Pray for the Elections

Namibia will go to the polling stations in November. Church leaders signed a declaration to support the election process and organize a Day of Prayer on the 1st November.

On Thursday, 18th June 2009 third consultative Conference on the Church Leaders’ Declaration on Elections in Namibia will meet in Windhoek to deliberate on the way forward.

This Conference will serve to engage participants in the appointment of the four Working Committees for the process to be successfully implemented:

• Prayer & Intercession
• Voter Education
• Election Monitoring & Observation and
  
• Media/Public Relations
  

Here is the dream of the organizers: "Let us stand united in our witness for a just society, ensuring that the members of the Body of Christ engage in the process of elections in our nation in such a way that Jesus Christ will be glorified as the Lord of all by displaying unity and love among us."

Please earnestly pray for the consultation and that this dream will be realized.

God saw it was good

And God said, "Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky. So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind.
And God saw that it was good.
God blessed them and said, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth". Genesis 1:20 - 22

This past week-end we visited a friend's place called "Shalom" on the Oanob Dam near Rehoboth. Indeed it is a place of peace. These pair of ducks made me aware of God's creation and how He has blessed Namibia with unsurpassed beauty.

Praise God for our beautiful country, for the mountains and the desert, for the wildlife and the birds of the sky, for the plants and magical sunsets in the evening, for special people, lonely places and tourist attractions unique to Namibia. Pray that we will look well after them and manage them it such a way that God will get the glory. Pray that people will flock to Namibia to see our beauty, and to find the Creator of them all!

For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities - his eternal power and divine nature - have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. Romans 1:20
