I feel a little added responsibility as I lead our church through the Harvest Cry series. I'm hoping to lend my voice to people all over the world who may not have a voice of their own. I'm preaching with them in mind...people we might be able to touch as we recommit ourselves to the mission of God.
To keep my ear in tune, I'm praying through a small prayer guide produced by YWAM that contains "30 Days of Prayer for the Voiceless."
Yesterday in my message I read Prema's story, an eleven year old girl who was sold by her family into child prostitution. Today was day 2 in the prayer guide. I read the story of Zorah, a sixteen year old girl in Mozambique who was infected with AIDS after her new husband married her believing that if he slept with a virgin he'd be cured of the disease.
The story ended with three prayer points:
- That God would intervene against this epidemic
- That He would raise up medical researchers and doctors to discover solutions to HIV
- That God would release Bible teachers to confront the causes of AIDS to see personal and social transformation
These are voices from the harvest. Can you hear them?
I read that. It's heartbreaking.
