Last night we received an email asking for urgent prayer for the Karen in Burma. Please pray...
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Greeting you in the name of Christ from
the border. On behalf of our Karen Leaders, may I now
call upon you to bind your heart with us to pray.
In brief, now, our Karen National Union
(KNU) and the Burmese Government have set the New Dates for Third Round
Negotiations Meeting on 3rd - 4th September 2012. And this time they will focus
on the guarantee of safety for civilian and the building of trust progressively
at every level of negotiations. Specifically, the relocation of Burma Army troops away from Karen State, and a proposed Code of Conduct.
The KNU General Secretary, Naw Zipporah Sein, will again lead the
group. She strongly believes
in God and trust God that, 'if God is
with me and the group, He will provide what we need, for we are representing
the Karen civilians'.
My dear Brothers and Sisters, she is the
first lady among our Karen People that held this post and in the midst of
hardship, difficulties and strong pressure she led the KNU for 4 years with strong
and faithful heart to God and His people.
- Protection in travelling for the Karen delegation.
- Pray that God’s spirit will remain in their hearts, their thoughts and their talks so that the hearts that are hard like stone will become softer and God's power will be with them.
- For Naw Zipporah as she leads the group - God will give her power, strength, knowledge and wisdom so that whatever she does will be filled with God's power, grace and favour.
‘For how can I endure to see the evil that
will come to my people? Or how can I endure to see the destruction of my
Countrymen?’ Esther 8:6
May God Bless you all in His Holy
Service!
