Kan and Maiah care for children whose parents’ Christian ministry puts them at risk.
JANUARY 2020 Heavenly Father, Thank You, Lord, that You are my hiding place. Lord, please be close to my Christian brothers and sisters who are on the run or in hiding, and those who have been driven far from home. Remind them that You are their Father and that they have ‘an eternal house in heaven’ (2 Corinthians 5:1). Please lead them to a place of safety and restore to them all that they have lost. In Jesus’ name. Amen
MYANMAR
WEDNESDAY 1: At the start of a new year, let’s pray that God will remind His persecuted people in Myanmar – and worldwide – that He has a plan and purpose for them. Thank Him that He keeps all His promises (2 Corinthians 2:20).
THURSDAY 2: In some areas of Myanmar, rebel groups reportedly expect Christians to surrender their sons and daughters to become child soldiers as a ‘penalty’ for following Jesus. Ask God to protect all children from being recruited. FRIDAY 3: Ask God to bless Kan and his wife, Maiah, (pictured) who care for the children of Christian workers
so that their parents can continue their ministries without worrying about their children’s safety.
SATURDAY 4: Pray that those who have had to flee their homes in Myanmar will be powerful witnesses to God’s faithfulness wherever they go. SUNDAY 5: Pray for Pastor U Maung, who was among 58 people abducted by militia in Rakhine state in October. Christians fear for his safety as the Arakan Army who kidnapped him are notorious for targeting religious minorities.
