Urgent Prayer Request

Dear Dr. E.C.,

It is, indeed, a dark day in the history of Egypt. This week, we have witnessed much communication revolving around Egypt. The unrest and riots have escalated and there have been several deaths already. Our National Overseer [name withheld] is unable to communicate with us at this time due to the shutdown of the Internet and phone services. However, we have been keeping tabs through a satellite news agency out of London, and the situation in Cairo is of grave concern.

Please stand with us in prayers for our precious brothers and sisters.

Key Points of Prayer

Divine, overshadowing protection of our people

Pray that this regime of tens of thousands of Egyptians flooding the streets today and participating in the largest anti-government demonstrations since protests began this past Tuesday will come to an end.

Today, these tens of thousands appeared to come into the streets bowing to Alla, but did not remain peaceful in their demonstration. Pray for the safety of all those
trying to bring order once again.

Pray for the police and those in authority to know how to respond. Tear gas, water, and rubber bullets are presently being utilized to disperse crowds in Cairo and other cities, namely Suez and Alexandria.

Today, protesters have set fire to government buildings, a police station, the ruling party's headquarters, vehicles, and have converged on state TV offices.

There has already been a loss of several lives. Pray for these families who have been affected by these deaths.

Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak has ordered a night-time curfew in their cities, but this has reportedly been ignored according to the satellite news agency that we are logged onto. Please pray for the calming peace of the Almighty and that people would begin to respond accordingly.

Come Down From That Ivory Tower

Hebrews 11 has become known as the "Hall of Faith." The reason is quite simple. The writer spends a great deal of time giving a role call of the heroes of the faith. After all, this chapter is about faith, and what better way to teach faith than to illustrate with some real-life examples. Mos of the people in this chapter are well-known, at least by anyone who spent time squirming in a Sunday School class as a small child, or who watched the late-night movies on the local channels featuring their stories. Who were they? Abel, Enoch and Noah. Abel pleased God with his excellent offering, Enoch was so close to God that he actually walked with God to the point that one evening, while walking God said to Enoch, "we are closer to my house than we are yours, so why don't you just go home with me?" Of course, Noah built an ark (according to God's instructions) that saved mankind from total destruction. Then there was Abraham...the father of the faithful. He...

Prayer Request

Yesterday and today have been filled with non-stop preparations and meetings for the General Assembly. The State/National Overseers will be traveling to begin meeting this week in Nashville. Will you please join me in prayer for travel mercies for all of those on their way to Nashville? Also, Sister Wilma Massengale is still in Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville. This precious lady and her family need our prayer support, and I hope you will join me in prayer for them, believing the Lord is able to meet their need.
