Praying for World Situations
- The Libyan City of Derna was hit by a cyclone last week. Thousands of lives (11,300) have been lost, some are missing, infrastructure has been destroyed. There is grief and anger among the survivors. Pray that they will experience comfort from the Lord. Pray that in the midst of this grief they will find the Lord.
- Two cargo ships have arrived at a Ukrainian port after travelling through the Black Sea using a new route. They are due to load 20,000 tonnes of wheat bound for world markets.

Thank God for the development and pray that what the Lord has begun will be brought to completion.
