Do you believe that you can make an impact in these countries through your prayers?
I don't know if you keep up with international news or not, but if you do, you can see that there have been some things stirring in these countries that we have specifically brought before The Lord.
The prayers of a righteous man avails much.
That means that as we pray together for these countries we can bring in the Kingdom of God in distant lands.
Also, as we pray for countries, if The Lord really touches your heart for one of these countries, then stay with it; dig into the history, find more about the specifics that you can pray about. I believe God will use some of you in mighty ways for specific countries. But, also please stay with us as we pray to impact countries around the world.
This week we will praying for the Republic of Sudan.
May The Lord our God bless you as you challenge the liar in these countries.

The Islamic State of Afghanistan is our focus this week. It is an Asian landlocked country that has a history of violence from within and without. The nation of 28 million people is 99% Muslim. According to world statistics, it is the 2nd least developed country and one of the poorest. The Afghans are a proud people with a complex history of using arms to settle disputes. Pray that peace will be a desire of all the people of Afghanistan and they will look to the Prince of Peace to heal their nation.
Haiti and North Korea have come back in the news this week.
Thank you for your prayers for the Nations!

This week the country to pray for is Thailand.
Kingdom of Thailand, formerly Siam, is a constitutional monarchy. This Buddhist country has been in the news the past few years because of the political turmoil in the mainly Muslim south and the continued protests between the 'red shirts' and yellow shirts'. The nation faces severe economic problems because the unrest has hurt the tourism industry that accounts for much of the country's income. King Bhumibol Adulyadej is considered divine and has served as monarch since 1946.
Despite the country being open to the Gospel, there has been little impact. The country is 95% Buddhist.
Pray Christianity will begin to influence the people and the Christians serving in Thailand will have favor with the government.

Escaping North Korea
Good Morning
As I was looking/seeking/wondering which country we are to hone in on this week, I kept coming back to Korea.
I kept thinking of what it would be like if I was raising a family in North Korea today. And then I thought about the stark contrast between North and South Korea.
There are people who sneak across the border from N. Korea into China. If caught in China they will be returned to N. Korea where they are almost always tortured and then forgotten about in prison, or they are killed.
In order to be safe, they have to make their way from the Chinese/N. Korean border all the way to the SW part of China [Yunnan Province]. That is like traveling from Maine to LA. They travel by train or bus or any way they can and hope they don't get caught. They then must cross into Laos or Myanmar [Burma] and then cross into Thailand, where they can finally feel relatively safe. Most then eventually end up in South Korea.
Oh, and even if they do make it to safety, usually, family members left behind in N. Korea. are severely punished.
Meanwhile, in S. Korea, most of the people flourish, the Christian community continues to impact the world as the S. Koreans send out missionaries around the world. They have many working in China.
So, please continue to pray for North Korea and pray for the unity of the Koreas and that God will make it a great Christian nation to be used for His honor and glory.
Sorry this is so long. The main thing it to PRAY FOR KOREA.
All praise to His Holy Name

A Little Wisdom From Will Rogers
Will Rogers, who died in a 1935 plane crash with his best friend, Wylie Post, was probably the greatest political sage this country ever has known.
Enjoy the following:
1. Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco.
2. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.
3.. There are two theories to arguing with a woman . . Neither works.
4. Never miss a good chance to shut up.
5. Always drink upstream from the herd.
6. If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.
7. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it and put it back into your pocket.
8. There are three kinds of men: The ones that learn by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.
9. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
10. If you're riding' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there.
11. Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier'n puttin' it back.
12. After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him. The moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.
