United Before God’s Throne: ACCTS and AMCF Day of Prayer 15 September, 2012

Please join AMCF and ACCTS-related military and civilian Christians around the world on 15 September as we pray for the needs of military Christian ministry. We also invite you to pray the following prayer, which was adopted by AMCF in 1930: “Heavenly Father, we thank you that the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses from all sin. Bless the service men and women of all nations, and grant that we who know the joy of being ‘all one in Christ Jesus’ may be filled with your love and pass it on to others through the power of the Holy Spirit until His coming again.”

Prayer and praise items: AMCF Presidency: In September General Lee, Pil Sup of South Korea will hand over the AMCF presidency to General Srilal Weerasooriya of Sri Lanka. General Weerasooriya had a 37 year military career and was appointed the commander of the Sri Lanka army in 1998. He retired in August 2000 as a four-star general. He was appointed AMCF vice president for South Asia in 1997 and currently serves as an elder and lay pastor in his church. His wife Dilhani has ministered by his side. The AMCF presidency is a volunteer position, and we praise God for the inspired leadership given to AMCF by General Lee during his tenure and ask for your prayers for General Weerasooriya as he seeks God’s will in leading this association of indigenous fellowships. AMCF Vice President with God: Please pray for the family of Brig. General Samir Haddadin of Jordan, who was AMCF’s vice president for the Middle East, as they adjust to life after General Haddadin’s death in July. Please pray especially for his wife, Alia. MCFs: Please pray for the approximately 50 nations around the world that do not have a military Christian fellowship. Many of these nations are difficult-access countries where forming a Christian fellowship group is difficult.

General Lee, Pil Sup of South Korea will officially hand over the AMCF presidency to General Srilal Weerasooriya of Sri Lanka in September. Please give thanks with us for General Lee’s unselfish service to God through AMCF and pray for wisdom for General Weerasooriya as he assumes the mantle of leadership.
