Praying for Rwanda: Blessing (DAY 12)

Posted on 13. Aug, 2010 by Africa New Life in BLOG

In the wake of great tragedy, God has blessed Rwanda and its people.  He has done amazing things!

Today we thank the Lord for the redemptive power of Jesus’ name.  Thousands of Rwandans have come to know the True God.  We thank God for the education that thousands of children now receive.  We thank God for Rwanda’s growing economy.  We thank God for the thousands of people around the world who have helped and prayed for Rwanda and its people.  And we pray for God to continually pour out His blessings, His love on Rwanda.

Blessed are all who fear the LORD, who walk in his ways.  You will eat the fruit of your labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours.  Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your sons will be like olive shoots around your table.  Thus is the man blessed who fears the LORD. May the LORD bless you from Zion all the days of your life; may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem, and may you live to see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel. Psalm 128

Thank you for devoting the last 12 days to praying for Rwanda!  Please continue to pray for the country, its leaders, Africa New Life, your sponsored child and his or her family…
