Prayer Reminders Birthdays: 11: James Hunt Mission: News from International Ministries: Earthquake Hits Nepal
 A massive earthquake with an estimated magnitude of 7.9 shook Nepal on Saturday, April 25, 2015 near its capital, Katmandu, according to the New York Times. People in the capital described scenes of panic and collapsed buildings, and the United States Geological Survey predicted severe damage to villages near the quake's epicenter, about 50 miles from Katmandu..." "The death toll in Nepal after a massive earthquake stands at 597, according to Laxmi Dhakal, a spokesperson for Nepal's Ministry of Home Affairs, to CNN. There have been at least 15 aftershocks of 4.5 magnitude and higher in Nepal since a massive 7.8 earthquake struck the mountainous Asian nation around midday Saturday, according to the U.S. Geological..." American Baptist International Ministries (IM) Area Director, the Rev. Dr. Benjamin Chan, is contacting leaders of IM partner organizations who are based in Katmandu. "We are conveying condolences to the earthquake victims and prayer for peace and strength to them and their country on behalf of American Baptist sisters and brothers," stated Chan. "Mr. Thapa replied that he is attending the worship service, and 'so far we all are fine.'" IM development worker Taku Longkumer is attending the Annual Meetings of the Council of Baptist Churches in North East India in Tura, Meghalaya which is about 340 miles from Katmandu. Taku shared, "We were shaken during this morning's massive earthquake in Nepal. No problems here, but we need to pray for  those impacted."

 continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it,

The National Day of Prayer website has been publishing prayers from leaders from around the world. Here is one: A Prayer for America by Ravi Zacharias Holy Father, In a world where so many are hungry, You have given us food in abundance; In a world where so many are hurting, You offer to bind up our wounds; In a world where so many are lonely, You offer friendship to every heart; In a world longing for peace, You offer hope. Yet, we are so stubborn and resistant. Have mercy upon us, Lord. Our nation is at a crossroads; we look to you to be our strength and shield. Please give us guidance and may we honor you and respond to the wisdom from above so that our hope may be renewed and our blessings be treasured. In Jesus’ holy name. Amen
