I just got this:
The following update was recently sent out by Iris Ministries...
To The Bakers close friends and prayer support,
Heidi asked me to contact you for prayer as bombs have detonated in our capitol city Maputo, Mozambique. Three bombs have already hit our children's center in Zimpeto. As Heidi was talking on the phone with Norberto (her son who was sobbing), a bomb went off as he was speaking in our center. Apparently, he barely moved out of the way to avoid it. Three bombs hit the center. Our church got hit by a bomb, windows were shattered. Our kids just rallied together in our shattered church, just worshipping and worshipping and praying. However, our children are extremely scared. (Photo: Rolland and Heidi Baker)

The government made a mistake and mixed chemicals in our hot 36 degree (C), (96.8 F) weather. This set off one missile, which had a domino effect. It is complete and utter chaos. There is no way, at this point, to reverse that mistake. I don't believe any of our children have been hit.
Recently, The Mozambican Government refused to declare a national emergency for the recent flooding of Zambezi River, despite the fact that tens of thousands of lives have been displaced. People were starving, living like animals. Iris is one of the only relief efforts out there. In fact, a few days ago, the government again refused to acknowledge the situation as a national emergency, and even denied duty free status on our twelve containers of food. The good news is that no one is refusing Jesus. Heidi said that everyone within the sound of a preacher's voice runs to Jesus.

We are trusting Jesus completely. God recently spoke to Heidi that He was going to shine a global spot light on Mozambique. That as the government refused outside help/attention/relief, God Himself would intervene. That even that which the enemy intended for evil would be used for good. We want our entire nation transformed by the glory of God. Nothing less.

Heavenly Father we lift up the Bakers and their family and friends. Lord you know what is going on there in Mozambique right now. Be with the Bakers and give them Your wisdom to know what they need to be doing. We bind the forces of darkness from being able to harm them an any way shape or form. Cover them and their entire church family with the blood of Jesus. Give them your peace, in the precious name of Jesus. Amen.

I will pray that The Bakers and the Iris Foundation may feel the presence of God surrounding them and give them the strength to continue to feed the hungry-both physically and spiritually. May God bless them and their efforts. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Yes, we must pray.
1 Timothy 2:8
I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
John 14:13
13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
2 Chronicles 6:34-39
34 If thy people go out to war against their enemies by the way that thou shalt send them, and they pray unto thee toward this city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name; 35 Then hear thou from the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
