Join us for 30 Days of Prayer for Global Awakening, March 11-April 9, 2024.
HAITI: Violence has increased all the more in Port-au-Prince with thousands protesting the cancellation of the February 7 elections. Hundreds have been wounded and at least five died from gunfire. Out-of-control gang violence has left Haiti without a functioning government for several years. The Caribbean island country has been without a president since the last one’s assassination in 2021, and no elections have occurred since 2016. Of the 200,000 people internally displaced, about 31,000 sleep in the open air.
MIDDLE EAST: The US and UK continue their air strikes on Houthi targets in YEMEN in an effort to disable terrorist attacks on ships in the Red Sea and on American troops. The US has increased strikes on IRAN-backed groups attacking US troops from within IRAQ and SYRIA. Meanwhile, Hezbollah launched more than 30 rockets from LEBANON into the Upper Galilee region of ISRAEL. Exchange of fire across the border has been building since the October 7 Hamas invasion of Israel. In GAZA, at least 300,000 people face famine-like conditions as the Israel-Hamas war proceeds.
INDIA: At least five have died, with over 150 injured after clashes in Haldwani (170 miles northeast of New Delhi) on Thursday, as thousands of protesters tried to block the government’s demolition of a Muslim mosque and seminary currently under construction. Discrimination and violent attacks against Christians, Muslims and other minorities are on the increase, as more and more Hindu extremists, including candidates in the upcoming April elections, seek zero tolerance of other religions.
DRC (Democratic Republic of the Congo): Tens of thousands have fled their homes in the northeast due to escalated violence between the Congolese army and M23 militia. Since February 2, some 42,000 people are now displaced from Masisi alone. Over the last year, deaths, abductions and sexual violence against children increased over 40 percent, and recruitment of children into armed groups has increased more than 45 percent. Since 1996, about 6 million people have died in DRC due to internal conflict.
USA: In one month (December) more than 302,000 migrants were documented trying to cross the US southern border. And just this past week, 8,659 illegal immigrants from 73 different countries were apprehended by San Diego Border Patrol, including many from CHINA who used TikTok to find a gap in the fence and slip through unhindered. When asked why the USA, they said they’re seeking “freedom.” (Sarah Rumpf-Whitten, Bill Melugin, Fox News, February 8)
Lord, please awaken every heart in each of these countries and situations to Your love. So much danger, death and instability remind us of humanity’s desperate need for You. Please rescue those in danger, comfort those who grieve, and speak to the hearts of those who are afraid or hurting. Touch each heart in such personal ways they will at last realize You are the One they long for. When they cry out to You, answer them, O Lord, in a way they will recognize You. Give the lost a hunger for peace, meaning, acceptance and love which can only be found in You. Bring Christians to them to show them Your love, care for their needs and share the good news of Your salvation. Bless Your people abundantly so they will also abundantly share with those in need around them. Bring Christian counselors, medical workers and other aid workers to those in need. And set the captives free, Lord. Lift the veil from the eyes of the lost so they will see You as You truly are and surrender their hearts to You as Savior. In the midst of every trial and tragedy, push back the enemy’s purposes, and bring forth Yours. Convince us of Your truth. Let us feel Your love like never before. And bring forth Your Kingdom in every heart, home, city and nation. Yes, Lord, awaken the whole Earth to Your salvation. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
