After a break while life attacked (and a holiday) i am back suggesting countries for people to pray for. This week i would like to remind people about Lebanon, a country which has in the past been wracked apart by civil war. It still has UN peace keepers stationed their, as the Israel conflict often spills in to Southern Lebanon. It has some difficulty with it's relationship with neighbouring Syria. Yesterday was the fifth anniversary of the assignation of it's former president, where Syria maybe be implemented. The UN are still investigating who is responsible.
Lebanon has the freest press of any Arab state. It has historically been a place of refugee from oppression in neighbouring states. It has a mix of religions. This is demonstrated by having a Christian president and a Muslim prime minister.
Prayer and Praise points
* Praise that different religious groups work together and that this will continue to be the case
*For relationships with it's neighours - Israel, where the UN police an area in the South of Lebanon
- Syria with some in the country being pro and some anti
*Praise for the current press freedom, and that press freedom would continue to grow.
