  • 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

    Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Milton.

    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

    1. Pray for the current driver of this logging truck to meet and love the Lord of all creation, Who made the trees from which the worker derives a livelihood.

    2. Called the “Switzerland of Maine” because of its mountainous surroundings, Jackman, Maine, is nestled in the Moose River Valley a mere 16 miles from the Canadian border. Many people come to Jackman for outdoor sports ranging from snowmobiling to hunting. Pray for a winter tourist who is in Jackman this week to hear and believe the gospel.

    3. Pray for a resident of Jackman who has previously received but rejected a gospel witness to once again be convicted by the Holy Spirit of his need for salvation, and this time to repent/believe.

    Psalm 103:19

  • Lake Huron: North America

    Shared by the USA and Canada, Lake Huron could almost hold the state of West Virginia entirely on its surface. Thirty thousand islands rise above the lake’s surface, including the popular vacation destination Mackinac Island. Lake Huron connects to Lake Michigan via the Straits of Mackinac. Lake Huron has more coastline miles than any of the other Great Lakes, and is the world’s fifth largest freshwater lake.

    1.   Pray that every person in the water at Lake Huron today will come across something from the Word of God by the end of this summer, and that the Holy Spirit will keep bringing it to their attention.

    2.   Pray for a groundskeeper at the Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse to himself meet the ultimate Lighthouse Who rescues lives from sin’s shipwrecks.

    3.   Pray for a Lake Huron tugboat operater to know the God Who can move life’s heaviest burdens.

    Revelation 22:1,17

  • Iran

    This post was originally published on January 13, 2026. Due to continuing events in Iran, let us bring these requests again before our Father:

    1. Pray for the Lord to protect innocent lives, and thwart the plans of the wicked.

    2. Pray for truth, justice, and freedom to prevail in the current crisis.

    3. Pray for Iranian Christians to continually sense the Lord’s presence and provision.

    Philippians 4:13

  • Lubango, Angola

    Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Lubango.

    1. Pray for the person who hangs laundry out to line dry here to discover how to personally wear the robes of righteousness that Jesus offers freely to all who receive Him.

    2. With close to a million people, Lubango is Angola’s second largest city (after the capital city of Luanda). Pray for an outreach to begin to the Ouivamo ethnic group (half African and half Cape Colony Dutch descent).

    3. In 1923, the Mocamedes Railway connected Lubango to the coast. Pray for a train engineer in this century to board the “gospel train,” with his ticket marked “paid in full” by the Owner of that train.

    Psalm 63:3

  • Old Forge, USA

    Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Old Forge.

    Photos from Google Earth

    1. Old Forge, New York, is known as a base camp for the Adirondacks, and has about 360 permanent residents. Winter tourism is a big draw to the community. The second picture above is in a shopping center full of interesting stores. Pray for the woodworker who made the pictured chairs to come to know Christ, that he may have his own chair at the Lamb’s table in heaven.

    2. There are three churches in Old Forge, but the doctrines they espouse do not line up with the gospel. Pray for the Lord to send (and continually open doors and provide for) a church planting team to start a Scripturally sound church in Old Forge.

    3. Another shop in Old Forge is a bookstore that features a lot of cookbooks. Pray for a Christian tourist who will visit Old Forge this year to have and take an opportunity to witness for Jesus to a worker in that bookstore.

    Revelation 22:20

    2. Pray for Christians in Pueblo to be encouraged as they walk with the Lord, and seek to reach their city for Him.

    3. Guayaquil is the port of departure for many cruises to the Galapagos Islands.
