Matthew 9:36-38

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.“

  1. Union Square, NYC: Union Square is the site of an outdoor winter holiday craft market. Pray for one of the vendors to meet and love the Master.
  2. Broadway & Broome St., NYC: Pray for the owner of a mobile hot dog stand to meet a Christian who will introduce him to Jesus.
  3. Your Choice: Please pray for a request you remember from one of the other NYC virtual prayer walk locations this week:

  1. Today our prayer walk brings us to this hot dog stand. Pray for the owner of the mobile cart to meet a Christian who will introduce him to Jesus.
  2. Bicyclists often cross this intersection, along with pedestrians and cars. Pray for a cyclist who will do so today to read the gospel message on a Christian website, and believe.
  3. Not far from our map marker is a Thai Diner. It is estimated that 11,000 people of Thai ethnicity live in New York City. The word “Thai” means “free people.” Pray for churches seeking to reach out to Thais to see spiritual fruit as the Truth sets them free in the greatest way.

  1. Notice the graffiti on the mailbox drop-off container and the white truck. Pray for the people who applied that graffiti to find their significance and place of belonging by being adopted into God’s family.
  2. The map shows that we are close to the Museum of Ice Cream. Pray for a visitor to the museum to meet the God Who gives us richly all things to enjoy, and Whose Word is sweeter than the sweetest treats.
  3. In addition to being a NYC alderman, John Broome was the lieutenant governor of New York in 1804. Broome Street is named for him. The current lieutenant governor of New York is Antonio Delgado, who is of the Reformed Jewish faith. Pray for Mr. Delgado to personally look into the claims of Jesus, and accept His authenticity as the Messiah.

  1. The white building on the left is the Empire State Building, which held the distinction of being the world’s tallest building from 1931-1971. A little known fact is that couples who get married in the Empire State Building on Valentine’s Day gain free lifetime access to the building each year on their anniversary. Pray for a couple planning for their wedding to take place there on 2-14-2025 to make Jesus Christ the foundation of their life together.
  2. Four blocks ahead of our current location on the map is the National Museum of Mathematics. Pray for a museum guide to see some of the many ways in which math illustrates the greatness of our God, and long to know more of Him.
  3. Pray for a pilot who will fly over the pictured view today to be reminded of any gospel witness previously received, and believe.

Our 71 mile virtual prayer walk begins this morning at Lexington and Third. The cross marker indicates our location, and the red line shows our path forward. The Midtown Manhattan route will soon take us past Madison Ave., Fifth Ave., Grand Central Terminal, Little Brazil, Macy’s, and the Empire State Building. To the left on the map are the UN Headquarters, Japan Society, and Freedom Plaza.

  1. Pray for every cab driver who crosses the intersection of Lexington and Third today to hear the gospel message and respond in faith.
  2. Pray that a Christian pedestrian who regularly walks up this block will continue to grow in his relationship with God, and reach out to others to share His truth.
  3. Notice the security officer standing in the lower right hand corner. If he doesn’t know Jesus, pray for that to change this Christmas season.

Virtual Prayer Walk Through New York City Series Introduction

Have you ever walked through your neighborhood, praying for the people who live and work there? TGP is excited to launch a virtual prayer walk through 71 miles of New York City! Here’s the scoop:

Each school day during the opening exercises of our multi-grade classroom, I use a walking pad to combine cardiovascular benefits with teaching. The Conqueror Virtual Challenges offer a way to set goals and log mileage/progress. Because my husband pastors in New York state, the NYC medal caught my attention. Their app provides me with a map and street view of walking through the city, so the plan is to take a screenshot of each day’s location, and use it as the springboard for TGP prayer requests. Each Monday – Friday should see 1-2 miles’ progress on our prayer walk through the city. TGP will continue to post Saturday Morning Recaps and Sunday international requests.

If you know anyone who might be interested in joining the TGP team, please encourage them to sign up! Feel free to direct any questions to targetedglobalprayer@gmail.com.

Let’s hit the streets together! As always, thank you for praying!
