Asia's Child Soldiers

There are at least 300,000 children actively involved in wars or uprisings in 41 countries around the world. Tens of thousands of children have been recruited in the past decade – most are teenagers, but many are below the age of 10. There is no discrimination between the sexes.

Advancements in weapon technology allow increasingly younger children to handle AK-47s, M-16s and grenades with ease. Those who do not actually carry arms and go into combat take on roles that are just as, if not more, dangerous.

PRAY :
That our Asian children in strife-stricken nations will be protected, saved and allowed to be children.
For the Father heart of God to minister to those already within this involvement.
For the release of these children.
Against the abusive, destructive spirit set out to ruin these children's lives and hearts.
