ALVARO’S PRAYERS FOR DAMASCUS...

May I share with you the awesome story of Alvaro - a 7 year old lad from Indonesia who was praying with us during our 30 days of prayer for the Muslim world this last Spring. He is part of our 2BC (2 Billion Children) children in prayer team. He also participates in our 24/7 online prayer room continuing now since 2021.

Alvaro was praying for breakthrough of the Gospel in the city of Damascus and the Lord answered his prayers in some astounding ways. Alvaro was joining his prayers together with 110 million people that we helped to mobilize to pray with us on the Muslim night of power during Ramadan.

Here at IPC, we partner with a ministry called RUN, (Reaching Unreached Nations), and at the same time Alvaro was praying, 200,000 teenagers aged 12-19 were trained and sent to share the good news of Jesus in cities throughout the Muslim world. This work of evangelism combined with global prayer through the IPC prayer networks resulted in 625,000 new Jesus followers - some in the city of Damascus!

In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, Howard and Lisa Ray, a North Carolina couple, experienced God’s saving power firsthand amidst unimaginable devastation. When floodwaters from the hurricane overtook their trailer, they used their couch to stay afloat as the water rose nearly thirty feet above normal levels. They drifted 400 yards on their makeshift raft, with Howard reassuring Lisa, ‘If we’re going to drown, we’re going to drown together’. Eventually, Lisa managed to pull herself up on a barbed-wire fence, sustaining cuts in the process, and they took shelter in a nearby garage. They lost everything but incredibly were soon reunited with their dog, Saddi, which had waited at the ruins of their home. Supported by donations from their church, they are pressing forward, convinced that God has a purpose in their survival. The chaplain assisting relief efforts echoed their faith, testifying to God’s guidance and strength in the worst storm damage he had ever seen.

A powerful revival movement continues to sweep across US college campuses, led by UniteUS, a group that began at Auburn University. Students gather in stadiums and auditoriums, usually filled with cheering sports fans, to celebrate salvation in Christ. This revival meets students where they are, offering hope to those burdened with guilt, shame, and life struggles. Many young adults arrive with feelings of despair, but they encounter Jesus, who brings transformative joy and purpose. 'I came in ready to end my life and left with the most joy I’ve ever had’, one student said. The impact has spread from one campus to another, with thousands of students attending each event. These gatherings provide a space for healing and openness as they pray for one another and build community. Tonya Prewitt, founder of UniteUS, believes, 'This revival is just beginning. It’s a movement.' Christian student leaders support these events, facilitating prayer, personal testimonies, and baptisms, which reignite faith and change lives.

The UK’s largest tax increase since 1993 was announced as Rachel Reeves introduced a budget aimed at revitalising healthcare, education, and infrastructure. Taxes will rise by £40 billion, with employer national insurance contributions, capital gains tax, and VAT on private school fees among the primary targets. These funds, coupled with higher borrowing, aim to close a financial gap left by previous administrations, supporting the NHS, affordable housing, and transport projects. Reeves acknowledged the 'difficult decisions' required, defending these increases as essential to 'rebuild Britain' without directly impacting individual income tax, VAT, or national insurance. Critics argue, however, that these tax hikes may still burden working people indirectly. In response to Tory criticisms, Reeves insisted that Labour’s approach will prevent austerity and 'put more pounds in people’s pockets' while providing relief measures for small businesses and the retail, hospitality, and leisure sectors.

Axel Rudakubana, 18, appeared in court facing new charges related to a deadly stabbing incident at a Taylor Swift-themed dance workshop in Southport. The charges, stemming from a home search, include producing ricin and possessing an al-Qaeda training manual. Rudakubana has already been charged with three counts of murder and ten counts of attempted murder, for the attack in July when three children were killed and others injured. The magistrate linked the new charges to his previous ones, transferring them to Liverpool Crown Court, where Rudakubana will next appear in November. Despite finding materials linked to terrorism, authorities have not classified the incident as a terrorist attack. Following the attack, false online claims regarding Rudakubana’s background triggered nationwide riots, leading to over 1,500 arrests.

Far-right activist Tommy Robinson was sentenced to 18 months in prison after breaching a court order not to repeat false allegations about Syrian refugee Jamal Hijazi. Robinson, who founded the English Defence League, was initially sued for libel in 2021 and ordered to pay £100,000 to Hijazi after his unfounded accusations severely impacted the teenager and his family, who had relocated to the UK for refuge. The court issued an injunction barring Robinson from continuing these allegations, which he breached by producing a film entitled Silenced and making further comments in interviews. Robinson admitted that this constituted contempt of court. His case has sparked protests from his supporters, who gathered in London demanding his release.

On 30 October a major fire erupted at the BAE Systems shipyard in Barrow, Cumbria, where the UK’s next-generation nuclear submarines are being constructed. Emergency services were called to the facility after the fire broke out around midnight. Local authorities assured residents there was no nuclear risk, but two people were hospitalised with suspected smoke inhalation. The shipyard, with a long history of submarine construction, has faced similar incidents in recent years, including a 2018 fire and a 2017 carbon monoxide leak. Thick smoke from the blaze, visible for miles, has raised concerns among locals, who were asked to avoid the area while emergency services worked to contain the fire.

A petition signed by nearly 60,000 UK citizens has urged Keir Starmer to safeguard the right to silent prayer after recent arrests of pro-life advocates outside abortion clinics. Alliance Defending Freedom UK (ADF UK) initiated the petition, highlighting that 'buffer zones' around clinics, initially meant to prevent demonstrations, have evolved into 'censorship zones' that criminalise silent prayer. Recently, pro-life advocate Adam Smith-Connor was convicted for praying silently within a designated buffer zone and fined nearly £10,000. ADF UK warns that censoring prayer creates a dangerous precedent for restricting thoughts deemed 'offensive’. The petition calls on Starmer to repeal the recent Public Orders Act, which will soon extend buffer zones to all clinics nationwide, punishing violations with prison time and unlimited fines. It argues that free expression, including silent prayer, is essential for a democratic society. See

On 25 October, 12,000 participants joined Dublin’s 'March for Jesus,' a faith-centred event hailed as historic for the city. The march drew Christians across denominations for a unified display of worship and community. Holding signs proclaiming 'Jesus is our King’, participants sought to bring light to the nation. One pastor commented that the march reflected a societal hunger for God beyond 'superficial' ideologies, calling it a sign of spiritual revival. Catholic bishop Alphonsus Cullinan also endorsed it, saying that it symbolised the light of Christ amidst divisive policies. Many saw the event as a healing moment, bridging historical divides between Northern Ireland and the Republic, as well as between Ireland and Great Britain. The march echoed a global movement that began in London in 1987, highlighting shared faith and hope for spiritual awakening.

At least 95 people have lost their lives in south-eastern Spain after relentless rains triggered flash floods. In one town an unprecedented year’s worth of rainfall (491 mm) occurred within just eight hours. Floodwaters wrought havoc across the region, toppling bridges, sweeping cars through streets, and leaving many people clinging to trees to survive. Over a thousand troops have been dispatched for rescue operations as numerous individuals remain trapped or unaccounted for. King Felipe VI expressed deep condolences, while emergency services, overwhelmed by the crisis, have struggled to respond to hundreds of distress calls. Questions have arisen over poor forecasting and delayed flood warnings, which some believed left them vulnerable on roads and low-lying homes: see https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwyx75ppr79 Flights, trains, and schools have been suspended. Of many contributory factors, a warming atmosphere caused by climate change makes extreme rainfall more likely. Temperatures will keep rising unless governments around the world make steep cuts to emissions: see also the World article on the UN and climate change.
