For your intercession (FYD - A Project of Prayer-Research)

We are living in a world that is driving into the future with rapid speed. While knowing that God is the One who changes times and seasons, many Christians continue to live without understanding of the times. Prayer-Research seeks to open up the eyes of the hearts and minds that Christians may see, recognize, consider and gain insight of the hand of the Lord upon this world.

The sons of Issachar in 1 Chronicles 12:32 are described as "men who understood the times, with knowledge of what Israel should do." That is, they have the wisdom to respond properly to God and His law in discerning what is to be done in regards to public affair, the nation, and the propensity of the events. As time draws closer, we, Christians in Malaysia, like the sons of Issachar, must be sensitive to the times as we continue to seek God for wisdom and revelatory knowledge, to love Him with all our heart, and with all our soul and with all our mind. Let us be watchful, prayerful and proactive, to prepare to live responsibly and to minister in the world that is bombarded with pressing issues of times.

Some of the Feedback from the requests of FYI that have been sent out to churches since July 2003.

"It has been good... an eye opener for us or else we will not be able to zero in to pray on issues affecting the nation. FYI not only provides the global pressing issues, also gives us prayer direction."
Dungun ELIM Church

"For those who sometimes have no time to read the newspaper, it is very helpful for informed intercession. Please do keep them short though, if it is too long I am afraid people will just delete it."
PJ EFC

"It is helpful for the prayer requests to be sent via email and the prayer points are really good. It gives us an idea of what we chould focus on. I have forwarded those prayer points or posted them elsewhere to encourage people to pray. The prayer updates keep us informed of answered prayers and remind us to praise and thanks God."
Shah Alam Gospel Centre

"It is so encouraging to see the Lord answering prayers. It motivates us to be even more fervent in praying for the nation. In fact, we have stepped up our prayers. we are now meeting twice a month instead of once!"
