This Week: July 20-26

WEEKLY PRAYER POINTS:

LOCAL: This is the last week of Freedom School! Please pray that the students would maintain and increase the knowledge they have gained over the past 5 weeks, and for God to reveal Himself to these kids as they continue to grow in an understanding of the world that He has created. Ask God to strengthen the teachers to persevere and finish well.

GLOBAL: A new president, who is not supported by Nepal’s former Maoist rebels, has just been elected in Nepal. And now, the Maoists, which make up 1/3 of the government, are threatening to withdraw from the formation of the new Nepali government. This could cause political instability for Nepal. Ask God to stabilize the Nepali government so that the people of Nepal would experience peace and stability. Pray for peace and unity among the opposing parties within the Nepali government.
