This is a horrible story and shows so much the injustice in this Islamic country. That needs to be brought out into the public!
Recently they executed a lady from Sri Lanka and cut her head off as they accused her of having killed a baby. But this religious Saudi man gets away…
“The man (who raped and killed the girl), said to be a religious scholar who is also a regular guest on Islamic television networks, confessed to having used cables and a cane to inflict the injuries, activists from the group Women to Drive said in a statement on Saturday.
…Randa al-Kaleeb, a social worker from the hospital where Lama was admitted, said the girl’s back was broken and that she had been raped ‘everywhere’, according to the group.”
Pray for justice and the light of Christ to shine in this benighted nation.

As Christians will know, on the 8th of November 2012, our government promulgated Decree 92/2012/ND-CP, a decree detailing how to implement the Ordinance on Religion and Belief of 2004. The decree was signed by Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung and became effective on January 1, 2013.
Dear fellow Christians – the implementation of this decree will cause many inconveniences and hardships for church activities, and at the same time render illegal all house churches which already came into being 25 years ago, The articles in the decree also provide local officials with legal means by which they can hinder the worship of God and other activities in local congregations.
1. Ask that the Almighty God would continue to protect and vindicate the Church (Acts 5:38, 39)
2. Ask that God would protect believers in all local areas and that they would faithfully gather to worship the Lord and stand firm in all circumstances (Acts 5:41, 42)
3. Ask that God would grant leaders of our Vietnamese nation to recognize the many benefits that the churches contribute to society (1 Timothy 2:1, 2)
4. Ask God to raise up a devout generation and to visit his church so that we would fulfill our calling of being the “salt of the earth” and “the light of the world”. (Matthew 5:13, 14)

A short video clip concerning the upcoming election and the campaign that is happening now. Please pray for an honest election and for just leadership for this nation of SE Asia that will eliminate corruption and uphold the religious and political freedom of all Malaysia’s peoples.
The United Nations estimates some 20 million slaves, mostly women and children, are being trafficked to work in bondage, many in the sex trade—more than half of them in Asia. In a two-part series, The Pearl report went to mainland China and South East Asia to investigate this human trade: ex-perpetrators, policy-makers, victims and those trying to help them.

Pray that governments and the international community as a whole will get very tough with the criminals that traffick with human beings. Pray for these unfortunate women and children to be found and set free.
China is reportedly planning the development of a nuclear missile system that can hide in underground tunnels and be transported by train, making it harder for the West to monitor. The news of the rail-based missile system comes after China made major strides in the development of its nuclear program last year and raises serious questions about its so-called “no first use” pledge for its nuclear weapons.

Iran continues to strenuously deny it wants nuclear weapons or is actively pursuing them. Yet the evidence continues to say the exact opposite. Now there are new and credible reports that Iran is working closely with North Korea to join develop The Bomb, and that the recent North Korean nuclear weapons test was done in close coordination with Iran, even with Iranian nuclear officials present to observe the test.
“Iran’s leading nuclear scientist, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh Mahabadi, is believed to have travelled to North Korea to observe its third nuclear test last week, according to western intelligence sources,” reports the Sunday Times of London.

Please pray for the cutting off of the relationship between these two crazy and unstable regimes, along with the sharing of nuclear know-how that could jeopardize our world.
The old ways continue to manifest themselves as pressure mounts for people to contribute to the nation's needs including a New Year's day proclamation about required contributions of manure and scrap metal. There has also been an increase in checkpoints which is just another way to put money in the pockets of officials. It is also fairly widely known that North Korea has been using illicit production of methamphetamines for sale abroad as a major source of foreign currency. This has been backfiring as an increasing number of North Koreans have been taking the drug. The number of addicts continues to increase as well as sellers even as arrests increase. There are also signs that labor camps are being expanded in the North.
