Mubarak steps down #Egypt #Jan25
Vice-President Suleiman: “In the name of God the merciful, the compassionate, citizens, during these very difficult circumstances Egypt is going through, President Hosni Mubarak has decided to step down from the office of president of the republic and has charged the high council of the armed forces to administer the affairs of the country. May God help everybody.”
It is very important to continue to pray God’s will for leadership for #Egypt #Jan25
We certainly need to pray for positive impact on the region and the wider world as a result of this change in Egypt.

Special Parliament Meeting Called
Today more than 26 member of the Kuwaiti Parliament signed a request to hold a special meeting on the 10th of September to study the labors laws and problems.

We call all intercessors to pray and ask the Lord to move the hearts and find the rest of the 33 Kuwaiti Parliament members to approve holding the meeting.
Pray of course that this will lead to Godly solutions that will glorify His Name at this nation and rid this land of the sponsorship laws.
