Great Follow Up to World Cup
Posted on | August 19, 2010 | Comments Off
A friend forwarded me this story. I haven’t verified from our friends in South Africa, if they share the same opinion as this writer, but it would be thrilling to think if this news was even half true.
It also makes me think of the part Media Village played in creating and airing their anti human trafficking Public Service Announcement.
SOUTH AFRICA: How God Worked through Prayer at the World Cup

On Sunday, August 29, Christians in South Africa will hold a Day of Thanksgiving for the Soccer World Cup 2010. In the last six months many churches and believers prayed for this event and there were multiple prayer initiatives in and around the stadiums. 24/7 prayer watches covered each of the ten stadium cities, while many [additional] prayer groups prayed consistently. There are many amazing testimonies all over the country of how God worked, people received Christ as savior [and] others were healed physically and emotionally.
“We acknowledge that all the credit and glory must go to God alone. He is a prayer-answering God and he is a ‘rewarder of those who diligently seek him’,” says Bennie Mostert of the prayer movement Jericho Walls. “It is public knowledge that crime was curbed in a significant way,” reports Sarah Gerhart of OCI International.
“Many feared that human trafficking would be a big problem, but exactly the opposite happened… CNN stated that ‘no one is interested in sex’ (prostitution). One high-profile escort agency reported a drop of 80 percent in business. All over the country police [also] confirmed a significant drop in crime and especially violent crime.”
“Literally thousands of churches reached out to local people and foreign visitors.”
