“Rescue me, O LORD, from evil men; protect me from men of violence,”  Psa 140:1

 Let’s pray about world peace and the central role Pakistan plays. Eastern side - WAR BETWEEN INDIA AND PAKISTAN - Both countries have fought two wars over Kashmir that involves the rights of who controls the water of the five rivers that flow into Pakistan.

Shortly after Pakistan was created the U.N. and the World Bank established the “Indus Treaty.” The rivers first flow through India and then into Pakistan.  India was to get the water from two of the rivers. They are now taking water from all five of the rivers.

Without water the people perish.  The prime ministers in each country have brought this up in recent weeks again and again.  The Indian P.M. has said  several times that he does not care about the Indus Treaty - India will take  all of the water.  Some have referred to the “Zero Line” (where the Indus  River passes through Kashmir) as the biggest potential for World War III.  Both  countries have threatened to go to war using their nuclear weapons; this would  draw in many other countries. Even more alarming is the fact that China is diverting water from the Tibetan plateau for their own use.  Almost half of the  world’s population depends on the water from this plateau.

PRAY   For the resolution over the water problems of these two countries.

PRAY for peace between these two countries.

Western side - TERRORIST WAR - AFGHANISTAN AND PAKISTAN - Terrorism will not be stopped until there is peace between these two countries. Along the border these people are relatives and move back and forth between these two counties with ease.  When NATO was in Afghanistan the terrorists moved and operated out of Pakistan.  When NATO left Afghanistan, Pakistan’s new military commander in chief did a superb job of cleaning out the terrorists on the Pakistani side of the border.  But the majority of the terrorists moved to Afghanistan. Until both governments work together it will be difficult to resolve this.

PRAY both countries will work together to resolve the terrorist issue and bring peace, that affects both countries and the world.

PRAY Pakistan’s new military commander-in-chief will continue to bring down the terrorists.

VISAS – There are still problems for missionaries getting visas.  It seems to be every mission is having trouble throughout the country no matter what kind of work they are doing.  Some have been promised visas even by the prime minister, and then this promise has been broken.  

PRAY for God to intervene and visas to be granted

PRAY for those in this department that are blocking this.
