Prayer Plea For Pakistan

Majors Geoff and Kalie Webb ~ Australian officers serving in Pakistan with their daughter, Khelsi ~ raise several urgent prayer points for our attention.

  • Please pray for Pakistan. Some newspaper analysts in the country are predicting civil war; pray for calm in the country.
  • Please pray for the many people mourning Benazir’s death.
  • Please pray for leadership within the country – of all political parties – to show statesman-like behaviour and call for calm and a measure of unity.
  • Please pray for our Salvationists, who have had to deal with the death of our Army leader Bo Brekke on 27th September, and now with the death of one of our political leaders Benazir Bhutto on 27th December.
  • Please also pray for our Chief Secretary, Lieut-Colonel Yousaf Ghulam, and his wife, Lieut-Colonel Rebecca Yousaf, who – as well as trying to lead our territory until our new territorial leaders arrive – are also faced with a major illness of their adult daughter Shahzia – married only in the last twelve months and now very ill in hospital.

Your faithfulness in prayer on behalf of the Webbs and the people of Pakistan is greatly valued.
