Father
God, you say in Your Word in 1Timothy 2:1 that we should pray for those who are
our political leaders. We count that as
a real privilege as we pray today for the Hon. Christy Clark the Premier and
President of the Executive Council. Lord
we acknowledge and thank you that You have placed her in those roles. We ask
that Your hand would be upon her and You would lead and guide her in all that
she does. God You also say that You will give wisdom to those that ask. We pray
that You will give her Your wisdom and guidance, that You will also
give her Your supernatural peace and rest in the midst of her busy schedule.
Christy Clark was sworn in as British Columbia’s 35th Premier on March 14, 2011 and was elected Vancouver-Point Grey MLA in a by-election on May 12, 2011.
She previously served as the MLA for Port Moody-Burnaby Mountain (1996-2001) and Port Moody-Westwood (2001-2005). She has served as Deputy Premier, Minister of Education, Minister of Children and Family Development and vice-chair of Treasury Board.
During her first term, she sat on the Select Standing Committee on Environment and Tourism and on the Official Opposition Caucus Committee for Children.
She took a break from government in 2005 to spend more time with her family. She worked in the media during her time from government, including as a columnist and commentator and host of the “Christy Clark Show” on CKNW.
Premier Clark brought the anti-bullying “Pink Shirt Campaign” to British Columbia to raise awareness of issues related to bullying in our schools, workplace and communities.
She has received several awards, including the YWCA Woman of Distinction Award and the 2009 Woman of the Year in BC by the Consumer Choice Awards. She attended Simon Fraser University (SFU), the Sorbonne (France) and the University of Edinburgh (Scotland, UK), studying Political Science and Religious Studies.
