Elections took place on 24 September for the second time in the nation's history, an act inspired by the protests Middle Eastern countries have witnessed during the spring and summer. A little over a fourth of the 129,000 voters chosen by the United Arab Emirates selected one woman and 19 men to fill 20 of the 40 seats of the Federal National Council, an advisory council which holds no legislative powers.
Pray that these new members will draft laws that agree with the wisdom and truth of God in Christ Jesus.
Ask the Lord to send dreams and visions to these new legislators and for the ruling families in this nation to listen to their advice.
Pray for the government in the UAE to govern with righteousness and justice.
Pray these new officials will influence this nation toward religious freedom so that the Christians may worship and evangelize openly, and for many people to accept Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord. (Luke 3:6)
