Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of New York City.

1. Continuing south in Upper Bay, today puts us in proximity of the American Veterans Memorial Pier. This is a popular fishing spot, and the Statue of Liberty can be seen on the horizon looking north (in a straight line from the pier’s end). Pray for a veteran who will enjoy fishing at the AVMP to himself be caught by the Great Fisherman.
2. The ninety-seven year old Holland Tunnel connects Lower Manhattan to Jersey City (NJ) under the Hudson River, which is at the top of Upper Bay. Our current map location is not near this vehicular tunnel, but Google maps stated this morning that there were car crashes in the Holland Tunnel. Pray for everyone involved to have minimal injuries, and for the Lord to use this in their lives (as He can any event) to draw them closer to Him.
3. Pray for a Christian who has visited and enjoyed the Narrows Botanical Gardens (south of the pier) to abide in the Master Gardener today.

2 Corinthians 4:6

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of New Jersey.

1. As we continue to travel south in the Upper Bay, today’s stopping point puts us just over the New Jersey boundary waterline, in proximity to the Tear Drop Memorial. This gift from Russia commemorates the world’s struggle against terrorism and our nation’s sorrow over lives lost on both 9/11 and the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Pray for the families of those who died to find hope in their grief through the Resurrection and the Life.
2. Speaking of Russia, the monument originally was inscribed as being from Russia’s president and people, but currently all words pertaining to its president have been covered. Pray for Russian citizens who have lost loved ones under the current tyrannical regime to have a chance to hear the gospel, that they may find hope for the soul as well.
3. Continue to pray for a barge worker in the Upper Bay to trust Jesus as his personal Savior.

2 Corinthians 4:6

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of New York City.

1. We have left Manhattan Island, and our current location is in the Upper Bay as we travel toward Staten Island. The Upper Bay’s channels have been cut deeper to allow larger cargo ships to reach the Port of New York and New Jersey, which is the East Coast’s largest container port. Pray for a barge worker there to receive Christ as his personal Savior.
2. The oval shaped island directly to the left of our map marker is Liberty Island, where the Statue of Liberty sits. More than 12 million immigrants passed by the Statue of Liberty via steamship on their way to the Ellis Island station for processing into the US between 1892-1954. The station is currently a museum. Pray for a visitor to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island Museum to gain the immeasurably valuable spiritual freedom that Jesus promised the truth brings (John 8:32).
3. To the right of our map marker is the Governor’s Island Picnic Point. Pray for a Christian enjoying physical relaxation at that spot to also daily find rest for the soul by abiding in the Savior.

2 Corinthians 4:6

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of New York City.

1. Our prayer walk today stops at the Woolworth Building, which was the world’s tallest building from 1913-1929. Today, the top thirty floors are residential, and the lower twenty-eight floors office / commercial. Notice the sign at the lobby attendant’s station: “ALL TENANTS Must Use Access Cards to Enter or Leave Building…” Pray that, this month,  one of those tenants will gain the spiritual access card described by Jesus in John 10:9.
2. Pray for the lobby attendant in the picture to call on the name of the Lord and be saved.
3. American Technology Services (see the right block corner of the map) employs between 501-1,000 people. Pray for a Christian among those employees to make a difference for the kingdom of God among his coworkers.

2 Corinthians 4:6

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:

W. Broadway & Broome St

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.

Matthew 9:36-38

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of New York City.

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.

2. Pray for the two people in the foreground, that wherever they are today, the Lord will interject Himself into their thoughts, and they will respond to Him in faith and obedience.
3. Pray for a Christian working in one of the background buildings to be filled with the Spirit today, and mightily manifest His fruit.

Matthew 9:36-38

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of New York City.

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.
