PRAYER FOR PEACE IN CONGO SPECIAL APPEAL TO PRAYER

As the presidential election is due on Monday 28 November 2001, Prayer for peace in Congo is making a special appeal to the Christian community and churches in UK and around the world to join us in Prayer on this Sunday 27 November and Sunday 4 December in their respective local churches.

The presidential election in DR Congo has already featured violence and loses of life since the campaign period started, and recently a remarkable escalation of violence with the use of machete and violent rhetoric from politicians of both sides. There have been some fatalities as a result.

The DR Congo has come from violent past with 7 Millions deaths, and with an estimate of 48 rapes of women and children every hour, without counting child soldiers and orphan, the country do not need another disaster.

For this reason we are asking churches in UK and around the world to take 5 Minutes to pray for Congo during their Sunday services and ask for:

1) For a Peaceful result for the election
2) For a Responsible and good leader
3) For the end of violence and injustice
4) For good governance
5) For the healing of victim of violence
6) For the end of impunity and corruption
7) For the end to Human rights abuse in DRC.
