^   PRAYER FOCUS: THAILAND

In Bangkok, the anti-government protesters known as the ‘red-shirts’ continue to demand the resignation of the Prime Minister, the dissolution of parliament and fresh elections to be held.

Please continue to pray for Thailand and its people at this time of tension and disquiet throughout the nation.

· Pray for calm and the restoration of peace with justice and equity for all.

· Pray particularly for the Church in Thailand, that it may have a clear understanding of its God-given place in society, having the courage to speak prophetically into the current situation and seeking to find ways to help bring about a lasting peace to a deeply divided and fearful nation.

· Give thanks for a recent gathering in Bangkok of over 700 Christians from various churches and denominations who came together to pray for peace and order to be restored to the streets, and for a solution (acceptable to all) to be found to the current political turmoil.
