Who will stand in the gap?

The village of Kolontár flooded with toxic waste

You may have heard about the dam that cracked, releasing tons of toxic red mud into Hungarian villages and waterways recently. The mud is a bi-product of aluminum production and has been building up in a reservoir for some time now.  When the dam broke, it flooded the homes, fields and rivers in the area with its toxins, killing nine people, all of the fish and other life in the nearby rivers, and polluting the land for many years to come. 

Man dumping the mud from his house

People were evacuated from their homes. Workers started immediately building a newer and stronger dam to hold back the remaining mud before it too is released. Police and military were mobilized to begin efforts to clean up the enormous mess.The aluminum plant at fault was seized by the Hungarian government. Help is pouring in. People are standing in the gap to help those who have lost so much.

Yet many Hungarians are perishing still. Their spirits have been polluted, and they are living just downstream from a broken dam that is continually leaking toxins into their hearts. They have been displaced from their spiritual homes, and may never be able to see the heavenly dwellings that they were created for. Won’t you stand in the gap with us for these people and for this land. We believe that it is only through the humble prayers of God’s people that the land will be healed. We are praying for God to raise up an army of prayer warriors who would be willing to do battle for God’s work in Hungary on a daily basis. If you feel God sharing His burden for Hungary with you, please let us know. If you are willing to saturate this country in prayer, please let us know. God is putting together His army. Is He calling you into battle?

'And (if) My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.’ 2 Chron 7:14
