Did you know that there are currently 26 million displaced persons in at least 52 countries as a result of conflict?
Refugee Sunday is a unique opportunity to pray and support the refugees and to raise awareness for the situation of refugees and internally displaced peoples around the world.
Refugees are the people forced to flee their country because they have been persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership of a particular social group.
In Namibia Osire is a refugee camp in central Namibia, situated 200 km north of the capital Windhoek on the main road C30 from Gobabis to Otjiwarongo. Established in 1992 the refugee population of Osire stood at 6.500 in 2010 after having reached a peak of 20.000 in 1998. The majority of the refugees came from Angola, and a size-able portion from the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Let us intercede for more than 26 million people in the world, who have no place to call home. Persecution and terror have forced these refugees and internally displaced persons to flee, leaving everything behind. Put yourself in their shoes. They have lost family members, friends, possessions and the familiar places of their homeland.
I was a stranger and you welcomed me! …Truly I tell you, just as you did it to the least of my brethren you did it to me. Matthew 25:35,40

The Namibian reports government moves closer to subsidizing water for the poor. Although thousands of water points have been set up in rural areas, many households can not afford to pay for the water.
According to statistics Namibia have more than 84 000 households regarded as poor with the highest number of poor households is in the Kavango and Ohangwena regions.Subsidizing the water could cost the taxpayer up to N$28,7 million a year. Successful implementation requires a complicated and costly system.
Let us not forget the poor in our prayers. Pray for the authorities for wisdom to take up their responsibility to also look after the poor. Pray for those who have, to share with those who are in need. Each time you open your tap, do it with a grateful heart and a prayer that we, who can fill our cups, will also share a cup of water with those who are thirsty.
I tell you the truth, anyone who gives you a cup of water in my name because you belong to Christ will certainly not lose his reward. Mark 9:41

The hazy Atlantic-coast town of Luderitz has immense appeal for its barren beauty and solitude. It's well off the beaten track; you have to really want to go here - it's a one way road to the town.Many charming and fine buildings reveal its colonial history as the first German settlement in what was then South West Africa.
Like in all towns in Namibia, there are people who love the Lord and participated in the Global Day of Prayer. Pastor Mishael Diabuna writes from Luderitz:
I greet you in the wonderful name of our Lord Jesus Christ, really I cannot be able to explain everything, it was awesome experience which I never see in my Christian life. We worked together in unity like never before and the power of God was present as we were in worship. Many people were touched by God and healing were taking place, everybody wish to pray together like that forever.
Its true the Lord is with GDOP. Please let's keep it up. God bless you richly.
Praise God for what He is doing in Luderitz and all over the country. Continue to trust God for a move of His Hand and a movement of prayer in Namibia.
