"Everyone needs forgiveness"... Pray for South Africa
As the World Cup approaches, let us pray that God would bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ (the good news that He is the Savior of the world: eternal life, forgiveness of sins, and the resultant life-transformation to all who believe in Him) into South Africa..... to the athletes, the tourists, the natives, etc... and from there, back to the home towns afterward....
The following blurb is from a prayer guide on www.exoduscry.com:
The 2010 FIFA World Cup is the first World Cup to be held on the continent
of Africa. This is a historic opportunity for the world to witness
and experience the beauty, culture, and industry of the Republic of South
Africa. But there is a dark side to this event – the demand for sex that
will come from the thousands of fans flooding into the country. To meet
this demand, organized crime groups are trafficking in as many as 40,000
women and children to be exploited in the sex industry during this 31-day
global event.
This prayer guide is a strategic tool to unify the body of Christ in intercession
during these 31-days of heightened trafficking activity. Each day we
are looking at a name or characteristic of God and declaring it over this
issue, the perpetrators, and the victims. Though the groaning of the prisoners
has too often failed to reach the ears of men, their cries have been heard
in the courts of heaven. Let’s partner together with the heart of God over
this issue. Use this resource in your private times of prayer, in small group
prayer, or in your church. Thank you for engaging with us in intercession
during this hour of crisis.
