the effectual fervent prayer.....

We are feeling and seeing the impact of God's hand in the situation at Bonne Fin.   As noted in the title, the effectual fervent prayer of the righteous availeth much.   

While the situation at the hospital remains very tense, we are thankful that the road has remained open for the past 3 days.   We did have a minor incident last night and today that was not directly related to the manifestations, however, the authorities responded quickly.   We see the authorities involvement having an impact.

As an updated prayer request in addition to the previous post, we would ask for prayer for a planned meeting tomorrow (Saturday) afternoon.   This meeting has been organized by the local mayor with the community.   It is aimed at addressing one of the chief concerns, electricity.   The meeting will not involve any missionaries or official hospital representatives.  However, the outcome of the meeting will directly impact the situation as it will calm the waters and allow productive dialogue or spiral the situation back into unrest.   Please pray for the Holy Spirit's presence in this meeting and for all involved to have open hearts, minds and ears to listen to voices of reason and calm.

Thank you for battling in prayer.   We feel the truth of the scripture in Colossians 1:9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
