Two crucial, timely prayer seminars to build up the Iraqi prayer movement will be held in the next several days, first in Erbil in Kurdistan and then in Baghdad. "The need for prayer there with the Iraqis and teaching is urgent", says the facilitator, a dear friend and prayer initiative colleague named Sam. "They  wrote  that  relief - support  is  plenty  but  no  one  to  lead  and call  for  prayer  among  the  locals." Erbil, 4th  -  9th

1. Please  pray  that  many  sincere  believers  &  leaders  would  come  for  the prayer - days  and  unite  with  one  heart  for  the  nation  of  Iraq.
2. For a  strong  interest  in  the  prayer -  meetings  &  in  the seminar!
3. For a  strong  presence  of  His  Holy  Spirit  to  lead  us  into intense  times  of  prayer,  repentance,  grieving,  weeping  &  wrestling!
4. For HIS  heart  for  the  nation!
5. For revelation  &  guidance  of  the  Holy  Spirit  to  know  how to  pray.
6. For  strong  protection  over  the  participants  and Sam and his family.

Baghdad, 11th - 15th

1. Please  pray  for  a  huge  participation  of  believers  &  leaders and that  the  Lord may  keep  the  roads  open  for  people  to  travel  to  the  venue.
2. For unity  and  God's  heart  for  the  city  &  nation!
3. We  need  a  strong  presence  of  HIS  spirit  &  a  flow  in  prayer and real  brokenness  among  the  believers  &  leaders  to  really  cry out  for  their  nation,  to  repent,  grieve,  weep  and  wrestle  for  Iraq.
4. Pray for  a  strong  prophetic  anointing,  revelation  and  God's  strategy in  the  meetings.
5. For a  strong  protection  over the  believers  in  Baghdad!

Pray also for Sam to have God's wisdom, guidance and anointing and that he will enjoy special favor and protection in this current core trouble spot of the world.
