Download for Free Mobile Prayer Digest GPD for March 2009
26 Feb
The focus of Global Prayer Digest for March 2009 is on the War-Weary Muslims of Russian. Keith Carey, Managing Editor of GPD writes in this month’s prayer digest’s editorial:
Dear Praying FriendsI am writing this the day after our 2008 elections here in the United States. My state, California, had recently adopted same-sex marriage, because four justices considered it to be constitutional. Then Proposition 8 appeared on the November election ballot that would force the state constitution to define marriage as being “between one man and one woman.” Voters in this state have a “live and let live” attitude towards social issues, and there was a lot more money spent to defeat the proposition than to uphold it. Public opinion polls indicated that it would be defeated. In the natural realm, it would surely have failed.
But something happened that even won the attention of the highly secular Los Angeles Times. A group of intercessors, led by Pastor Lou Engel, spent months praying and fasting for Proposition 8 to pass. Apparently there were 3,000 churches involved with this prayer effort. Against any human reasoning, it did pass! Oh me with my little faith! I really didn’t expect that to happen!
Likewise, it is very hard to imagine small people groups in Russia that have been Muslim for centuries putting their faith in Christ. To a large degree, members of the Russian Orthodox Church provide a poor example of how Christians should live. But for this month at least, can we all imagine these Muslims giving their hearts to the Savior? Will we have faith as big as a mustard seed, and pray accordingly?
In Christ,
