US President-Elect Barack Obama

Congratulations to US President-Elect Barack Obama. God has established Obama as the next President of the United States, in accordance with Paul's words in Romans 13:1, and so now we need to pray for Obama as he undertakes this new position. He's certainly going to need a lot of prayer, as he's got his hands full as the next President of the US. Obama is going to enter the White House and immediately face challenges related to the international financial and credit crisis, failing banks, a falling stock market, home foreclosures, job losses, environmental problems, and terrorist threats.

Obama's historic victory is the main story here in Peru. All day long, Peruvians have been asking me for my opinion about Obama. I'm sure it's the same for you, wherever in the world that you are doing international ministry. Take advantage of this opportunity to engage others in conversation about Obama, and about what the Bible says about submission to authorities and God's establishment of governing authorities. Obama's victory is a great conversation starter, and a great opportunity for you to promote your ministry. The entire world is talking about US President-Elect Barack Obama, and you should be, too, regardless of whether or not you support him or his policies, but rather as a way to connect your international ministry and vision to the most important and most historic news story of the day.
