G-20 Coming to the United States Sept. 24-25, 2009


Dear Saints,
The G-20 which is made up of finance ministers and bank governors from 19 nations plus the European Union [represented by the rotating Council presidency and the European Central Bank] is meeting in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA on September 24-25, 2009. The meeting is described as follows:
"The G-20 is an informal forum that promotes open and constructive discussion between industrial and emerging-market countries on key issues related to global economic stability. By contributing to the strengthening of the international financial architecture and providing opportunities for dialogue on national policies, international co-operation, and international financial institutions, the G-20 helps to support growth and development across the globe."

We need to pray for these people and the nations they represent. The folks that will be converging here represent 85% of the worlds wealth. The President of the United States will be chairing the group.
The countries are:

Argentina
Australia
Brazil
Canada
China
France
Germany
India
Indonesia
Italy
Japan
Mexico
Russia
Saudi Arabia
South Africa
South Korea
Turkey
United Kingdom

There are four (4) working groups for this summit. Here are the documents they will be working from.

G-20 Working group 3: Reform of the IMF (PDF file, 311KB)G-20

Working Group 4: The World Bank and other multilateral development banks (PDF file, 194KB)

Saints, its very important to pray for all who are in authority. Additional information on the G-20 is accessible to the public at their official website.

These folks need our prayers.

What is needed is wisdom from God to address the world's financial market. But, even more important than the market are the souls of the nations. We should pray for the salvation of souls, the souls of national leaders and whole populations of those nations. Pray for salvation and then the restoration of "right mind" among rich and poor nations alike.

Thank you for your faithfulness in prayer.

Soli Deo Gloria!
