Isaiah 61:1-11
Let us pray this scripture over the Democratic Republic of Congo. The Lord has seen all the pain, suffering and injustice. He has heard the cry of His children for help. Let us proclaim that the mourning of the Congolese people will be turned into praise, for they will see the hand of the Lord at work, through the disciples he has send to bring the good news to the Democratic Repbulic of Congo. Let us proclaim that God Himself will rebuild ruins and cities that have been destroyed long ago. Let us proclaim that the nation of Congo would rise to be a nation under God and that He will end the injustice and bring salvation, restoration and healing. Lets proclaim a double portion of prosperity and everlasting joy. We believe God wants to restore beauty and dignity in this nation!

Father in Heaven, comfort those whose families are torn apart and who have lost their loved ones. Give protection in times when homes and dreams are destroyed and people have to flee. Give peace and hope to those who have to run for their lives and those that have to endure injustice and abuse. Give them strength to live and not to give up. Open our hearts for the needs of your loved ones and show us how we can help and get involved in establishing your Kingdom in the DRC.! ! AMEN
