Prayers answered in a more crime-free Joburg

The prayer-walk around Johannesburg had over 200 prayer-partners involved. I just want to thank everyone for praying for the city - especially for praying about the crime and safety!

I have great encouragement for you all:

We prayed for a crime-free and safe Johannesburg... Johannesburg was exceptionally safe and ctime-free!

"Johannesburg has enjoyed an exceptionally crime-free and safe festive season... We can report a significant reduction in the number of deaths and serious accidents on our roads during the holiday period. The 2010 festive season was one of the safest periods in recent years both on our roads and with regards to general crime in Johannesburg," Metro Police Chief Chris Ngcobo, said in a statement.

The authorities credit the practical components like cooperation from the public and the Metro police department (JMPD) officers BUT I add to that by giving credit to God for His intervention and grace.

Thank You Lord Jesus
for hearing our prayers
and thank You Lord for making Joburg safer
and crime-free
We trust You Lord for our safety and
adjust our vision to have You in the centre
of our security plans
We love You Lord Jesus
amen

Now... Please keep on praying so this would continue to be a safer and more crime-free city.
