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 2023 approaches, many salvation decisions will be made.

3. Pray for the Scripture to be widely available and read by many islanders.

Psalm 63:3
