We would ask, Lord, for favor from other nations who have benefited from the sacrifice of American blood and treasure.
But the Lord sits enthroned forever; He has established His throne for justice, and He judges the world with righteousness; He judges the peoples with uprightness. Psalm 9:7-8
“We are firmly convinced, and we act on that conviction, that with nations as with individuals our interests soundly calculated will ever be found inseparable from our moral duties” President Thomas Jefferson Second Inaugural Address March 4, 1805
Operation World Pray for Bahrain : Bahrain enjoys greater freedoms than almost all Gulf countries, and therefore is spiritually strategic. Praise God for the local believers! Some worship with the various established churches, and others gather in more informal networks. Pray especially for unity and cooperation among these groups, as a testimony to their fellow Arabs. Many Saudis and Kuwaitis visit to enjoy the more relaxed environment. Pray for them to meet Christians, and to encounter the gospel.
Operation World Pray for The Bahamas : Materialism, stimulated mostly by tourism, deeply affects all levels of society. Lowering standards of morality see a rise in births out of wedlock, drug use and violent crime (especially armed robbery). The staggering wealth of foreign residents and tax shelters display a different world from the average Bahamian, not to mention the even poorer Haitian immigrants. Pray for social righteousness and a government that works to serve all strata of society.
