undergoing intense suffering. There is little the community can do about her condition but concerned neighbours was advised by the community leader to keep monitoring her condition, but not to meddle for their own safety. Pray that this young girl and others like her will not forsake their faith in Christ in times of persecution. Ask the Lord to work in the hearts of her family members to be able to love her, even though they do not understand her decision. Ask the Lord to reveal Himself to each of her family members. Pray portions of God’s Word into her situation and others like hers. (Rom.10:17; Ps.147:15).
Please pray for our children ministry. We have projects where we care for more than 500 children every day and we feed them and provide education, health care and spiritual guidance. This has resulted in formation of Children Churches, Youth clubs and other social groups. Phoolwari project and Nanhon ki Duniya are such project in Delhi and outside. It is for children of Surajpark slum in Delhi and villages located in Aligarh. Pray that we will be able to touch and transform the lives of these young ones for Christ. We envision transformation of our country through these young ones. India
