what IF we pray?

We met for the 2nd time to pray for Sri Lanka at the Peace Mennonite Church in Richmond, BC. We started on time with an attendance of about 30 people. This was very good as we had to compete with the eager cricketers glued to their televisions watch Sri Lanka play at the finals of the World Cup series.

The evening was based on Psalms 127:1 "Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stands guard in vain" These scriptures were read in English by Ryan Cadamia, in Sinhala by Lilani Gunawardena & in Tami by Theeparajah. We had singer & song writer Ryan Cadamia lead the singing. while Mike Woodard, National Director of Campus Ministries ( A ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ, Canada) who reminded us to breath spiritually & taught us what it means to depend on God. It was very timely as some of had lost hope in the restoration of this once beautiful island called Sri Lanka.

Most of the time was spent in praying for those who influence the island of Sri Lanka, that God would come against the work of the devil & bring victory to each province, for unity among the followers of Christ, for those preaching of the Gospel, against the Anti Conversion Law & finally praising God for His greatness.

The evening ended in Sri Lankan style socializing with finger food & coffee
