I would like to ask if prayer could be mobilised for Armenia through the Intercessors of IPC.   I have just returned from Armenia where we saw the nation potentially on the cusp of transformation. We had pastors joining in unity and forgiving the Turks for the atrocities they committed through the Genocide in 1915 when over 1 million Armenians were killed and also for the Azeris who are still at war with Armenia over Nagorno Kharabagh Republic. This was the email I put out as a result of our 10 day mission: "So much happened in Armenia whilst we were there and here are a few snippets of  God's awesome work.  It is  difficult to tell the stories because God's power was  so GREAT but we believe He had a huge impact on individual  lives and most importantly on the nation. Indeed, it was not much about His power but His presence. Then the Lord said: "I am making a covenant with you. Before all your people I will  do wonders never before done in any nation in all the world. The people you love among will see how awesome is the work  that I, the Lord, will do for  you." Exodus 34:10   Pray for the pastors to have wisdom and  discernment on how to move forward in this nation. Pray for  us in Flame International to know how to move forward with  the Armenians to facilitate a "new thing" in  that nation." WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF RETURNING WE THEN RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING FROM A PASTOR IN ARMENIA: "Dear friends, It is with much anguish of heart that I write to you to bring to your awareness the situation we are facing in Armenia as a nation at this time. As you may have heard in the news, on September 3, 2013, our president signed an agreement with Russia which has left the nation in shock ever since... However, this agreement literally puts Armenia under obligation to Russia and to follow its dictates on its every move.  In other words, our government believes that we as a nation cannot survive on our own and cannot be independent and that we are to be ruled by Russia.  Some say this is the end of our 22 years attempt at sovereignty and that we are going back to a Soviet Union type of scenario rather than going forward.    If you follow the news, you are aware that Russia's Putin is putting pressure on former Soviet Union countries to sign this Customs Union agreement...Political analysts suggest that Armenia has completely lost its place in the international scene and can no longer defend its rights and its interests in the resolution of the Kharabagh conflict with Azerbaijan and the recognition of the Armenian Genocide by the Turkish government. We add to all this the psychological state of the people of Armenia.  Most have given up and want to leave the country in any avenue possible.  The statistics show that each year more than 100,000 people are leaving the country for good.  The government keeps changing and playing with laws to further its interests and ignoring the protests of the people and putting political activists in jail with false accusations.  There are added taxes almost every other day and the people are barely surviving while the government oligarchs are expanding their businesses and taking over small and medium businesses. The people have lost hope and have become very passive.  They just want to leave.  But what about the Christians?  What are they doing?  This is the reason why I am writing. We have seen that many Christians are talking and behaving like everyone else who have no hope.  They also want to leave.  Calls for prayer are made by some, but not responded to in the numbers, unity and with the perseverance that is needed to bring about transformation in our nation.  The passivity of the Christians is our greatest concern and anguish.  It is more disturbing than the actual circumstances we face.  Instead of coming together in unity and seeking the Lord's face, we see Christians busy with "business as usual" and Christian leaders pitted against each other, building their own little kingdoms behind church walls.      We as Christians have the most powerful weapon against the enemy and we are not using it.  We are called to prayer and we preach that prayer changes things in nations.  But where are the praying Christians who are praying strategically into these events that are taking place right under our noses?  Why are we not aware that the enemy through Putin plans to take over our land again?  Why are we not standing against the spiritual forces that are behind these political figures and events and why are we not doing anything?  Jesus asked the question as to whether He will find faith in the earth when He returns (Luke 18:8).  This is the question that keeps coming to mind in this situation as well.  Where is our faith to stand against the plans to destroy this nation and God's purposes for our people?  Where is the revival we are seeking?    Please join with us to pray for our nation.  You are welcome to share this with your friends who believe in prayer.  Let's raise a unified voice to change the course of history toward God's purposes and will for this region." · Please pray for the people of Armenia to stay close to the Lord. · Pray for Armenian Apostolic Church to accept other protestant denominations and for them to be in unity. · Pray for unity and obedience to the word of God for all Armenians · Pray for revival so the Holy Spirit will inflame the faded fire of the faith · For the God given mission of the Armenians, so that the Armenians will walk in faith of their ancestors by being torch bearers of Christianity in the East.   Jane Ransom, Director, Flame International Work for healing, forgiveness and reconciliation.
