Pray for a family in Oradea who frequently visits relatives in Debrecen to become Christians this year.
2. The pictured balconies are painted vermilion, a shade of bright red-orange. This color is mentioned in Jeremiah 22:14, describing King Jehoiakim’s luxurious house with painted vermilion walls.

Pray that the next person to stand on one of the pictured balconies will not exhibit the pride and paganism of Jehoiakim and the Babylonians, but will instead bow in humility before the Lord God Almighty.

This post was originally published on March 30, 2021. - Hobby Summer Series Conclusion
Today marks the end of TGP’s summer series featuring prayer requests drawn from different hobbies. Thank you to all who submitted their personal hobbies for inclusion!
The following interest areas have been featured:
Nature Walking
Reading & Listening to Audiobooks
Card Making
Weaving
Gardening
Writing Fiction
Knitting
Fishing
Quilling
Fast Draw
Cooking
Modeling
Collecting

Singing
1. If you enjoy a hobby that is not on the list above, pray for someone else in the world today who enjoys the same activity to meet Jesus.
2. Pick any activity from the list, and pray for the Lord to use Christians who enjoy that activity to be a light for Him to their fellow hobbyists who do not know Him.
3. When God created the world, He did so ex nihilo – out of nothing. Part of being made in His image is the fact that humans enjoy creating things out of the raw materials He has provided. All of the activities above illustrate that principle. Thank God for sharing this aspect of His personhood with us.
John 4:13-14
- London, England

1. Pray that one tour guide leading people through historical sites will be led to the One who began time.
2. Christianity is reported to be the largest religious group, encompassing all Protestant and Catholic religions. Muslims make up the second largest group. England is moving more to secularism. Pray for true followers of Christ to experience personal revival and then bring others to Christ.

Thank you to Cheri Parish for taking today’s on-site photos and writing the prayer requests!
- Cooking
These tasty and attractive breakfast roll-ups were a practical and heartfelt gift from a Colorado TGP team member and her daughters. Cooking is a hobby that turns the necessity of eating into a delightful art. God has created a myriad of foods, and the possibilities of combining ingredients in different ways and techniques are limitless. Putting an appetizing and wholesome meal on the table is the starting point for great family conversations / bonding during meal time, as well as a way to extend the love of God to one’s own family and beyond.
1. Pray for God to give you an opportunity to share something about Jesus the next time you are in a grocery store.
2. The greatest banquet of all time will take place at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. Thank God for His amazing hospitality that invites all to come!
3. Just as we must have food to survive physically, so Jesus is the Bread of Life on which our souls depend. Indeed, He has said that “…Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.” Pray for a professional chef who does not know Christ to realize the value of Him as the Bread of Life, and treasure His words as more important than necessary food (Job 23:12).

- Pray for someone leaving the port to taste of the Living Water.
- In a world that focuses on luxury and convenience, pray for one woman on board one of those cruises to recognize that only Christ can satisfy and bring true joy.
- Alcohol is everywhere on the cruises. Pray that one person will allow Christ to break the addiction that consumes them.

- Alasehir (Philadelphia), Turkey
