I agree that it will be a great idea to pray for a particular intention like we did in December. But I also feel that it will be a good idea if we could all on Joynet pray for a particular intention each week. Storm the heavens.....
For people who have abortion....
For people who are into drugs and alcohol...
For those in prison.
For atheists....
For children who are abused by their parents...
I am sure we can find many such people we can all pray for.
With prayers

Dear Joynet friends
This is in connection with Kurian uncle's and Sanju's mails.
I would also like to state hereunder my opinion.
We selected a day and prayed on 20th of december '02. As sanju mentioned, why
we cannot continue with this prayer once in a month. I will also suggest that
"Once in month", and should be the same day, means last month it was 20, we
can fix a day on this month as suggested by kurian uncle i.e. 24th friday of
this month, OR last friday of each month. We can do the same prayer of 20th
december and continue with that. (praye is added to our homepage)
we would like to know eachone of your opinion / suggestion.
with prayer

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
One good thing about praying together is that all
of us will become more and more united in the Spirit
of God. This prayer initiative is yet another step
towards it. Would like to mention that our prayer for
all our terrorists brothers did go well with the Lord
and there are subtle but powerful changes happening.
The longest insurgency problem in India is regarding
the Naga homeland in the North East. If you have taken
notice ; the NSCN leaders are in New Delhi now for
talks with L K Advani(the Home Minister) and they are
looking for peace. Well, I believe in faith that it is
bcos of our prayers. Amen.
Just some suggestions regarding the Joynet prayer
days(these are personal views) :
1. Can our Prayer days be once in a month or once in 2
months ? This is bcos most of us already have fasting
commitments once or twice a week.
2. Can the prayer initiatives also be driven by the
Events in the world or our country ? So that depending
on the need of the hour all of us can unite and pray.
3. It would also be good that we do not limit the
prayer to a single day. It will be great if the same
prayer is repeated over a period of one week. Bcos
some of the problems are so big that it requires an
on-going prayer support(say terrorism/wars). However
let this not be the thumbrule as all of us will not be
able to unite in prayer for the entire week at the
same time.
Love and Prayers
Sanju Joseph.
