the veil is taken away. For the L0rd is the Sp!r!t, and wherever the
L0rd is, there is freedom.”
2 Corinthians 3:16-17
Greetings everyone!!
This weekend, yesterday in particular, is the day that 52 years ago
M@li gained her freedom and became a nation on her own. The day is
always celebrated with great joy–parades, parties, and special events.
Yesterday, for the first time ever, the people of M@li did not celebrate
her freedom. With only a small, heavily guarded ceremony, the
transitional President of M@li placed a bouquet of flowers at the
monument that stands to commemorate M@li’s Independence. He did this in
the presence of only the members of the government and the foreign
ambassadors.
As I sat with our friends on the street, one man with sadness in his
voice said, “Mali is broken…really, really broken.” His words are
true in so many ways. Since our conversation, my heart has been broken
again for M@li. I see the movement of G0d in so many hearts and minds, I
am experiencing the work of the H0ly Sp!r!t in the lives of those we
spend time with daily, yet the enemy is truly waging war to destroy a
country and a people. The eyes of so many are veiled–almost a whole
nation. The enemy is trying to prevent the Sp!r!t of the L0rd by
imposing on people a law that only bring fear and death. M@li and her
people are a peace loving, peace seeking people, yet the possibilities
of war grow with each day.
Please join me in daily calling out to our Father to pour out HIS
SP!R!T throughout M@li–to reveal Himself, His Truth, His Grace, His
Mercy, His Salvation through J.s.s Chr!st, His FREEDOM! Since my
conversation with S yesterday the scr!pture that continues to come to my
mind is the one written above…” But whenever someone turns to the
L0rd, the veil is taken away. For the L0rd is the Sp!r!t, and wherever
the L0rd is, there is freedom.” Will you please pr@y for the Sp!r!t of
the L0rd to move freely in this land, removing the veil from people’s
eyes so they may see and know The Way, The Truth, and The Life–J.s.s?
Please pr@y for the leaders of M@li as they seek to restore M@li and
bring oneness to the people and the nation.
Thank you for your partnership and your f@ithfulness to pr@y alongside us for this people and this nation…
