“Peace floods the soul when Christ rules the heart”. John 14:27; Phil. 4:7

That God will fill your heart with lots of peace this coming weekend, Roberto Wijnhof

Multiple international human rights organizations, including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, accuse North Korea of having one of the worst human rights records of any nation. North Koreans have been referred to as "some of the world's most brutalized people" by Human Rights Watch, due to the severe restrictions placed on their political and economic freedoms. North Korean defectors have testified to the existence of prison and detention camps with an estimated 150,000 to 200,000 inmates (about 0.85% of the population), and have reported torture, starvation, rape, murder, medical experimentation, forced labour, and forced abortions. Convicted political prisoners and their families are sent to these camps, where they are prohibited from marrying, required to grow their own food, and cut off from external communication. It is still the most difficult place in the world to be Christian. All religious activity is seen as a revolt against North Korea's socialist principles and the cult of Kim Jong-il and his father. As a result of strict searches, considerable numbers of secret Christians have been discovered, arrested, tortured, and sometimes killed. Despite this, and the lack of freedom to worship, many take the risk of sharing their faith and the church is growing: there are an estimated 400,000 believers. Ask God to reveal His love to the North Koreans. Pray Ps.24:7-10 over this nation. Ask God to soften the hearts of the leaders to hear God’s voice and walk in obedience.

Please continue to pray for my son, David and granddaughters, Kelsey and Kallie during this extremely difficult time of separation and divorce. Pray that God will keep doors closed that they should not go through, opening only those that will lead them to Jesus. They need a new church home and new Godly friends to encourage and walk with them through this time.

Hi my brothers and sisters asking special prayer for GODS strength and provision, the library is almost empty right now so i thought it would be a good time to write this request rather than Monday when it is packed. GOD richly bless you brother Danny.

My 3 year old Steven needs also special prayers he has hysterical frequent uncontrollable hysterical yelling/crying attacks, and is very slow in speech still. Pray also for my marriage here in Mexico. Arie J. G.

There is an immense onslaught on family life. There has probably never been a time in history when marriage and family life have been under such strain. Purposeful, systematic, intelligent and persevering prayer is necessary in this area. Pray that families will come together and share around the Word of God on a regular basis. Pray that couples will be inspired to pray together about their needs and giving thanks for God’s provision.

PAKISTAN: Remembering victims of violence one year on Last summer, over 100 houses were destroyed and eight people killed in Gojra, Pakistan, in extremist violence which was sparked by false accusations of blasphemy against Christians. Despite two official investigations, there has been no public statement of their findings and reconstruction of destroyed homes remains incomplete. Remember and pray for the victims in Gojra

Please pray that Carol can let go of a very, very damaging relationship and that she will have the courage to do this quickly. She needs more of Jesus and less of the world that she is clinging to. Carol also needs a wonderful church home and new, Godly friends who will speak the truth to her, but in love.

Xenophobic clashes broke out in Kya Sands this week. Police have moved in and are maintaining a heavy, watchful presence. Local residents were said to be jealous of the success of informal businesses established by foreigners and were believed to be behind much of the assaulting and looting that had taken place. Please pray for the protection of every person in the informal settlements in South Africa. Ask God to release His peace in the hearts of the attackers and that they will live in harmony with foreigners.

Thanks for your prayers, intercessory prayer warriors, for all of my family who are gathering for a Beckner Family Reunion in Dallas, Texas, this weekend! Please pray for a safe trip for everyone, and that God would move in our midst as we visit with loved ones. Blessings to All, Helen

I’ve been under extreme Satanic/Demonic attacks within the past 2 yrs. I strongly believe there are powerful forces, connected to my apartment bldg, attempting to destroy and push me out. My apartment has been broken into, on many occasions with items stolen, which caused me to change my locks. I subsequently experienced approx. 10 damaging water leaks, banging on my pipes at all hours of the night and doors slamming, to name a few things. There are strong indications that I am being watched and have been slandered, which has negatively impacted me losing my job and a bad reputation at church. Ultimately, I am fighting a spiritual battle (Eph 6:12). Cam
