Australia ablaze

In the face of “catastrophic” fires, a call to repentance has gone out to prayer groups in Australia, New Zealand and the US.

Judy Russell of Sydney emailed: “Pray that the Lord would protect life, both human and animal, that no further properties will be lost, that looters would be unsuccessful in their evil intent.

“May Australia bend her knee to the Lord to whom we give all the honour and all the glory.”
