Burma


International Red Cross says revised death toll of nearly 22,500 makes Cyclone Nargis deadliest storm since 1991. U.S. Navy is prepared to move assets to help find those who have lost their lives, to help find the missing, and to help stabilize the situation. In order to do so, the military junta must allow our disaster assessment teams into the country. The U.S. State Department has been told that an American assessment team will not be allowed inside Burma. The White House says that U.S. aid is not conditional on that assessment team and the United States will continue to help through the United Nations if the team is blocked. Pray for the country of Burma as they recover from the devastation of cyclone Nargis. Pray for the relief workers there to have physical and emotional strength as they help those in need.

Abortion

A current and a former state legislator will head up the effort for pro-abortion forces against a statewide personhood initiative that would provide legal protection for unborn children, including from abortion. That's assuming Colorado for Equal Rights can submit 76,000 signatures by May 13 to qualify the measure. The constitutional amendment endorsing personhood for unborn children could pave the way to prohibiting abortions. Pray that Colorado for Equal Rights would get the needed signatures to place the state amendment on the ballot in November. Pray that voters in Colorado would vote for life in their state. Pray for protection over the unborn children.
