A. THE ELECTIONS: to be free and fair; all corrupt actions to be exposed; a violence-free election - before, during and after the elections; people to realise their huge responsibility to vote and to vote wisely and not according to fear, persuasion or tradition; the voting stations to be properly prepared and equipped.  [Proverbs 11: 1; 29: 2; Isaiah 10: 1-2]

B. OUR NMB MATRICULANTS as they write their final examinations! Pray for them to find a quiet place where they can study and to study well; for their families to be considerate and to give them the space and time to study; them to be able to retain what they learn, so that when they sit for the exams they will be able to recall all that they have learnt. Pray that they won't be anxious, but will lean on the Lord's help! Praise God for the wonderful Pens-Down Rally that took place at the Beachfront - organised by the Moral Regeneration Team - where thousands of Matric learners thanked Jesus for His Hand on their lives.  [Philippians: 4: 6]

C. THE CHURCH: The success of the many outreaches taking place in NMB; for many people to come to salvation through these outreaches; for the new believers to settle in congregations where they will be well taught; for businesspeople to catch the vision of workplace ministry. Believers to recognise the need to protect the unity in congregations and also interdenominationally; for Christians to practise the presence of God and learn to 'walk with God'; Christians to be 'salt and light' in whatever situation they find themselves. Pray for the revival of the Church to bring forth a Harvest of Souls; and a Great Awakening to occur in NMB and throughout South Africa! Nelson Mandela Bay to be restored. Believers to reach out with the Gospel into schools, clinics, hospitals and retirement villages.  [Nehemiah 2: 17]

D. CRIME and VIOLENCE: Let's trust God for all violence in NMB to cease, and those that have suffered any form of Gender-Based Violence (GBV) in the past to receive godly guidance, healing from trauma, protection, and spiritual and emotional restoration. The protection of all our youth from kidnapping and human trafficking.  [Ps. 34: 17]
The exposure and arrest of the syndicates behind the kidnapping and human trafficking.
Our Police to have great wisdom, knowledge, understanding, discernment and strategy as they seek to uncover the crime and violence in the Bay and arrest the criminals; residents in every suburb and area of NMB to be on the alert and to report suspicious behaviour to the relevant authority; for the Neighbourhood Watch groups and the security firms to work together to successfully track down the criminal element in our various areas.
The Justice System: to judge righteously!  [Is 60: 18]
