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
- 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.

Psalm 103:19
“The LORD hath prepared
His throne in the heavens;
and His kingdom ruleth over all.”
1. Kevin Rideout: Over four months have passed since Kevin was kidnapped from his home in Niamey, Niger. Pray for the Lord to bring information to light regarding his whereabouts/condition.
2. Milton, USA: With around 11,000 residents, Milton ranks as the eighth largest community in Vermont. Pray for the Lord’s hand to be on the churches in Milton that are seeking to faithfully follow Him.
3. Your Choice: Please pray for a request you remember from the other locations featured this week:
Iran
Lake Tiberias: Asia
Lake Victoria: Africa
Lake Huron: North America
Jackman, USA
Thank you for praying!
- Lake Tiberias (aka Lake Kinneret, Sea of Galilee): Asia
Photo taken on-site in summer of 2001 1. Israel, Syria, and Jordan are countries around Lake Tiberias. Pray for someone from each of those nations to come to faith in Christ today.
2. In addition to being Israel’s largest lake, Lake Tiberias is also the world’s lowest freshwater lake. It is fed from both the Jordan River and underground springs. As in Biblical times, fishing and agriculture continue to be important in the area today. Pray for a modern fisherman to be caught by the Great Fisher of Men.
3. Tiberias is a town on the west of the lake with about 45,000 residents. Pray for Biblical churches to be established in Tiberias that will remain until the Lord returns.
Revelation 22:1,17

- Lake Victoria: Africa
Lake Victoria is:
1. Africa’s largest lake
2. Earth’s largest tropical lake
3. Earth’s second largest freshwater lake by surface area
Forty million people (and growing quickly every year) live in the drainage basin of Lake Victoria, from the countries of Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda, Kenya, and Uganda. The lake is the source of the Nile River. David Livingston was one of several British explorers in the 1800’s who worked to confirm or deny this fact when it was still in question.
1. This picture is from a park along the coastline of Mwanza, a Tanzanian town famous for its granite rock. Pray for the next person who steps on the pictured rocks to find a sure footing for life by placing faith in Christ alone.
2. Just as the Nile’s source was a topic of debate and much exploration, the source of true happiness and significant meaning in life is also. Pray for a Ugandan worker at one of Lake Victoria’s many resorts to personally find the answer to this vital quest.
3. Harvesting 2,000,000,000 pounds of fish annually, the lake provides the world’s biggest freshwater fish supply. * Pray for Christians among the 200,000 workers in that industry to walk in the Spirit today.
Revelation 22:1,17

- Milton, USA
Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Milton.
Photo from Google Earth 1. “Creemees” are a Vermont specialty ice cream. The higher butterfat content than standard ice cream has makes the texture of creemees very silky. Their classic flavor is maple syrup, a signature product of the state of Vermont. The 360° view of this picture (taken in the summer of 2025) shows a couple adults and several children walking toward the business. Pray that every child who enjoyed creemees here last summer will hear the gospel before reaching adulthood.
2. With around 11,000 residents, Milton ranks as the eighth largest community in the state. Pray for the Lord’s hand to be on the churches in Milton that are seeking to faithfully follow Him.
3. Milton was chartered in 1763 by Governor Benning Wentworth, who granted approximately 135 town charters (among which many towns still exist today). Included in those towns is Bennington, named after the governor, and also holding the distinction of being Vermont’s oldest town (chartered in 1749). Bennington has been featured previously on TGP. Pray for someone living in Milton who has family connections in Bennington to come to know Christ, and for the Bennington family members to do the same.
Psalm 103:19
