MaryBeth Hall – Targeted Global Prayer

Klenovica, Croatia

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

1. At first glance, there seems to be nothing special about the picture above – it’s just an average view from an intersection of apartment buildings in the distance. But because of the God Who can see through walls, this picture represents everything going on in the lives and souls of the people who live in these dwelling places. Pray for the people themselves to become aware of God’s care, by meeting and then abiding in the Son Whom He sent for them.

2. Klenovica is a quiet fishing village on the Adriatic Sea, and draws vacationers to its beaches. It has been around for at least 638 years (the first historical mention of it occurred in 1388). A basic internet search does not reveal any evangelical churches in Klenovica. Pray for the Lord to send someone to start a church there, and raise up for Himself many followers.

3. Pray for a person who has a Bible but has never read it to be drawn by the Holy Spirit to pick it up and begin reading it today. Pray for the Spirit to then illuminate that individual’s understanding of the gospel, and for saving faith to be the result.

Romans 10:13

Trinidad, Bolivia

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

1. The pictured building is a social club named the “18th of November.” That date is important in Bolivian history because of an 1841 victory against Peru that solidified Bolivia’s sovereignty as a nation. Pray for a member of the club to personally experience the truth of John 8:36: “Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.”

2. Notice the Coca-Cola emblems that flank the club name on the building. Since WW2, Coca-Cola has successfully spread throughout the world, and is the second most understood term in the world (the first being the word “okay”). The company’s goal is that their product will be “within arm’s reach of desire” to everyone. North Korea and Cuba are the only countries that do not sell Coca-Cola, although it is still smuggled in secretly. Interestingly (since we are praying for a Bolivian city today), in 2012 Bolivia’s foreign minister tried to ban Coca-Cola as an effort to stop Western influence, but was unsuccessful. Like the Coca-Cola company, Christians have a global mission. It is worth taking the time to look up Paul’s words in Acts 17:27, and note how they compare to Coca-Cola’s stated goal. It is sad that more people in the world know about Coca-Cola than know about Jesus Christ. Pray for this to change, and for the gospel to permeate even restricted areas.

3. Trinidad is the Spanish word for “Trinity.” Pray for Christians in the city to have a clear understanding of the Bible’s teaching on the Trinity.

Romans 10:13

Munich, Germany

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

1. Pray for a driver using this roundabout today who feels like life is spent running in circles to hear about the peace of God, and make his peace with God.

2. Not far from the above location is Deutsch Museum. It holds the impressive status of being the world’s largest science and technology museum. Over 50 fields of science are represented by 28,000 objects. Pray for a Christian student visiting the museum to use the Scriptures as a filter before believing everything he sees.

3. Pray for a candymaker in Munich to cherish the Book that is sweeter than all his confections.

Assamakka, Niger

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

Assamakka is a small desert town in the north of Niger, and the only official crossing point between the two countries of Niger and Algeria (wikipedia). Pray for someone making that border crossing today to also make the border crossing from being under the domain of sin into the Son’s kingdom of light.
The temperature today in Assamakka will reach 89°. Pray for 89 people there to hear the message of the gospel before the end of the year.
Pray for a camel owner in Assamakka to hear one of the stories in the Bible that mentions camels, and be intrigued to find out more about the God of the Bible.

John 17:17

This post was originally published on March 14, 2022. Today’s high temperature is 77°. In deciding what location to repost today, Assamakka stood out because of our prayers for Kevin Rideout. His last known location (obtained from his cell phone data an hour after he was kidnapped) was about 53 miles north of Niamey (Niger’s capital). Assamakka is northeast of that location, and only God knows if he has been there in the last three months. Hebrews 13:3 tells us not to forget those who are suffering for Christ. We must continue to pray for the entire situation.
