How can we pray?

SOUTHERN ASIA. How can Christians pray effectively for the areas of southern Asia hit by the catastrophic tsunami of December 26, 2004?

According to one local missionary, "The most critical prayer is for the survivors, the people of Aceh, and the other countries in Asia that have been hurt by this--but specifically for the people of Aceh. This is an area of Indonesia that has been completely locked down for the last 18 months to outside media and aid workers. For decades it has been embroiled in a civil war with the Indonesian government. So this really represents a phenomenal opportunity for the rest of the world--and for the body of Christ--to step up and make an impact. It's an opportunity to (show them) there are people that love them and want to care for them through this difficult time....This will be a phenomenal time for the people of Aceh to understand who Christ is."
