South Asia: Thousands seek God's forgiveness
‘I am Kallayya, a 45 year old man. I fell from a tree 5 years ago and had been bedridden after injuring my spinal cord. Doctors said I would never walk again. I was brought to the Crusades and laid on the floor of a nearby building. God touched me through the preaching of His Word. I am completely healed and am able to go to the fields for work.’ Thousands received Christ in South Asia in two days of Gospel Crusades last month. People learnt the simple and profound truth that God loves them and desires an eternal relationship with them. The crusades produced 3,420 decisions to follow Jesus! In a land where human sacrifice still takes place and Christians are martyred for their faith, believers are fully dependent on God as their source. Continue to pray for the people of south Asia as further Crusades are held across South Asia.
Pray: for more of God's anointed teaching, healing and deliverance in every region where people have not yet heard His message. (Mt.24:14)

70,000 plus pray in Cairo
Last week more than 70,000 prayed all night in Cairio, but they weren't Muslims. The largest Christian event in Egypt for more than a millennium was held at St. Simeon the Tanner Coptic Orthodox Church in Mokattam, Cairo's largest ‘garbage city’. An Egyptian Christian leader called it the beginning of a revival, even though there was no promotion for, or media coverage of the all-night event. Back in September 2009, during a prayer meeting in Egypt, the event's organizer prophesied that President Mubarak would receive ‘no grace’ in 2011; the Spirit further revealed that there would be bloodshed, persecution and the destruction of churches, but if God's people would hear His voice and repent, then He would hear their prayers. Fast forward to Oct. 9, 2011, when many Coptic Christians were killed in Cairo; in response, Christian leaders met for 3 days of prayer, after which they announced their intention of an all-night prayer event for all of Egypt.
Praise: God for the way He is calling His people to prayer in a place of need. (Ps.62:8)

Uganda and Haiti Sponsored children elected into Parliament
Two former sponsored children of charity organization Compassion have been elected into the Parliaments of Uganda and Haiti. Beguens Theus from Haiti and Margaret Makhoha from Uganda both grew up in sheer poverty, but Christian sponsors gave them a chance to rise out of that desperate situation, get an education and (through a Leadership Development Programme) go to university. By God’s grace and their own will and motivation they now reached this position of responsibility to serve their nations. ‘Giving children a chance can make a huge difference,’ says Martijn Moens, a spokesman of the charity organization in the Netherlands. ‘More than others, these new members of Parliament understand the needs of the poor and are motivated to work towards structural change in their nation.’ Compassion works in 26 developing nations and provides one-on-one sponsoring for 1.2 million children. The charity provides programmes in partnership with local churches.
Praise: God for the way He has blessed these young people. (Ps.37:5-6)
