Quarterly Prayer List for the Lost

In January of 2025, TGP began facilitating a new way to increase prayer for specific lost individuals. A monthly email was sent to any team members who asked to receive it. The list contained first names of people whom team members had previously reached out to with the gospel. This PDF file could then be printed and placed in a visible location (inside a kitchen cabinet, for example), so that whenever the paper was seen, a name or two could be prayed for. Updates and additional names could be submitted anytime to be included in the next monthly list.

Many of the people on our list have been on the hearts of team members for years. Faithful prayer over the long haul is important. Because of this, in September TGP changed the frequency of how often the salvation list is sent to be once a quarter.

December 20 is when any team members who want to receive the quarterly email will get it. If you want to get it, simply reply to this email with your name/email address and the first names of lost individuals that you would like to add for prayer. (Those who have previously gotten the monthly lists do not need to reply, and any names you submitted will remain on the list.)

Please send any questions to targetedglobalprayer@gmail.com

Thank you for considering this opportunity!

John 8:12

Current World Events

Concerns:

1. Mass shooting yesterday in Australia against a Hanukkah celebration:

Hanukkah is the festival of lights. Pray for a Jewish family who was at Bondi Beach during the shooting to put saving faith in the Light of the World that cannot be overcome by darkness (John 1:4-5, 8:12).

2. Megaquake alert in Japan:

Because of continuing off-shore seismic activity, concerns regarding a potential megaquake are very real. Pray for the salvation of a seismologist working for the Japan Meteorological Agency.

3. Because we prayed before:

Last winter, TGP hosted a virtual prayer walk through 71 miles of New York City. Currently, Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is preparing to take office on January 1, 2026. Many of his policies and plans run counter to traditional American and Christian values. Pray for Christians in NYC to remember the prayer of Acts 4:29, and likewise receive boldness to continue speaking the Word of God (v. 31).

Praises:

1. Many attended Saturday’s Christmas party for inner city children in Boston, Massachusetts. There were a few professions of faith in Christ!

2. Despite challenges, churches around the world continue to proclaim the gospel this Christmas season.

3. God is always on His throne! (Psalm 2)

John 8:12

Saturday Morning Recap

Psalm 47:2

“For the Lord Most High is awesome;
He is a great King over all the earth.”

1. Kevin Rideout: Pray for the release of this American missionary pilot who was kidnapped in Niger on October 21. Although no updates are currently available, God knows every detail of the situation. Pray for the Lord to meet Kevin’s needs today.

2. Boston Christmas Party for Inner City Children: This event is today! Pray for many people to come to know Christ through this evangelistic outreach.

3. Your Choice: Please pray for a request you remember from the other locations featured this week:

Shibuya Crossing (Tokyo, Japan): Virtual Prayer Walk Completion!

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

1. Our prayer walk reaches its conclusion at the world’s busiest intersection. Over 2.4 million pedestrians use this intersection daily! Each light change can see up to 3,000 people crossing the streets. Pray for an architect and an airline pilot who have used this major crossing to come to know and walk with the One who made the skies and has the best blueprint for living.

2. Japan continues to be under the megaquake alert status. Continue to pray for the Lord to keep convicting the hearts of those who have heard the gospel before and rejected it.

3. For our last Tokyo virtual prayer walk request, please note the pictures below, and join Jesus in the prayer He prayed for lost multitudes: “But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, ‘The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.’” (Matthew 9:36-38)

Psalm 47:2

Intersection of Rte. 413 and Kitasaka (Tokyo, Japan)

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

1. The pictured business on the corner of today’s major intersection stop has the following words printed on the glass of both stories: “Going Beyond the Ordinary.” Pray that an employee there will go beyond the ordinary human way of living, and respond in faith to the Spirit’s pull toward the extraordinary possibility of a dynamic personal relationship with the one true God.

2. Near our location is the Carpe Diem Jiu-Jitsu School. Carpe Diem is Latin for “seize the day.” Pray for a student there who is anxious about the possibility of an impending megaquake (see yesterday’s post) to seize this current day of life to its fullest by trusting Jesus, and thus preparing for eternity.

3. Jesus’ post-resurrection seaside conversation with Peter could be summarized this way: “Don’t worry about your past, don’t worry about your future, don’t worry about other people; follow Me.” (John 21) Pray for all Christians who pass through the intersection of Route 413 and Kitasaka today to live out these instructions as well.

Psalm 47:2

Intersection of Rte. 305 & Rte. 413 (Tokyo, Japan)

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

1. Monday evening (morning in the USA) a 7.5 magnitude earthquake hit northern Japan, with 51 reported injuries. For people in the vicinity of an earthquake that strong, it is impossible to stand upright because of the intense shaking. The earthquake occurred about 400 miles from Tokyo. but was strongly felt in Tokyo. Pray for those who were injured to find ultimate refuge in the God of Psalm 46, Who is infinitely more stable than the shifting earth over which humans have no control.

2. Currently, Japanese authorities have issued a high level megaquake warning, urging people along Japan’s 800 mile long Pacific coast to prepare evacuation plans should the need arise. Because of the catastrophic damage that would happen if such a megaquake / resulting tsunami occurred, this is the highest alert level possible, and remains in place for at least a week. The center-of-picture vending machine is in an underground subway stop. Pray for someone who will soon be purchasing food from this machine, and is very worried about the safety of even using the subway system, to hear the gospel, believe, and know God’s peace.

3. Pray for unbelieving relatives of Christians in Tokyo who have heard the gospel before from their relatives, and have rejected it, to have the truth brought to their minds again today by the Holy Spirit, and this time, to believe. We are praying for people who could be on the very brink of their eternity.

Psalm 47:2

Route 305 (Tokyo, Japan)

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

1. Faith Dental Salon is located on the third floor of the center building. Pray for a dental hygienist working there to hear the gospel and believe, thus beginning a life of faith that will outlast the world itself.

2. Jesus said that the Father seeks people who will worship Him in spirit and in truth (John 4:23). Nicodemus demonstrated those qualities when he purchased an extremely large amount of myrhh and aloes for Jesus’ burial (far above the normal poundage used in burials). It is estimated that the cost of those spices was around 80+ years’ worth of wages, thereby demonstrating overwhelming honor to the Savior. Pray for Christians in Tokyo and around the world to love Jesus with that wholehearted kind of devotion today and every day.

3. To get a driver’s license in Japan, a person must be eighteen years old. Pray for a student driver in Tokyo who will be driving this month for the first time on the very busy Route 305 to enter a relationship with the Lord that makes the realization of such promises as Psalm 121:8 possible.

Psalm 47:2

Belmopan, Belize

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

Pray for workers in the red and white buildings to hear how to communicate with the God Who made them.
Belmopan is the capital of Belize, the country with the smallest population of any of the countries of the Americas (about 422,000 people total in 2025). Belmopan’s motto is “City of Promise.” Pray for many residents there to lay hold of the promises of God.
Close to Belmopan are Central America’s tallest waterfalls. Pray for vacationers enjoying those to give glory and appreciation to the Creator.
