INTERNATIONALFocus on international safety & security: Somali piratesGood information on the inner workings of the piracy trade is hard to come by, but evidence from out of Somalia indicates that criminal syndicates with financiers and investors based in Dubai and London and Mombasa, Kenya, have taken over piracy in Somalia. It got started in the early 1990s as a way to mete out retribution on ships that fished illegally or dumped toxic waste in Somali waters. The people being arrested are actually 'foot soldiers'. Website: http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1976993,00.html?xid=newsletter Please pray about this situation, that the leaders of syndicates will be convicted and arrested. Also pray about money swindling, that people will hear and yield to God's voice in their hearts. Pray for the salvation of all involved in syndicates, piracy and for those 'foot soldiers'. Pray that all unholy contracts will be revealed and that influence and protection from all governments that want to benefit from this, will come be disclosed.
SOUTH AFRICA - PRAYER POINTERSFocus on youth: Use of date-rape drug risesFocus on youth: Use of date-rape drug rises Date-rape drugs and abuse of prescription medicine are on the rise, according to the International Narcotics Control Board (INCB), especially through illegal Internet pharmacies. Date-rape drugs (rendering victims unconscious or provoking memory loss, in this way facilitating rape) are increasingly easy to obtain. Website: http://health.iafrica.com/healthnews/2254941.htm Please continue to pray for young girls to be sensitive to the voice of the Holy Spirit, to be on the watch and not fall prey to these perpetrators. Also ask for parents to watch over their children with greater care when dropping them off at friends or shopping centres.
