- Pray for Iraqi children, some under the age of 11, who are being trained to kill and hate. An al-Qaeda training video showing children carrying pistols, machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades, and participating in a mock kidnapping was found in a raid on suspected al-Qaeda hideouts late last year. Pray for healing and peace in this violent part of the world.
