Last week while world leaders discussed global warming and economics at the G8 Summit, a team of intercessors met to pray for those leaders during a Prayer Summit.
Graham Wells, prayer minister for OM USA, explained the purpose of the Prayer Summit: "We believe that according to 1 Timothy 2 we are called to pray earnestly for those in authority over us, especially when the decisions made during these days affect not just peoples but nations. So, for the hours of this summit we will be praying into their agenda asking the Sovereign Lord to rule and reign in the affairs of man, executing justice, righteousness and truth."
Summit team leader Ian Cole from World Prayer Center in the UK explained that this prayer team is joined by tens of thousands of intercessors from different nations around the globe who are watching the G8 proceedings closely as well:
"Today as the kings of the earth flew into L'Aquila Italy to begin their meetings, we met to praise and lift up the name of the King of Kings! Tucked away in a corner of Italy we were able to follow via live Internet feed the proceedings and agenda of these leaders, and pray into their discussions. With a table set up in the middle of the prayer room with the flags, pictures and names of each of the leaders in the order they are seated in L'Aquila, we were able to ask God to give us the things to pray for, His heart for the disadvantaged, and to pray His will into the world economic situation and other global issues."
Please continue to join these intercessors in prayer as you pray through the news.
