British Leadership Prayer Project: Prime Minister David Cameron!



If countries were women, Great Britain would be the young lady who loves "Star Wars."  When I studied abroad there several years ago, the British people and I were a match made in heaven.  I fell in love with their culture and made many of the best friends I have ever had over there.  That is why I desperately want them to receive everlasting life through Jesus Christ.  My British friends are among the most attractive, intelligent, and wealthy people whom I have ever met, yet most of them are miserable.  The majority of them have never heard the gospel and don't realize that their lives have value, meaning, and purpose in the sight of God.  They are so desperate for happiness that they are pursing addictive and self-destructive habits to fill the void in their lives.  Yet, there is one key difference between them and my American peers: they are willing to listen to the gospel.  Great Britain is ready for a revival, and I have decided to pray that this wonderful nation once again receives the peace and joy of Jesus Christ.  I will spend each month praying for either a British political leader or a member of their royal family.  For November, I will be lifting up none other than Prime Minister David Cameron to God.

The Prime Minister does profess to be a Christian.  However, based on his statements in the articles below, it's possible that this assertion is based solely on being a member of the Anglican church.  Unfortunately, being part of a church is not enough to receive eternal life.  You must have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ to be reconciled with God.  This month I will pray that the Prime Minister accepts Jesus as His Lord and Savior.  In case he has already done that, I will also pray that the Holy Spirit sets his heart on fire for God so that he can lead others to Christ.
