MaryBeth Hall – Targeted Global Prayer

Ohrid, North Macedonia

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

As the light of a new year dawns, pray for the cross-work of Christ to transform many lives in Ohrid.
According to Wikipedia, Ohrid “once had 365 churches, one for every day of the year, and was known as ‘Jerusalem of the Balkans’.” Pray for Christianity to have genuine authenticity in the lives of adherents, and not just be an outward cultural formality.
Pray for people in Ohrid eating donuts today to taste and see that the Lord is good (Psalm 34:8), and be blessed as they trust in Him.

Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Bobo-Dioulasso.

Pray for this mosque to become a seedbed for the gospel of Jesus Christ, and pray for protection for new believers.
Burkina Faso means “land of honest men.” Pray for this statement to characterize families who walk with Jesus.
Burkina Faso has a high illiteracy rate, but literacy rates are rising. Pray for students learning to read to be enthralled with the greatest Book of all time.

Bissau, Guinea-Bissau

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

Pray for truck drivers of this German based freight company to hear a Christian song on the radio along their route that will stick with them.
Guinea-Bissau is known for its wildlife, including salt-water hippos. Pray for workers at the Orango Islands National Park to recognize the genius of the Designer of the hippos, and want to know Him more.
Bissau is the country’s capital, so pray for its government leaders to exercise integrity today in their decisions, seeking the enablement of the only truly holy and just Lord to do so.

Black Lake, Canada

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Black Lake.

Pray for students at this school to hear an accurate description of the Word, and believe Him by faith.
Black Lake is a Denesuline First Nation band government. Pray for these Native Americans to find identity and acceptance in the Beloved Son.
Pray for Black Lake’s senior aged residents plagued with arthritis this winter to have relief, and to discover the Source of true joy.

Revelation 4:11

This post was originally published on January 15, 2022.

It is estimated that 122.4 million Americans traveled at least 50 miles during the 2025 winter holiday season. Car travel was the main mode of these trips. Many people work in travel related jobs: gas station / truck stop employees, hotel clerks and cleaning staff, fast food employees, car rental agents, airport / airline workers, etc.

Many Christians try to be a witness for the Lord when they are on the road. Because of the in-and-out nature of travel interactions, there is often only time to give out a tract or smile, make direct eye contact, and say a simple sentence like “Jesus loves you!” However, that is still an opportunity for the Holy Spirit to bring Christ to the forefront of someone’s attention. Most people receive multiple witnesses before becoming Christians, and God is easily able to coordinate the efforts of all His children.

1. Pray for all the travel industry workers whom our TGP team members have witnessed to over the Thanksgiving – New Year travel season to once again receive a gospel witness, and obey the Spirit’s continuing convicting work.

2. Pray for 2026 to see an increase in the number of Christians who make an effort to witness when they interact with the public at large.

3. Pray for any travel industry workers who have accepted Jesus this winter season to join and become active in a Biblical church, thereby growing as disciples of Christ.

Mark 16:15

Casey Station, Antarctica

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

Pray that today the Holy Spirit will remind Australian scientists in Casey of any Scripture they have previously heard, and that they will respond to it appropriately.
Near Casey, a giant canyon was just discovered under Vanderford Glacier by scientists taking echo measurements from the ship Nuyina. Pray for this discovery to bring glory to God.
Casey is one of four permanent Australian stations in Antarctica. Summer in Antarctica will end in February, and most people will return home, reducing the total Australian population from 500 to 80. Pray for those nearing the end of their stay to acknowledge the eternal power and divine nature of the Creator, as revealed in nature around them (Rom. 1:20). Pray that general revelation will point them to special revelation (the Bible).

1 Peter 5:7

Antsirabe, Madagascar

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

Pray for the gardener who works at this location to hear about the one true God who planted the first garden.
Antsirabe has hot springs and is a “spa town” (Wikipedia). Pray for God to give resiliency to people at spas today taking a break from the pressures of life.
Pray for the city’s rickshaw drivers to meet the One Who can carry their burdens free of charge.

John 4:23

Tegucigalpa, Honduras

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

The above statue of the resurrected Christ was completed in 1998, and, at night, is visible to 60% of the city’s population. Pray for someone seeing it this evening to come to Jesus, as He invited all to do in Matthew 11:28-30.
Tegucigalpa means “place of residence of the noble,” and is the capital of Honduras. It can also be translated “place on the home of the beloved master.” Pray for 5 people to receive salvation today, that their hearts may become Tegucigalpa.
Pray for the Wonderful Counselor to be glorified this Christmas season.

Luke 1:37

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Cabo San Lucas.

Translated into English, Cabo San Lucas means the “Cape of St. Luke.” “Cape” refers to a geographical promontory, and the town is at the very end of the Baja California part of Mexico. Above is the famous “El Arco.” Pray for tourists this week enjoying the beautiful view to hear about the Rock Who can never be weathered away by either time or opposition.
Pray that this week, someone will teach four preschoolers the song “Jesus te Ama” (“Jesus Loves Me”).
Pray for families who are taking down Christmas lights from their yards today to meet Christians who are little lights reflecting the Light of the World.

2. Viqueque, Timor-Leste: Viqueque has a high rate of childhood malnutrition. There is also a high rate of adult cigarette/alcohol use.
