THAILAND, SOUTHEAST ASIA

A state of emergency continues in Thailand in the aftermath of violent clashes between Red Shirts (supporters of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra) and government troops in May 2010. The government has also issued arrest warrants for five Red Shirt leaders on charges of terrorism.

Pray for the Lord to bring peace to this very volatile situation.

Ask Him to intervene, drawing leaders from both sides of the political conflict into relationship with Jesus Christ.

Pray for the people of this mostly Buddhist nation to have the opportunity to hear and respond to the Gospel.

Pray for the Kingdom of God to come during this time of instability, bringing righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
