Mobilizing Prayer for Elections

On Tuesday, March 31 2009, for the first time in Namibian history, church leaders from Protestant, Charismatic and Pentecostal churches came together to make a historic national call for a peaceful election process. Full text of the declaration available at http://www.kas.de/wf/doc/kas_16071-544-2-30.pdf or by e-mailed on request. (pray4namibia@gmail.com)

The declaration encourages all churches to take up the very important role of intercession through mobilizing individual and corporate prayers all over the nation for peaceful elections. A working group to mobilize prayer, with chairperson Pastor Roy Wallace, has been established to encourage churches and believers in all 13 regions in Namibia to pray for the November elections. Visit this blog for updates. Please pray now for -

• Fair, free and honest elections.
• Wisdom as the Steering committee continue to implement the declaration
• Finances for printing of the Declaration in all languages.
• Distribution of the declarations to all churches in Namibia.
• That church leaders will apply the Declaration.
• The Electoral commission as they prepare for the November elections.
• Voter education and high voter participation.
• Unity among believers in spite of political party differences.
• Proper communication with all role players and voters.
• Peace and stability in the time leading up to the elections, during and also after the elections.

I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone -for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 1 Tim 2:1-2
