Lake Vostok is 2.5 miles under Antarctica’s surface, and may contain layers of both fresh and salt water. Russian scientists at Vostok Station drilled for 20 years before reaching the lake in 2012.
1. About 30 Russian scientists live in Vostok Station in Antarctica’s summer, but only 15 during winter months. Pray for a Christian to be in the next group transferring in, and that at least 2 other people will trust Christ during his/her tenure at Vostok Station.
2. It is commonly thought that Lake Vostok has been buried for 14 million years. Pray for a team member in Russia who receives and interprets data regarding the lake to genuinely consider the truth in relation to how the lake’s history is dated. Pray that this consideration will be the first step in turning to the light of truth as revealed in the Word of God.
3. Vostok Lake lies beneath the Pole of Cold, where earth’s coldest naturally occurring temperature was recorded. However, geothermal heating keeps the lake’s water liquid. Pray for Christians around the world who face a spiritually cold climate to themselves remain warm-hearted to the things of God. This can occur because of the Spirit’s work below the surface.
