Day 13
United Arab Emirates
The UAE’s General Raisi was recently elected president of the global police agency Interpol. Human rights organizations oppose him taking this position because they believe he was involved with torture. The tiny Church in the UAE can potentially reflect God’s compassionate character for all to see. We declare this for the United Arab Emirates: Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and His understanding no one can fathom. (The Bible, Isaiah 40:28).
