TARGETED GLOBAL PRAYER
DAILY PRAYER FOR JESUS TO BE KNOWN TO THE PEOPLES OF THE WORLD
“From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD’s name is to be praised.” Psalm 113:3
- Waltersdorfer Chaussee (Berlin), Germany
Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Waltersdorfer Chaussee.
Photo from the Conqueror Virtual Challenges app 1. Waltersdorfer Chaussee was a strictly monitored border crossing checkpoint for those coming from West Berlin to Schonefeld Airport in East Berlin. Schonefeld Airport opened for civilian travel in 1947, and closed in 2020. Pray for any pilots who regularly flew in and out of Schonefeld Airport during its days of operation to hear a clear gospel message before the end of their lives, and trust Jesus for salvation.
2. The pictured mile marker shows travel directions and distances to various destinations. Pray that the next person who stops to look at the mile marker will also look to God’s Word as the only infallible source for directions on how to reach the eternal destination of “the City with foundations, Whose builder and maker is God.” (Heb. 11:10)
3. Our virtual prayer walk will be 30 miles along the historic Berlin Wall path. Pray for all 30-year-old Christians in Berlin to grow in their walk with the Lord this spring, and purpose in their hearts to always follow Him.
Psalm 96:1-3
- Black Sea: Europe & Asia
The Black Sea is a very interesting body of water. It has two distinct layers: the top 10% is freshwater, while the lower 90% is salt water, with almost no oxygen mixed in. The condition of this lower layer is conducive to the preservation of once living things and even ancient shipwrecks; a 2,400 year old Greek sunken ship was found there.
Ten of Europe’s largest rivers flow into the Black Sea, whose drainage basin is two-thirds the size of Europe. The Black Sea has been in the news frequently during the past few years due to the current Russian-Ukrainian War. It is very important in facilitating commerce and trade.
1. “Red and yellow, black and white – they are precious in His sight…” So goes a line from the song “Jesus Loves the Little Children of the World.” Interestingly, there are also world seas named for each of those colors. Pray for the children of the world living around each of those seas to hear that Jesus loves them. Pray for Christians to go tell them this good news, and disciple the children who believe it.
2. The two pictures above were originally part of one panoramic view of the Black Sea’s coastline near Inceburun. Pray for each member of the family in the second picture to trust Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior.
3. The Greeks once called the Black Sea the “Inhospitable Sea,” due to both storms / navigational challenges, and hostile tribes along the coastline. However, after successful colonization, it was renamed the “Hospitable Sea.” Pray for the Christians who live in the drainage basin of the Black Sea to yield today to the Holy Spirit’s work in their hearts, that He may continue to transform their lives into the image of Christ, thus making them more and more hospitable to the reign of their Father.

- New Virtual Prayer Walk!
A chunk of graffiti – covered concrete was on a missionary display table in the foyer of a small Texas church. It was the 1990’s, and as a young person I felt like I was touching a piece of history when I touched that piece of concrete. It was a chunk from the Berlin Wall.
The Berlin Wall separated East and West Germany from 1961-1989, and became the tangible symbol of the separation of the Free World and the Iron Curtain. Running for 96 miles, there were actually two parallel walls with a death strip of land in between. This area contained trenches, bunkers, guards, dogs, 302 watchtowers, and 55,000 landmines. It was truly a glorious day when the Berlin Wall fell.
TGP’s spring virtual prayer walk will be in Berlin, Germany, along thirty miles of where the Berlin Wall stood. One of TGP’s big goals is to host a virtual prayer walk in every continent, and to date we have completed North America (New York City) and Asia (Tokyo). Our European virtual prayer walk will begin Monday, March 9, 2026. Every Monday – Friday, I will be walking actual distances, plotting those on our route map, and featuring three prayer requests from the street view of whatever our location is for that day.
A new series is always a great opportunity for new members to join the Targeted Global Prayer team! We are also coming up on TGP’s five year anniversary (March 20). Please consider inviting one person to join us for the Berlin virtual prayer walk.
Another fact to highlight is that today marks a change in the way that daily prayer posts will be sent. I have discontinued using Follow It’s email delivery service, and will be sending each day’s email directly from targetedglobalprayer@gmail.com.
Also, when people want to join TGP, they do not need to sign up on the website; they need only email their names to targetedglobalprayer@gmail.com.
Thank you to every team member who faithfully prays for Jesus Christ to be known to the peoples of the world! Here are three quick requests for today:
1. Pray for the Lord to use our upcoming Berlin virtual prayer walk to bring many people into His kingdom.
2. Pray for new team members to join TGP this weekend.
3. Pray for the Lord to help you think of someone to invite to join us.
Romans 1:16
- Mount Washington, USA
Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Mount Washington.
Photo from Google Earth 1. Mount Washington is located in New Hampshire’s White Mountains, and is the highest peak in the Northeastern USA. It is known for extreme and sometimes volatile weather. The highest wind speed ever recorded in the world was documented to be 231 mph on Mount Washington in 1934. Staff for both the observatory and the state park live on the summit all year long, taking rotating shifts of a week at a time. Living quarters are in the lower floor of the office building, and that building has been designed to withstand winds up to 300 mph. Pray for the salvation of a staff member who is on Mount Washington this week, that his / her life will become founded on the only Rock that can withstand every storm of any type.
2. Expert level backcountry skiers come to Mount Washington for the thrill of the challenge to successfully ski down Tuckerman Ravine and the Gulf of Slides. (There is no typical ski resort or ski lift service on Mount Washington due to the dangers of avalanches.) Pray for the pictured skiers to embrace a life of wholehearted devotion to Jesus Christ, an adventure that far surpasses any temporal thrills.
3. Mount Washington is part of the Presidential Range, which has many peaks named after US Presidents. A strenuous hiking challenge called the Presidential Traverse provides a route to climb several peaks. Due to weather challenges, hikers can stay in Appalachian Mountain Club huts along the way. Pray for a duo who are preparing to hike the Presidential Traverse this summer, that they will attend a Biblical church service in their hometown this spring, and hear and believe the gospel.
Romans 1:16
- Macapa, Brazil
Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Macapa.
- Macapa is located on the bank of the Amazon River, ninety-three miles from where it empties into the Atlantic Ocean on Brazil’s northern coastline. The picture above features a statue of three women doing laundry at the river’s edge. The Amazon River is in the middle background of the picture, with the distant shoreline at the far background. Pray for any woman doing laundry today in Macapa to have the opportunity to have her heart cleansed whiter than any fabric could ever be.
- Macapa has about 487,000 residents, and the equator runs through the city. Because of this, it has been nicknamed “The Capital of the Middle of the World.” Pray for someone who will cross the equatorial line today to also cross over the line from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of God’s dear Son.
- There are a few roads out of Macapa, but most travel to other Brazilian cities is by air or sea. A bridge opened in 2017 that connects Macapa to the country of French Guiana, which is the first road from the country of Brazil as a whole into French Guiana. Pray for the engineer who designed this bridge to meet the Engineer Who not only designed, but Himself is the sole Bridge from mankind to God.
Revelation 22:17

- Orongo, Easter Island (Chile)
Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Easter Island.
1. Stone houses such as the one above are found at the top of a steep cliff in Orongo, and were once the location for yearly birdman cult ceremonies. When Christianity was introduced to the island, many left those customs for the Truth. Today, Orongo is a World Heritage site. Pray for visiting tourists to similarly be introduced to the Truth, that they may abandon their own attempts at creating meaning and purpose in exchange for the gospel.
2. Easter Island became a Chilean territory in 1888. Currently 5,000 people live on the island. The island’s name stems from the fact that it was first seen by a European explorer on Easter Sunday in 1722 (metmuseum.org). Pray that as Easter Sunday this year approaches, many salvation decisions will be made.
3. Pray for the Scripture to be widely available and read by many islanders.
Psalm 63:3

- Cape Town, South Africa
1. Pray for someone who will stand on this street corner today to become a Christian.
2. Pray that if any believers happen to be in the striped building above, they will yield to the Spirit’s work in their lives to make them more like the Son for the glory of the Father.
3. Nicknamed South Africa’s “Mother City,” Cape Town is the country’s legislative capital and oldest city. It has also born the names “Cape of Storms” and “Cape of Good Hope.” Pray that someone experiencing stormy times in life will know the truly good hope found in Jesus Christ.

- Ramadan
February 17 – March 19 is the 2026 celebration of Ramadan. This Muslim holiday commemorates when the Quran was written. The month’s emphases are focused devotion to Allah, charity to the poor, and purification/self-restraint. The stand-out component of Ramadan is fasting from dawn until dusk, although both pre-dawn and after-dusk meals are eaten daily.
1. Fifty-seven nations are members of the OIC (Organization of Islamic Cooperation). Pray that during this year’s Ramadan celebration, one Muslim from each of those countries will become a Christian.
2. Around 25% of the world’s population are Muslim (1.9 billion people). Indonesia heads the list of countries with the most adherants: 242 million people. Several American companies have a vital role in helping develop Indonesia’s infrastructure, natural resources, and information technology. Pray for Christians to be able to use these connections as an entrance point to Indonesia, and have many God-given opportunities to witness for Jesus there.
3. Christians in Muslim families often face extreme difficulty and pressure to revert to Islam. Pray for all such Christians during this month of Ramadan: that the Lord will remind them of His love continually, protect and provide for all their needs, give them opportunities to fellowship with other believers, and grant courage to continue living for Him.
