I want to introduce to you a veteran Prayer Warrior, who had lots of victories in getting answers to prayer for politicians and elections. He is my maternal Uncle and his name is Dr. Daniel Jesudas. God saved him in 1958 and after his graduation from College, He led him to work in Assam. So far he is the only preacher who preaches the Bible on DD1, the national channel. Last three years he preached Christmas messages and Good Friday messages on DD1. He will again present a Good Friday message on DD1 on coming Good Friday of 2009 probably at 9 am. In 1960, when he was only 17 years old, he saw a vision of bright light and Lord Jesus coming down in shining light and lay His hand upon his head and vanish away. So he feels that God has anointed him for a very special ministry to the people of India and that of the world. He did his B. Sc in Trivandrum and Master’s Degree from Tennesse Temple University in USA. He got his Doctor of Divinity from Faith Theological Seminary of Milton, Florida. He got his Diploma in natural medicine from Calcutta and he is a Registered Medical practitioner.
As he shared with me, he prayed for the USA Presidential elections of 1992. When he prayed one month before the elections of November that year, God showed him that Mr. George Bush (senior) was the best person to be President of that land. But God also showed him that Mr. Bill Clinton will be elected as President. It happened just as God showed him. On election day 2000, when he was praying in the morning, God showed him that Mr. Al Gore was going to be eleccted as President that year. He argued with God and told him that it will not be good to continue the liberal policies of Bill Clinton for another eight years. God gave him a wisdom to pray in the following way, "God please forgive the sins of the American people namely, homosexuality, abortions, devil worship, immorality, pride, money worship etc and pray that God would confuse enough voters that day so that the better of the two will be elected." He believes strongly that it is his prayer that caused the hanging chad which was from the confusion caused in a few thousand people whose vote Al Gore could not get. Had he gotten those votes, he would have been surely the President. He says, “what a mighty God we serve”.
2002 he told to his school students in one morning assembly that Dr. Manmohan Singh will make a better Prime Minister. All said, “not even an outside chance” for that to happen. But it happened. In 2004, all the opinion polls showed that BJP will win big and get more than 300 seats in the parliament. He wrote letters to tens of thousands of Pastors especially in the Northern states of our country. In the letter he encouraged Pastors to influence the election process. Because he believes that God's commandment to believers to pray for all in authority (I Timothy 2: 1-5) means that prayer should come from faith and faith without works is dead. So he encouraged pastors to do everything possible to get righteous and secular minded people to be elected and pray on election day, "God please confuse enough voters today so that more righteous and secular minded people will be elected." Before the parliament elections of 2004, he told me that he was praying that one party in T. Nadu will not get even a single seat as God told him to do that. I had my own doubts, but i thanked God that his prayer was literally answered.
Last year in June, God showed him that Mike Huckabee who was in the fray for Republican Party candidacy would make the best President for USA. God also showed him the same time that Barak Obama will become the President in the elections. He has announced it in the churches where he preached in Arkansas in the same month. Last year before the elections in Rajasthan he said that he will pray and do all he can to unseat the then government that persecuted his friend Bro. M. A. Thomas of Kota. With the help of one Bro. Ajit Pal from Orissa, he prayed and worked for it and God answered him again.
He mentioned about one prayer he did from July 15 of last year. On that day he heard from Television that the price of gasoline in the world market was $147.27 per barrel and that it may go up to $200 a barrel which will in turn make prices of all products that need transportation to go higher. He earnestly pleaded with God to rebuke the speculators who bid the prices of gasoline high that they will not do it. He also prayed for the demand to come down and that the prices come down with all this. On July 16th he said that he was in Delhi and tried to call our PM’s office and Mr. Pranab Mukherjee’s office etc to get an appointment. He got no positive response from any of them. Finally he called Mr. L. K. Advani who gave him time to meet him at 5.30 p.m. the same evening. While talking to him, he says that he told him, “Sir, I started praying for gasoline price to go down in the world market and in the next two weeks you will see that it comes down drastically.”
After the two weeks, while he was watching CNN, he heard that the gasoline price had come down to $121. 38 per barrel. He said that he called Mr. L. K. Advani and checked with him if he remembered his statement on the gasoline price and if he had noticed that it had come down by $26. As he answered in the affirmative, he mentioned to him that he did that to prove to him that he is a man of God and God listens to his prayer. Today the same gasoline price is $100 down from what it was on July 16, 2008.
He truly believes that the party or alliance that promises him a ministerial berth in the next cabinet will get the majority in the parliament through his prayers. If no party offers him that, he predicts that UPA will get to rule, yet without a comfortable majority. He honestly believes that there was a Jesudas difference in the election results of Assam in the last couple of elections as he prayed for the congress. Without that difference, means without his prayer help, congress will win only minimum number of seats in Assam this time, he foretells. There are so many more to be written, but I hope this will be enough to show his worth to our nation and to our people, so that a constituency of our land will demand him as their candidate.

Pokok Doa GPN 21 April 2009
GPN 21-04-2009
“When everything goes dead wrong, look and see if you are facing the wrong direction”. Gal. 6:7-8 Let’s follow Jesus! Roberto Wijnhof GPN
Requests:
I still need your prayers. I have to see a doctor on this Tue., and then they want to put me Into another Hospital to see why I had breathing problems. I will also have to see 2 more doctors. All of this is very expensive. Please, pray for my strength.
Please, pray for my new friend Gulia. I want to invite her and others to church. Please, pray for many to come. I ask for a spirit of conviction upon the people I witness to, my Dr. Konradi, my friends, Dima, the homeless kids, my landlady and my boss.
Sasha
Please pray for our Church construction work at Orissa. We are constructing 4 churches and the work is in full swing, but the non supply of water is causing problem in one area called Dubla. Please pray that God will enable us to complete the work soon. Pray for Pastor Subodh Nag the team leader and His team. Please also pray for the wedding of his daughter Dharas marriage on the 17th. She is marrying a pastor from Maharashtra in India.
I'm bringing Marilou to her cardiologist this PM. Since the other day, she is feeling not good and this morning, she just feels she needs to see the doctor.
I will ask your prayers. God bless you my friend.
Jovie
Pray for Dhamavir’s mother. She was operated in her eyes, but now she is getting pain in her eyes. Pray that God will heal her.
CAROL: Still out of work since last Fall and will not be receiving any more money each month from unemployment benefits. She is desperately looking for work and has become very discouraged and exhausted trying to "make things work". Please pray for a miracle for God to provide her a good job...not just a "make do" job. She also needs another church home to help her in her walk with the Lord. The one she presently attends is not equipped to help someone personally going through her situations, and she needs a deeper walk with the Lord.
MICHELLE: Please continue to pray for her complete and total healing from cancer - and for her family.
HELEN: The church I attend and play the organ and piano for may be "going under" pretty soon if things don't change. Please pray for God's perfect will to be done with all concerned, as they have really become like family to me, and a big part of my monthly income comes from playing for them. I know God will supply in other ways, but a good church family is hard to find these days!!!
Please pray for all of the people in my classes at Amarillo College and the Museum of Art. MANY are unsaved and in desperate need to know Jesus Christ. Others are desperately needing a touch from the Lord to heal and deliver them. Please pray that I may continue to be a "light" in this dark world, and that I may be faithful to unconditionally love, but be able to be bold with the Truth that sets people free. It's a really fine line and balance sometimes - especially in a class room situation.
Glenn: Please pray for his mother, his son and grandson. His mother is 89 and going through chemo for cancer, and his son and grandson have multiple, extremely serious health issues that may require risky surgeries. Please pray for God to enable Glenn to be the support and help he desires to be without burning out. THANKS!!!!!
Please pray for sis. Margarette for the Lord’s divine intervention as she has been diagnosed of breast cancer! Please pray for total healing! Thank you
Requests:
Pray for the Lisikov family to be saved and for me to be able to start a cell group in their home. They used to be very open to the Lord, because I led one of their sons to the Lord. Then the satanists beaten him and me, and told the Lisikovs lies.
Pray for my team's health. We have cold symptoms. Pray for our important meetings this month. Pray for God's will to be done, for my health, strength. Pray for Godly wisdom in my life. For successful evangelism, for street kids to be healed and saved.
Sasha Soviet Union
Hi my brothers and sisters i really need your prayers for strength and provision i will be leaving the shelter tomorrow and for awhile i will be on the streets so your prayers will mean more than ever.GOD richly bless you brother Danny
I praise God for giving me hope at this time. Please, pray for the money for our car to come in. Our ministry needs a car in order to help the homeless kids. Pray for us to buy a car soon. Pray for our min. to grow and to be more anointed.
Pray for my Grandma: she needs salvation, deliverance from the occult, healing for her legs. I suggested for her to take part in one of our social projects. She's a very active person. Pray for her to receive a revelation of who Jesus is.
Pray for Natasha to be saved and delivered from fornication. Pray for Vania Brusnikin, who is invoved in the occult. He opposes our evangelism in the area. Pray for him to be saved and delivered. I spoke to him about Jesus, but he doesn't want to be saved.
Pray for our work among PLWA (people living with HIV&AIDS). We have more than 12 families that are attached with our church and we are supporting them with spiritual, physical and emotional support. Pray for commitment of our staff and their dedication to love them with the AGAPE love of Jesus Christ.

Pokok Doa Missi April 2009

Eropa
Ada gerakan doa syafaat dari “Gerakan EthnĂȘ ke EthnĂȘ” buat suku-suku terabaikan
di Eropa Barat, pada bulan April 09. Info: asianrd@sr21.com - www.ethne.net
Jerman (82,5 juta), Ibu kota Berlin (3,4 juta), agama: Kristen 33%, Katolik 33%, tanpa agama 28%. Kel. Jakob Octavianus, YPPII/WEC memberitakan Injil di antara orang imigran. Kel. Pdt. S. Obadja melayani di Gereja Misi Indonesia (GMI) di Frankfurt dan di berbagai gereja lain.
KM LOGOS HOPE sudah berangkat untuk pelayanan pada tanggal 19 Februari. Bapak kita sudah mengabulkan doa kita, Puji TUHAN. KM LOGOS HOPE sudah bisa mengunjungi Gothenburg, Swedia (20.-23.2.), Harlingen (25.2.-10.3.) & Scheverdingen (11.-30.3.) di Belanda. KM LOGOS HOPE akan mengunjungi di Edinburgh, Inggris 1.-14.04., Torshavn, Faroe Islands 16.-23.4., Klaksvik, Faroe Islands 23.-27.04., Belfast, Inggris 29.04.-12.05., Dublin, Irlandia 13.-26.05., Cardiff, Inggris 27.05.-09.06.
Moldavia (3,8 juta,), Ibu kota Chisinau (0,6 juta), agama: Ortodoks 70,4%, Katolik 5,8%, Kristen 3,2%. Di OM Moldavia sedang berlangsung latihan CIM (Challenge Into Mission) sampai akhir Mei. Bapak Butje L. dan Ibu Liuba (O.M. Indonesia) bertanggung jawab di keuangan dan IT (komputer). Mereka sekeluarga cuti ke Indonesia dari akhir Mei sampai pertengahan Agustus 2009. Kerinduan mereka supaya orang tua Butje boleh melihat cucu mereka secara langsung tidak hanya lewat photo saja. Mereka rindu bertemu dengan orang tua, keluarga, gereja dan sahabat mereka di Indonesia.
Rusia (140 juta), Ibu kota Moskow (10,4 juta), agama: Ortodoks 41%, Katolik 1%, Kristen 0,7%, Islam 15%, Budhis 0,7%, Animis 1%, tanpa agama 31%. Tahun 2009 sudah dijadikan tahun pemuda/i. Sudah dicetak 37,000 buah Alkitab bahasa Rusia yang sudah direvisi. Masalah besar di Rusia, bahwa semua jemaat Kristen di luar Ortodoks dinilai sebagai bidat, masyarakat mendapat peringatan jangan berhubungan dengan bidat-bidat ini. Injil benar tidak dihargai, padahal berbagai tahyul maju betul.
Romania (21 juta), Ibukota Bukarest (2 juta), agama: Ortodoks 80%, Katolik 5,1%, Kristen 3,5%, Islam 1%. Ada berbagai suku bangsa yang tinggal di negara ini: orang dari Hungaria, Bulgaria, Moldavia, Jerman, Turki, China (khusus tinggal di Bukarest: ”china-town”), Russia, orang Roma, dan Gypsy. Karena kemiskinan tinggi dan banyak penderitaan sekitar 25% warga Romania bekerja di negara-negara Eropa, di Amerika, Australia, dan New Zealand. Minta sejahtera untuk negara ini.
Afrika
Guinea-Bissau (1,7 juta), Ibu kota Bissau (0,4 juta), agama Islam 48%, Animis 42%, Katolik 7%, Kristen 2,5%. Pada 1 Maret panglima tentara dibom mati, pada tanggal 2 Maret presiden negara ini dibunuh oleh sekian orang tentara, tidak diketahui siapa pembunuh dan siapa yang di belakang kedua pembunuhan. Puji TUHAN, doa kita dikabulkan, sesudah kedua peristiwa negara tetap tenang, tidak ada kerusuhan. Anak-anak jalan di Dakar/Senegal dibawa ke Guinea Bissau untuk dibina dan mereka mendengar Injil. Bapak Pdt. Titus Dima, WEC, tetap mengajar setiap hari di Youth Center. Dalam bulan Januari yang lalu Bapak Titus sibuk menyiapkan rapat kerja tahunan yang berjalan dengan baik dan memberikan kesegaran dan semangat baru kepada segenap tim. Terima kasih atas semua dukungan doa. Bapak Titus sudah mengikuti training kepemimpinan di Jerman pada bulan Maret. Ibu Ritha M., WEC, sedang di Indonesia untuk cuti dan pelayanan di gereja-gereja. Berdoa supaya melalui pelayanan selama ia di Indonesia, dapat menolong jemaat-jemaat memahami betapa pentingnya terlibat dalam pekerjaan misi. Selama di Indonesia ia jatuh sakit. Rencana pertengahan April ia akan kembali ke ladangnya. Sesudah kembali dari cuti ia akan kembali melayani di antara orang Fulakunda, perlu kawan pelayanan. Ia akan meneruskan belajar bahasa mereka. Ibu Salomi T., WEC, sedang di Indonesia untuk melayani deputasi. Kita bersyukur atas kesehatan Ibu Salomi yang semakin membaik. Menurut hasil pemeriksaan dokter ia bisa kembali pada 15 April ke ladangnya. Doakanlah pengurusan visa ke Inggris sebelum masuk ke Guinea Bissau agar Tuhan menolong dalamnya. Beban pelayanan adalah orang Susu dan Nalu. Doakan orang yang ia tinggalkan di tempat pelayanannya, agar TUHAN sendiri akan memelihara mereka setiap hari.
Mali (13,5 juta), Ibu kota Bamako (1,2 juta), agama: Islam 80%, Animis 18%, Kristen 1,2%, bahasa: Bambara 40%, Perancis 10%, banyak bahasa lain. Di pasar-pasar banyak buku Kristen dapat dijual, kami berdoa, bahwa buku-buku ini menjadi benih keselamatan untuk masyarakat yang luas.
Senegal (13 juta), Ibukota Dakar (3 juta), agama Islam 95%, Katolik 4,5%, Kristen 0,1%. Anak-anak jalan di Dakar sebagian berasal dari suku Fula. Mereka dilayani melalui “Rumah Pengharapan”. Ada yang sudah bertobat dan berbeban untuk memberitakan Injil kepada suku sendiri. Orang Fula biasanya buta huruf, karena mereka nomad, tetapi sekarang ini makin banyak orang Fula minta ditolong untuk belajar membaca. Jemaat-jemaat sudah mulai membuka tempat-tempat belajar membaca. Sekarang ini sudah ada lebih banyak peminat daripada guru yang bisa mengajar mereka. Di tempat-tempat ini mereka juga mendengar berita Injil dan membaca dalam PB dalam bahasa mereka. Juga ada dua majalah Kristen dalam dialek mereka, juga ada program Kristen dalam bahasa mereka.
Kenia (40 juta), Ibu kota Nairobi (3 juta), agama: Kristen 39%, bidat 22%, Katolik 22% Animism 11%, Islam 8%. Di daerah perbatasan dengan Somalia ada ketegangan antara suku-suku yang tinggal di situ. Sedang tidak ada persediaan Alkitab dalam bahasa-bahasa lokal/suku, hanya ada dalam bahasa Inggris saja. Tolong berdoa, agar dalam waktu dekat Firman TUHAN dalam berbagai bahasa lokal dapat dicetak kembali dan diedarkan antara masyarakat yang tidak fasih dalam bahasa Inggris.
Djibouti (0,9 juta), agama utama Islam. Suku-suku utama Afar (36%) dan Somali (45%). Negara ini kering, karena itu sumur-sumur yang dibor oleh satu badan Kristen sangat menolong masyarakat.
Somalia (8,3 juta), Ibukota Mogadishu (1,2 juta), agama Islam. Perang saudara belum reda. Kekerasan yang terjadi di Somalia terus berlangsung dan bertambah terus. Orang Kristen diancam, malah sering kali umat Kristen ditemukan tewas. Berdoalah bagi masyarakat Somalia yang mencari Tuhan.
Eritrea (4,9 juta), agama: Islam 51%, Ortodoks 40%, Katolik 4,6%, Kristen 1,5% (Injili 20 000 orang), Animis. Bulan Januari sudah 27 orang Kristen ditahan lagi, karena mereka mengikuti kebaktian. Seorang pemimpin gereja yang sudah dipenjarakan dituduh, bahwa ia sudah membongkar rahasia negara ke luar, tuduhan bisa divonis hukuman mati.

Penyakit Kolera makin berkembang dalam negara ini. 3,700 orang mati Kolera, lebih dari 70,000 orang sakit Kolera, tetapi hanya penderita dihitung yang sampai ke rumah sakit.

Mauritania (3,1 juta), Penduduk: Suku Maur Hitam dan Putih 65%, orang Afrika Hitam 30%, Berber 5%. Agama hampir 100% Islam. Hanya sedikit orang Kristen, mereka memerlukan perlindungan. Berdoalah buku-buku rohani yang sudah dicetak, agar dapat dibagikan di antara masyarakat.

Polisi berdiri di depan gereja buat orang asing untuk memastikan, agar tidak ada orang lokal yang datang untuk beribadah. Berdoa agar orang Kristen lokal dapat terus bertemu dan tidak menjadi patah semangat karena banyak tantangan mereka hadapi. Empat orang Kristen sudah ditangkap, disiksa agar mereka memberitahukan nama-nama orang Kristen lain. Orang Kristen lain takut dan sudah melarikan diri.
Mesir (77 juta), Ibukota Kairo (16 juta), agama: Islam 86%, Koptik 10%, Kristen 0,8%. Polisi mencoba memaksa bahwa dua orang Kristen mengakui sudah membunuh seorang Islam.

Berdoalah juga bagi umat Kristen Palestina yang tidak memiliki pekerjaan dan berpenghasilan mereka sangat minim. Israel sudah menyerang Jalur Gaza, karena dari situ terus-menerus roket ditembak ke Israel, maksudnya agar penembakan akan berhenti, tetapi masih tetap roket ditembak ke Israel, dikuatirkan, bahwa Israel akan menyerang lagi untuk membalas. Berdoalah untuk damai antara orang Israel dan orang Arab.
Suriah (19,5 juta), Ibukota Damaskus (2,5 juta): Agama: Islam 90,3% (termasuk 7% aliran Alawi), Ortodoks 5,1%, orang Injili sedikit. 1,1 juta pengungsi dari Iraq hidup di negara ini. Meskipun pemerintah Iraq siap membantu setiap pengungsi yang kembali ke kampung halaman dengan uang dan fasilitas, hampir tidak ada yang mau kembali, mereka tidak yakin, hidup aman lagi, apa lagi buat orang Kristen. Negara Jerman dengan beberapa negara lain di Eropa mau terima orang Kristen pelarian dari Iraq, karena mereka mengerti, bahwa untuk mereka tidak ada keamanan di Iraq lagi.
Iraq (24,5 juta), Ibukota Baghdad (4,8 juta), orang Arab 75-80%, orang Kurdi 15-20%, orang Asyur dll 5%, agama Islam 97% (aliran Syiah 62%, aliran Sunni 35%), Katolik 1%, Ortodoks 0,5%, Kristen 0,05%.

Program radio Kristen dalam bahasa Sorani tiga kali seminggu disiarkan.
Yaman, (20 juta), Ibu kota Sana’a (1,3 juta), agama Islam (62% Sunni, 37% Syiah), 200 orang Kristen, sebagian masih tersembunyi. Negara ini kurang aman, ada pemberontakan dan penculikan/pembunuhan. Tentara negara sudah mundur dari bagian Utara, akibatnya yang radikal makin berkembang.
Uni Emirat Arab (3 juta, 25% orang asli, 75% orang asing antara lain dari negara-negara Arab lain, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Pilipina), Ibukota Abu Dhabi (1 juta), agama: Islam, antara orang asing 3% Kristen. Mereka mempunyai kebebasan untuk berkumpul dan berbakti, hanya penduduk setempat tidak boleh ikut kebaktian orang asing. Sangat diperlukan dokter dan bidan Kristen untuk rumah salinan, inilah urgen. Di kota Dubai ada kekayaan yang luar biasa dan bukan main banyak gedung raksasa dibangun. Mereka juga mau mendirikan gedung tertinggi di dunia ini, juga lapangan udara yang baru katanya akan menjadi terbesar di dunia ini. Negara modern, tetapi sekaligus adat lama ditegakkan. Baru-baru ini seorang wanita asing yang bekerja di negara ini divonis tiga bulan penjara, karena zinah. Ia akan dideportasi. Orang Kristen yang hidup di negara ini yakin, bahwa dalam waktu dekat akan banyak orang di tanah Arab berpaling kepada Kristus. Doakanlah ini.
Bahrain (1 juta), Ibukota Manama (0,2 juta), agama Islam (Syiah 65%, Sunni 35%). 62% orang Bahrain, 38% orang asing. Berdoa, bahwa pemerintah mau memberikan hak pilih agama kepada seluruh masyarakat, tidak hanya kepada orang asing yang bukan beragama Islam.

Meskipun agama Kristen dalam UUD mempunyai satu hak sebagai agama, tetapi tekanan terhadap orang Kristen di Iran makin tinggi, banyak umat Kristen ditangkap untuk diinterogasi, bahkan banyak yang akhirnya ditahan. Mereka yang ada di penjara berhadapan dengan situasi yang sulit dan penganiayaan. Orang Kristen di mana saja dirugikan. Kalau tidak ditahan paling-paling mereka dalam semua gerak gerik mereka diawasi. Kalau bisa, sudah cukup banyak lari ke luar negeri, karena mereka tidak bisa bertahan dalam ketidakadilan. Pada 12 Juni presiden baru dipilih, berdoalah, bahwa seorang yang dari bagian reform akan dipilih.
Turki (74 juta), Ibukota Ankara (3 juta), kota besar Istanbul (10 juta), agama: Islam 99,8% berbagai aliran dan dicampuri dengan berbagai kepercayaan kebatinan, okultisme, dan tahyul. Orang Injili 3500 orang Turki. Banyak orang Kristen ketakutan, mengingat pembunuhan sadis terhadap tiga orang Kristen dua tahun yang lalu. Di bagian Timur pemda setempat mau menyita sebuah biara orang Kristen Armenia yang dibangun tahun 397, pagar sudah dirusakkan dan banyak pohon dipotong. Sesudah berulang kali diancam toko buku Lembaga Alkitab Turki di kota Adana pada tanggal 7 Februari kali kedua dalam satu minggu saja dirusakkan oleh kawanan fanatik. Pintu bersama kamara dihancurkan, beberapa hari sebelum anak muda lempari kaca di muka toko dengan batu.
Afghanistan (30 juta), Ibukota Kabul (3 juta). Agama Islam secara radikal, semua agama lain dilarang keras. Sayang, situasi keamanan merosot, terus-menerus ada kekerasan, banyak korban jiwa. Hidup bagi orang asing makin susah, karena mereka harus membayar pajak yang tinggi, juga kontrak rumah tinggi, banyak ongkos imigrasi. Di samping ini keamanan untuk mereka makin lama makin susah. Tidak gampang untuk tetap tinggal dan melayani di situ.
Doakanlah Maroko (31 juta), Aljazair (33,7 juta), Lebanon, (4,5 juta), Jordania (4,8 juta), Arab Saudi (22 juta), Kuwait (2,7 juta) Qatar (0,7 juta), agar masyarakat di negara-negara ini dapat kesempatan hidup tenteram dan Injil bisa diberitakan antara mereka dengan jelas, agar mereka bisa memperoleh pengetahuan akan kebenaran dan keselamatan, lihat 1 Timotius 2:1-8.

India (1,2 milyard), Ibukota Delhi (11 juta), Agama: Hindu 81%, Islam 13%, Budhis 0,8%, Sikh 1,1%, Katolik 1%, Kristen 1,5%, dll. Jangan berhenti berdoa dan berseru kepada Bapak kita di surga, karena setiap hari ada orang Kristen yang diserang, dipukuli, kadang-kadang juga dibunuh, rumah dan toko orang Kristen dibakar atau fasilitas Kristen dirusak oleh orang fanatik yang mau membebaskan India dari ke-Kristenan. Situasi di negara bagian Orissa tetap sangat genting. Yang mengungsi tidak bisa kembali ke desa-desanya, karena ada ancaman, kalau kembali akan dibunuh. Hanya yang masuk Hindu akan dibolehkan kembali. Tetaplah berdoa bagi upaya rehabilitasi yang dilakukan. Semoga Tuhan membangun kembali hidup yang sudah dihancurkan oleh penyerang. Juga di negara-negara bagian lain ada serangan terhadap orang Kristen. Di negara bagian Karnataka, khusus di kota-kota Bangalore dan Mangalore. Gereja-gereja dibakar dan dihancurkan. Yang melapor serangan di polisi ditahan di kantor polisi dengan tuduhan mengkristenkan orang Hindu dengan paksa. Di negara bagian Uttar Pradesh orang Hindu mau dengan paksa sebuah gereja dijadikan sebuah tempat ibadah Hindu. Jemaat-jemaat di negara bagian Kerala berada dalam kesusahan, karena sebagian besar jemaat berkumpul di gedung yang disewa. Sekarang ini pemilik-pemilik gedung-gedung ini didorong, malah dipaksakan untuk membatalkan kontrak sewa dengan jemaat Kristen. Pemilik dan jemaat kuatir, jangan ada serangan oleh orang fanatik. Juga di negara-negara bagian lain ada berita, gedung gereja dihancurkan, pendeta diserang dan dipukuli dan ditahan dengan tuduhan mengkristenkan orang Hindu. Umat Kristen di Chattisgarh menghadapi masalah baru, karena beberapa parpol radikal telah kembali berkuasa. Pelayanan Kebanguan Rohani diserang oleh orang fanatik, merusakkan beberapa buah Alkitab dan pukuli para pendeta. Sesudah itu sebelas pendeta ditangkap polisi dengan berbagai tuduhan. Sesudah ini mereka dibebaskan lagi. Di negara bagian Bihar sebuah gedung gereja dibom dan dibakar, pendeta ditembak dan luka berat, beberapa anggota luka kebakaran. Orang Kristen di India memerlukan dukungan doa kita dalam berbagai tantangan ini.

Karena itu debu di mana-mana dan kekurangan air. Salah satu suku adalah suku Gurung, kepercayaan mereka bercampur antara Budhis, Hindu dan Shamanism, hanya 1-2% antara mereka orang Kristen. Doakan mereka agar semakin dekat dengan kebenaran dan mereka dapat menjadi kesaksian yang hidup. Akibat berbagai kerusuhan banyak orang hidup di kamp pengungsi, ada badan P.I. yang mau melayani mereka dalam kesusuhan. Kel. Raastrako Jyoti, Navigator, bekerja dalam rumah sakit dan di Akademi Ilmu Kesehatan, berbulan-bulan pekerjaan mereka tidak dihargai oleh atasannya, sering ada berbagai kritik yang tidak-tidak. Mereka berdoa untuk hal ini, akhirnya sesudah sati presentasi atasan mereka berubah dan menghargai pekerjaan ini di muka umum. Di samping ini mereka membina mereka yang haus akan Firman TUHAN. Mereka sudah memakai satu metode baru dalam pemahaman Alkitab dan para pengikut dalam kelompok bergembira dengan metode baru yang sangat menolong mereka dalam berbagai permasalahan mereka hadapi.
Maladewa (0,3 juta) (75 000 orang asing pekerja). Ibukota Male’, hanya agama Islam boleh, Kristen (30 orang?). Dalam bahasa Dhivehi (bahasa nasional) sudah ada kitab Kisah Para Rasul dan Lukas. Ada pelayan Injil yang belajar bahasa setempat untuk membantu orang Kristen di situ. Presiden baru yang mau reformasi negara ini, tetapi dalam peraturan agama tidak ada reformasi, malah menteri agama menjadi satu anggota parpol yang radikal. Agama Kristen tetap dilarang.

Bangladesh (160 juta), Ibukota Dhaka (11 juta, banyak di antara mereka tinggal di daerah kumuh), agama: Islam 87%, Hindu 12%, Animism 0,6%, Budhis 0,6%, Kristen 0,3%, Katolik 0,2%.

Pemerintahan dengan militernya mencoba memberantas pemberontak Karen, yang menjadi korban orang sipil yang harus melarikan diri dari pertempuran dengan tinggalkan rumah dan ladang yang sudah rusak.

Pemerintahan tetap paham komunis. Meskipun orang Kristen dianggap musuh utama untuk negara ini, jemaat-jemaat Kristen tetap bertumbuh. Orang Kristen diancam, ditahan, dipenjarkan, ada yang sudah dibunuh, karena percaya akan Kristus. Mereka memerlukan ketabahan yang luar biasa, supaya mereka tidak menyangkal imannya dan bertumbuh dalam iman.
Vietnam (87 juta), Ibukota Hanoi (2,3 juta), Ho Chi Minh City (7 juta), tetap paham komunis. Agama Budhis 55%, Katolik 5%, Kristen 0,8 juta. Kel. P-M mau menjangkau suku-suku terabaikan.

Asia Tengah
Azerbaijan (8,7 juta), Ibu kota Baku (2 juta). Agama Islam (sebagian besar aliran Shia) 80%, Kristen 0,1%.

Kirghizia (5,4 juta), Ibu kota Bishkek (0,9 juta), agama Islam 78%, Ortodoks 5%, tanpa agama 13%, Kristen 1%, orang Kirghiz asli yang Kristen 5 000 orang. Peraturan baru tentang ke-Kristenan merupakan kesusahan baru untuk jemaat-jemaat Injili, hanya jemaat yang memiliki 200 anggota dewasa bisa didaftarkan sendiri. Jemaat-jemaat di desa hanya kecil saja, bagaimana mereka bisa didaftarkan? Di bagian Selatan negara ini Injil diberitakan kepada masyarakat Kirghiz dan Uzbeki. Diharapkan Bapak kita akan membentuk satu gereja bersama dua masyarakat ini. Kel. P. Hengkesa, YPPII, membina enam anak asuh dan melayani dalam jemaat Logos dan di cabang-cabang jemaat Logos. Ibu Pdt. Heidy Tangkere, YPPII, sedang cuti di Indonesia, ia siap berangkat lagi, tetapi ia memerlukan visa baru yang sedang diurus. Sulit untuk mendapat visa baru, doakanlah. Doa kita belum dikabulkan.
Uzbekistan (27,3 juta), Ibu kota Tashkent (2,2 juta), agama: Islam Sunni 88%, Ortodoks 8%, Kristen 0,3%, yang suku Uzbeki, 10 ribu. Semua kegiatan ibadah, persekutuan doa, PA, dan penginjilan yang tidak terdaftar oleh yang berwajib merupakan tindak kejahatan di mata pemerintah. Tetapi jemaat-jemaat yang mau mendaftarkan diri tidak diterima dari instansi tertentu. Para pemimpin gereja perlu hikmat dalam situasi ini. Gereja-gereja tidak boleh mengimpor Alkitab, karena itu Firman TUHAN cetak kurang ada, pelayanan terganggu. Orang tua dan guru-guru sekolah dipanggil oleh polisi dan mereka diancam jangan mengizinkan anak-anak mereka mengunjungi kebaktian gereja Baptis.
Tajikistan (6,8 juta), Ibu kota Dushambe (0,6 juta). Agama Islam 89%, tanpa agama 9%, Ortodoks 1,2%. Kristen 0,03%.

Percetakan Alkitab Nanjing sudah mencetak Alkitab, PB, bagian-bagian Alkitab, dan selembar-selembar berisi Firman TUHAN, sebagian besar bahan yang dicetak adalah bagian Alkitab saja. Alkitab lengkap yang dicetak jauh kurang dari kebutuhan di China. Masih banyak Alkitab diperlukan buat gereja-gereja rumah yang melayani mereka yang frustasi karena krisis ekonomi. Karena masalah ekonomi 20 juta pekerja kembali ke kampung halaman, kesempatan baik untuk jemaat-jemaat rumah mendampingi mereka yang kecewa dan bingung karena kehilangan pekerjaan. Para pendeta memerlukan satu juta Alkitab studi untuk menyiapkan pelayanan Firman TUHAN yang lebih baik. Doakan mereka yang membawa Alkitab, buku Kristen dan berbagai pertolongan dalam pelayanan ke dalam, meskipun pemerintah tidak mau mengizinkan hal ini. Syukurlah Alkitab bisa dibaca dan dipelajari dalam Internet, juga ada dalam CD atau DVD. Tetapi bagaimanapun tetap ada kekurangan.
Materialisme merupakan untuk banyak orang nilai satu-satunya mereka pegang. Karena itu ada banyak masalah dalam negara ini. Nilai-nilai hidup lain makin menghilang. Gereja mempunyai satu tugas yang luas untuk mengajar masyarakat tentang nilai-nilai kekal yang berasal dari surga.

“Faith is the key which open one’s life to God”. Mark 11:22
I hope that you will enter into Gods presence by faith, to Him who has given us so much promises. For others but also for yourself. Roberto Wijnhof.
My mother in law (AJ) and brother in law (Ash) -both unsaved, suffered from unsound mind/total demonic control. After the death of AJ 3 months ago, we have brought Ash to live with us (no one else to look after him) but our Peace has gone. Please pray for our deliverance from demons that may have infiltrated into our lives/home as a result. Thank you for your deep prayers for us and May God bless you abundant!
Take a moment today to look at the condition of your community. Is there a beggar in the street? Did a child knock on your car’s window this morning asking for money or food? Do you know of a single parent in your community that can barely make ends meet? Consider: To give without the thought of wanting anything in return. Give with the intention to bless, for you are called to be a blessing (this does not necessarily mean anything materialistic, but time, words of comfort, a hug, compassion, etc.). He who has pity on the poor lends to the Lord, and He will pay back what he has given. (Prov.19:17).
Hi my brothers and sisters asking special prayer for Peters Place the seniors here now are getting angry feeling they have been betrayed, asking prayer for strength and provision to be a voice of hope and faith .GOD richly bless you. brother Danny
Imagine spending 10 years with little more than 2,4 sq m to yourself. The cell is badly ventilated, the food is not great, and somewhere along the line you got tuberculosis (TB) and for some reason the warder isn't bringing you your pills anymore. The reality in prisons around the country is that they're a health horror. And the fact that you are not in jail does not mean you are not affected. Some have gone as far as describing prisons as "epidemiological pumps" that fuel the TB epidemic on the outside. Prisons in South Africa are about 40% over capacity. An estimated 60% of prisoners are in prisons that are more than 150% full. Jesus said, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to Me. Jesus also came to set the captives free. Pray for them and bear this in mind as you pray for prisoners and the condition that they are living in.
Christian human rights attorney Gao Zhisheng, has now been missing 50 days, and there is increasing concern for his life. He was last seen being hauled away from his home by more than a dozen police officers on February 4. Reports from inside China indicate he is undergoing brutal torture.
The situation is critical, and with each day that passes, Gao Zhisheng's life hangs in the balance.
Because of Gao's work defending house church Christians and others persecuted in China, the Chinese government wants to silence his voice. ChinaAid president, Bob Fu calls Gao's torture "the most severe persecution in China's modern history." Gao's wife and two children, who have also been abused and tormented by the police, escaped to the U.S. less than two weeks ago. His family is afraid that authorities, furious at their escape, are taking revenge on Gao.
Urgent prayer is needed for church mediation and a resolution to conflict between the President of Madagascar and the ex-Mayor of Antananarivo which has resulted in 100 deaths. The Christian Churches in Madagascar began successful mediation between the two sides but they appear to have stalled. The situation is described as ‘a social explosion of great anger all over the country.' While the people remain in deep poverty, political leaders steal the wealth of the country. As the stalemate continues, food is becoming rare and expensive. Please pray that the mediation talks would be resumed. Ask God to bring an acceptance of justice and righteous conclusions to every obstacle. Pray that the Church of Christ will be God’s voice in this situation and that those who have an ear will abide to what the Spirit of the Lord is saying.
By the God's will we have delivered the warehouse in which the Church was located. This, because the owners of the building want to sell it and it is not possible for us to buy it. We had hard days moving all our things. We don't have found a place to establish the Church and Administrative office. But we have being celebrating the meetings in a place we can rent for hours. Please pray for a solution.
Pray for the Begumpur Church in Delhi. They have got a piece of land to build a church in that area. But they do not have enough of money. Pray that God may provide all their financial needs. We believe God will do it within this year. In faith we want to start construction from June, 2009. Also pray for Pr. Chandra, as he is serving the Lord in that area. Pray that God will give him more strength and power and bless him. Pray for his wife and two children.
Praise God for Jharoda Church Believers in Delhi who are growing in faith & in Spirit. God is spreading his work. Pray that we may raise many leaders who will spread his kingdom. Pray for our Associate Pastor Dinesh Dass, that God will give him wisdom, knowledge, power & strength & use him mightily in this area. Pray for his wife and two sons too.
We Praise God for Sis. Hemlata , a teacher and Motivator in the Child Development Project of our Church at Surajpark. She had a deep spot in her neck that was suspected of a serious sickness, but when the Church prayed, God gave her completely healing. Please also praise God for brother Sunny who is an accountant in the same project as God heal him from his severe stomach pain.
Pray for Pastor Shyamdhami , he is serving the Lord in Mubarakpur and Ranapark area. Pray for his family and his ministry. Specially remember Anandamayee his wife who needs Gods favour. Pray for Sis. Meena, from Ranapark Church, who is married but has no child after eight years. Pray that God will bless her with the fruit of her womb and that she will glorify God’s name in the community.
Deliverance and protection from evil spirits due to witchcraft/black magic + health & peace.
Colombian pastor missing for six months
Your prayers and action will make a vital difference to the family of Pastor William Reyes.
Yesterday, Luz Nelly, William and Estefania celebrated a very sombre anniversary - it is six months since they last saw their father. As you may recall, Pastor Reyes disappeared while travelling home from the city of Valledupar on 25 September. They have not seen or heard from him since.
There have been a number of worrying developments in the case since the start of this year: threatening messages being left for India, strangers attempting to grab their daughter, and unidentified armed men allegedly entering a local church and forcibly removing a female parishioner.
We are concerned for their safety and ask that you stand together with them at this time.

Kisah Adam dari Pasifik Selatan


Kisah Adam dari Pasifik Selatan
Misionaris-misionaris yang pertama datang Di Wilayah Pasifik Selatan
200 tahun lalu Terkesima dengan keindahan daratan hijau dan
wanita-wanita dengan rambut panjang yang hitam namun mereka
juga terkejut dengan ketidakberadaban, pengorbanan manusia dan
penyembahan berhala yang mereka temukan. Syukur untuk kerja
keras dari para misionaris pionir ini Sekarang mungkin ada tidak
kurang dari 30 kelompok etnik Di bagian dunia yang memiliki sedikit hubungan dengan
injil ini Dan hari-hari ini, Penduduk kepulauan Pasifik membawa injil pada langkah
berikutnya Kami berdoa agar Tuhan membantu kami menolong mereka yang berada
pada kelompok yang tersisa ini
Pada saat Jacob Abufa'asia kembali ke rumahnya pada tahun 1904, Injil untuk pertama
kalinya datang ke wilayahnya di Pasifik Selatan Dia menjadi kristen melalui pelayanan
Dari Misi Kanaka Queensland Badan misi ini bekerja diantara para pekerja Kepulauan
Laut Selatan Di Perkebunan gula Queensland Injil menyebar secara cepat diantara
penduduk pesisir, Namun para penduduk pegunungan masih tetap tidak terjangkau.
Dikarenakan perubahan dramatis dalam kehidupannnya, Abufa'asia seperti terjangkit
parah dengan sebuah penyakit – Kekristenan - dan dia ingin membagikannya kepada
yang lain Sehingga mereka akan menjadi pembawa dari penyakit itu juga. Abufa'asia
akhirnya meninggal dengan damai di masa tuanya namun buah dari kerja kerasnya
berkelanjutan dan Penyebaran penyakit – Kekristenan - Menjangkit banyak orang-orang
muda Saya tahu karena saya salah satu dari mereka: Nama saya Adam.
Kehidupan di banyak bagian dari kepulauan Solomon tetap Terpusat di sekitar
Kepemilikan tanah- secara bersama dan ditopang oleh pertanian dan perikanan Kami
meneruskan pekerjaan yang Abufa'asia mulai Membawa injil ini Untuk mereka yang
membutuhkan, Penduduk primitif pegunungan Kwaio yang terhilang Mereka tinggal di
Malaita Tengah Kepulauan Solomon, di belahan gunung wilayah hutan tropis. Mereka
adalah pemburu dan petani, Mengolah kentang manis dan mengikuti kepercayaan
tradisional setempat.
Penduduk pegunungan Kwaio mungkin Salah satu dari beberapa kelompok suku di
Kepulauan Solomon. Masih kurang dari 2% yang terinjili Dengan pelayanan yang baru
berlangsung 10 tahun.
Pada tahun 1993, tiga puluh gereja Kwaio Timur Membentuk panitia misi dan saya
ditunjuk menjadi koordinatornya Wilayah Pegunungan dibagi menjadi 7 Daerah atau
pusat perkemahan yang dibangun dekat dengan tempat tinggal mereka Kami pergi ke
sana dan membawa pakaian, Panci, peralatan makan, bahan-bahan makanan, beras,
ikan, dll Kami melakukan hal ini pada hari tertentu dan mengundang pemuka agama
suku Dengan keluarga mereka bertemu kami di pusat perkemahan Kami betemu dari
jam 6 pagi sampai 6 sore Kami bernyanyi dan bermain drama, memberikan kesaksian
dan menunjukkan film Yesus, Berkotbah dan memberikan hadiah-hadiah yang kami
bawa. Seringkali mereka akan menangis keras dan meminta kami datang dan
Membangun gereja di pedesaan mereka dan mengirim misionaris ke mereka, kami telah
membangun beberapa gereja sekarang dan Tuhan sedang mengerjakan perkara yang
dahsyat di antara mereka.
Sekitar 40 – 70 orang menjadi percaya setiap tahunnya - dan pada tahun 2005,
jumlahnya mencapai 770 meningkat dari tahun 1993. Jumlah penduduk Kwaio adalah
13,249 menurut survei pada tahun 1999 dan kami memperkirakan masih ada 2000
penduduk untuk dijangkau di pegunungan mereka masih tinggal di gubuk rumput Kami
mohon dukungan anda untuk usaha misi kami untuk menjangkau suku kwaio dengan
injil.
Pasifik Selatan adalah wilayah dengan jumlah terkecil dari kelompok suku-suku
terabaikan dari 12 wilayah di dunia. Mungkin kurang dari 30 kelompok secara
keseluruhan, namun banyak bagian dari kepulauan pasifik ada pada tahap postkekristenan,
hampir seperti gereja di Eropa. Namun, Tuhan telah mulai membangkitkan
gerejanya di tempat-tempat seperti Fiji. 14 Mei 2006 adalah deklarasi ke 400 tahun
Dibuat oleh Pedro Ferdandez de Quiros ketika dia bernubuat bahwa tanah yang tak
dikenal ini sampai ke bagian selatan dimana dia berdiri akan menjadi “terra australis de
Espiritu Santo,” atau “Kepulauan Selatan Roh Kudus.” Berdoa agar Tuhan mengirimkan
api kebangunan rohani dan melahap semua Kepulauan pasifik dan seluruh belahan
dunia, mengubah orang-orang dan bangsa-bangsa mereka! Berdoa untuk Suku
terabaikan yang tersisa di Pasifik Selatan juga.
PEMBARUAN
Minta Tuhan untuk membawa penggenapan proklamasi profetik 400 tahun ini Bahwa
gereja-gereja di Pasifik Selatan bangkit dengan kuasa dan Pengurapan Roh Kudus
untuk secara berani menyatakan kabar baik Memproklamasikan bukan hanya untuk
suku-suku terabaikan yang tersisa di wilayah ini, namun di seluruh belahan dunia!
KEPENUHAN SUMBER DAYA
Berdoa agar Tuhan membuat tubuh-tubuh Kristus bekerja dengan kekreatifan illahi-NYA
dan dalam kesatuan Roh untuk menghadapi setiap batasan untuk injil di setiap
kelompok suku.
GENERASI YANG BANGKIT
Berdoa untuk penggenapan Maleakhi Bahwa Anak Kebenaran bangkit dengan
kesembuhan di sayap-Nya, Mengembalikan hati bapa-bapa pada anak-anak dan hati
anak-anak pada bapanya. Berdoa agar berkat-berkat iman dan keberanian dari
generasi sebelumnya Diteruskan pada generasi muda sehingga mereka dapat
menjangkau generasi mereka bagi Yesus.
PESAT
Berdoa agar Firman Tuhan akan menyebar dengan pesat dan dihormati seperti yang
diproklamasikan diantara mereka oleh para pria dan wanita setia Terutama di antara
suku-suku terabaikan yang tersisa.
YANG TERSISA
Berdoa untuk Suku-suku terabaikan yang masih tersisa di Pasifik Selatan Untuk
dijangkau dan bergandengan tangan di dalam Tuhan satu sama lain, dan orang-orang
percaya di seluruh belahan dunia untuk menjangkau dan mengubah Kelompok yang
tersisa dengan Kerajaan Allah

Cuban pastor’s trial suspended
Pastor Rodriguez and family
Latest news from Cuba reports that Reverend Rodriguez’s trial was again unexpectedly suspended, however, no reason has been given and the charges still stand.
You can speak up on behalf of Reverend Rodriguez by sending a letter to the Cuban embassy – see the right-hand column for details.
Attacks on the family
Reverend Rodriguez was hospitalised last week for stomach problems and was diagnosed with pan-gastritis. Doctors confirmed that the stress of the situation with the authorities has aggravated his illness.
We are also deeply concerned by reports from his family that neighbours continue to carry out acts of aggression against their family, apparently with the tacit support of local authorities. The family has been forced to move for their own safety, neighbours have damaged their septic tank, leaving them with no sanitary facilities in their home, and destroyed their water pipes, leaving them without water. There have been no repercussions for the neighbours who seem to enjoy the support of the authorities.
The daughter-in-law of Reverend Rodriguez, Gianelys Meneses, was attacked on the street while walking with her two-year old daughter. As a result, she suffered a miscarriage at eight weeks. Even more alarmingly, she has been told by the authorities that they may charge her as responsible for the attack.
As you may recall Gianelys’ husband, Eric Gabriel Rodriguez, was convicted in December on the same charges against his father, “offensive behaviour” and was sentenced to three months to one year of house arrest with the possibility of imprisonment if he “re-offends”.
The family has requested that representations be made to the Cuban government and in particular to the Ministry of Religious Affairs; asking that the charges against Reverend Rodriguez be dropped, that the conviction of Pastor Eric Gabriel Rodriguez be thrown out, and that the local authorities should guarantee the safety and protection of this family.
Pray
- Pray all charges against the Revered Rodriguez and his son would be dropped.
- Pray for Reverend Rodriguez’s health, that he would be healed and restored.
- Pray for the family of Reverend Rodriguez as this situation continues to be prolonged, that they would be strengthened and protected from further harm.
- Pray for those harassing this family, that they would stop their campaign, drop all charges and ultimately come to know the Lord.
- Praise God that He did intervene in December and February and that He is the same yesterday, today and forever and is able to intervene again.
Please pray for the restoration of our marriage. Please pray for my wife M. that her heart will become soft and that we will not divorce. A.M. Pakistan.
Please pray that everything necessary will happen so every obstacle to breakthrough would be removed to my eldest daughter, and second youngest daughter returning to Christ, and that all my daughters will love and desire fellowshipping with other Christians, Going Weekly To Church and loving and desiring Jesus with all their hearts and fulfilling God's Desires. Please pray that Christ be formed in each of my daughters.
Please also pray that my teenage daughters will willingly help at home with what is reasonable and necessary while their mum (my wife) recovers.
Many Thanks
Husband may be laid off (72yrsold) he needs this job as we have just learned I have ra. I lost my job since I've been in pain and sometimes not able to walk due to swelling in my foot. He is a good worker and never off. Thanking you in advance.
Please pray for me, I would like to get married this year. S.M. Pakistan.
I have a long-term disability (though no longer paralysed) as a result of a hit & run 20 years ago. I have had my daily help stopped, I’m unable to care for myself independently. I need healing, money to live independently & maybe a new place to live. I believe my difficulties to be a symptom of a spiritual stronghold in this city. For decades in this city there has been a culture of sexual & ritual abuse amongst professionals & a tolerance of arrogant & deceitful cover ups.

Cuban pastor’s trial suspended
Pastor Rodriguez and family
Latest news from Cuba reports that Reverend Rodriguez’s trial was again unexpectedly suspended, however, no reason has been given and the charges still stand.
You can speak up on behalf of Reverend Rodriguez by sending a letter to the Cuban embassy – see the right-hand column for details.
Attacks on the family
Reverend Rodriguez was hospitalised last week for stomach problems and was diagnosed with pan-gastritis. Doctors confirmed that the stress of the situation with the authorities has aggravated his illness.
We are also deeply concerned by reports from his family that neighbours continue to carry out acts of aggression against their family, apparently with the tacit support of local authorities. The family has been forced to move for their own safety, neighbours have damaged their septic tank, leaving them with no sanitary facilities in their home, and destroyed their water pipes, leaving them without water. There have been no repercussions for the neighbours who seem to enjoy the support of the authorities.
The daughter-in-law of Reverend Rodriguez, Gianelys Meneses, was attacked on the street while walking with her two-year old daughter. As a result, she suffered a miscarriage at eight weeks. Even more alarmingly, she has been told by the authorities that they may charge her as responsible for the attack.
As you may recall Gianelys’ husband, Eric Gabriel Rodriguez, was convicted in December on the same charges against his father, “offensive behaviour” and was sentenced to three months to one year of house arrest with the possibility of imprisonment if he “re-offends”.
The family has requested that representations be made to the Cuban government and in particular to the Ministry of Religious Affairs; asking that the charges against Reverend Rodriguez be dropped, that the conviction of Pastor Eric Gabriel Rodriguez be thrown out, and that the local authorities should guarantee the safety and protection of this family.
Pray
- Pray all charges against the Revered Rodriguez and his son would be dropped.
- Pray for Reverend Rodriguez’s health, that he would be healed and restored.
- Pray for the family of Reverend Rodriguez as this situation continues to be prolonged, that they would be strengthened and protected from further harm.
- Pray for those harassing this family, that they would stop their campaign, drop all charges and ultimately come to know the Lord.
- Praise God that He did intervene in December and February and that He is the same yesterday, today and forever and is able to intervene again.
Please pray for the restoration of our marriage. Please pray for my wife M. that her heart will become soft and that we will not divorce. A.M. Pakistan.
Please pray that everything necessary will happen so every obstacle to breakthrough would be removed to my eldest daughter, and second youngest daughter returning to Christ, and that all my daughters will love and desire fellowshipping with other Christians, Going Weekly To Church and loving and desiring Jesus with all their hearts and fulfilling God's Desires. Please pray that Christ be formed in each of my daughters.
Please also pray that my teenage daughters will willingly help at home with what is reasonable and necessary while their mum (my wife) recovers.
Many Thanks

I have a long-term disability (though no longer paralysed) as a result of a hit & run 20 years ago. I have had my daily help stopped, I’m unable to care for myself independently. I need healing, money to live independently & maybe a new place to live. I believe my difficulties to be a symptom of a spiritual stronghold in this city. For decades in this city there has been a culture of sexual & ritual abuse amongst professionals & a tolerance of arrogant & deceitful cover ups. Please pray for my healing & for this city; thanking God for the victory already won in Christ Jesus.
