Rescue me, O LORD, from evil men; protect me from men of violence, Ps 140:1
Former Prime Minister NAWAZ SHARIF is tearing the country apart. The SupremeCourt wants to bring him and three of his adult children who they feel are guilty back into court. His wife is in London undergoing cancer surgery; she was planning to run in his place. Perhaps because of this development, Nawaz has himself returned and forced his way back to being the head of his party. He wants them to overturn the rules and make it possible for him to once again return to power.
The outcome is that several of the fanatic groups are using this opportunity to rise up.
PRAY- for peace. Pray that fanatics do not get an opportunity.
VISAS – HOPE – With the new government, some feel there is hope that visas
may be granted. Thanks for praying. Please continue to.
Pray for a better a RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PAKISTAN AND AMERICA.
America has accused Pakistan of not doing enough to take out the terrorists. Pakistan says they have been hurt more by terrorists than any other country. They have lost more militarypersonnel through this war than anyone else. Even today the Pakistani papers report terrorists killing military (particularly leaders and intelligence personnel), police, and government leaders, especially those who speak out against them.
On the other side, the government tells of almost daily exploits of taking out terrorist leaders. It is like an unending war that the evil one is leading to destroy people.
PRAY People are very tired and afraid of this. Pray for PEACE just PEACE and for
God’s judgment on the ungodly.
PRAISE – Pakistan’s rescue of the American/Canadian family seems to have
opened American eyes to the fact that Pakistan is trying.
PRAISE - Talks are beginning in the next couple of days between American and
Pakistani civil and military officials in the US capital on counterterrorism.
PRAISE - US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson meets in Islamabad on the 24th for
talks on rebuilding ties between the two countries.
PRAISE - In December Defense Secretary James Mattis will travel to Pakistan to
continue the reconciliation process that began with Prime MinistrShahid Abbasi
and US Vice President Mike Pence.
PRAY for these important meetings. To defeat terrorism, each country needs the
other.
PRAY for the plans of a prayer team that will be going into Pakistan the beginning of next year.
