Children's Cup 40 days of prayer

Because of all the events in my life I have not done a very good job of highlighting Children's Cup 40 Days of Prayer.


This was a post a couple of days ago that really expresses some of the horrible issues facing the people in Africa Children's Cup is trying to reach.


When you sit at a street corner or look into any crowd of people in Swaziland and think that almost half of the people you’re looking at are HIV positive, it makes you wonder. How does an economy survive losing so many workers? How many funerals happen every day? How does a society deal with such a culture of death and the prevalence of AIDS-related illnesses? Add to that a spiritual darkness that is all too real.


Pray that God will use Children’s Cup and other groups of His people to make a real and true impact on the key influencers in Swaziland and begin a revival that touches every person in this nation.


Today, David Meyer, Director of World Missions for Joyce Meyer Ministries - a long-time integral support for Children’s Cup, is leading us in prayer.


David Meyer

Lord, I thank You for the good work that You have begun in Swaziland through Children’s Cup. We stand amazed as we watch Your faithful servants daily carry out Your plans. You are bringing them closer to completion…but there is still much to be done.

Raise up the leaders in this land. Give them energy, dreams, and hope for the future. Lord, I pray specifically that Your people would make a true impact on the key influencers in Swaziland, so they would become country changers and history makers.

Through the blood of Jesus, I ask You to break the curses of poverty and HIV/AIDS that have oppressed this nation. Bring supernatural healing and prosperity to the people as they turn from darkness to Your light.

I pray for supernatural strength, a passion to reach the lost, and divine wisdom for Your servants dedicated to bringing hope and healing. Thank You for granting them favor with all men and for Your hedge of protection that surrounds them as they faithfully obey Your voice. Continue to open doors of opportunity beyond human ability for Your glory and honor, and bring revival to every soul. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
