Sunday, March 8th is the Global Day of Prayer for Burma.  

Pray:

• For political prisoners.
• For a political solution to the armed conflict.
• For the pastors, who are often singled out and attacked by Burma army soldiers when they first enter a village.
• For strength, wisdom, and hope among people of all faiths who live under direct control of the military dictatorship in Burma.  Pray that they will be unified and encouraged by their efforts to serve one another through love and perseverance.
• For all of the parents who have lost their children due to the Burma army attacks.
• For the children who suffer the most in the conflict.
• For a change in the hearts of the Burma army soldiers and leaders.
• For a political solution to the armed conflict.
• For those in the areas still devastated by Cyclone Nargis.

Some of our friends from the Karen choir at the Karen church in Kent will be participating in the service at Quest on Sunday.  Below is a translation of the song they will be singing.  Please join them, and us, in praying for Burma.

My prayer

 Alone, I cannot walk the path without you Lord.

All is barren without your presence.

All life comes from you.

Strength comes from you.

Rest my heart

May I rest in you.

Let me know just one thing.

For all in heaven and earth

And my heart is yours.

Let me believe in just one thing

That you will never leave me

And where ever you place me, there you be.
