This October, we are turning to the nation of Myanmar as our prayer focus. What a strategic time to focus in prayer for a great nation and friends that serve God with every fabric of their being. If there is one takeaway that we have from a year full of turmoil and changes, it is that our priority is, in fact, prayer. Prayer is what changes nations, people, and the atmosphere. Meeting people\’s needs is still our passion, but prayer must remain our priority.
November 8th, 2020 is a significant day in Myanmar\’s short democratic history; it is the day of the general election. This election is a significant one as it catches Myanmar at the tail end of the Rohingya genocide, one of the worst human rights atrocities in recent history. Having walked and prayed on the Rakhine border and with refugees, there is no doubt that we need to see righteousness restored in Myanmar. Our hope is not in the election or the person who may become president. Our hope is firmly rooted in Jesus Christ and we are believing that, through His resurrection power, we may bear witness to a mighty move of the Holy Spirit taking place in Myanmar.
Our friends have been strategic in walking and praying in places of spiritual activity and government centers, from Kalay, Tuanggyi, Mandalay, Lashio, Bagan, Sittwe, and Yangon.
When praying for Myanmar this month, please pray this scripture over the land and our dear friends: \”so prepare your minds for action, be completely sober (in spirit-steadfast, self-disciplined, spiritually and morally alert), fix you your hope completely on the grace (of God) that is coming to you when Jesus Christ is revealed.” (1 Peter 1:13 AMP)
Our hopes are up in Myanmar.
