Quang Ngai, Vietnam

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Quang Ngai.

1. Pray that every motorcyclist who crosses this intersection today will have an opportunity to hear the gospel before the end of the year.

2. Not far off the coast of Quang Ngai is the island of Ly Son, used long ago by the Cham people as a stopping off point in their shipping industry. Fresh water could be drawn for ships from the Xo La well, which is still in use today. Pray that the manager of that well will meet the Savior Who visited Jacob’s well long ago to save a Samaritan woman.

Dassa-Zoume, Benin

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Dassa-Zoume.

1. Beninese nationals consider Dassa-Zoume to be “the nerve center of occultism” (imdb.com). Pray for someone actively working to promote that dark bondage to be gloriously saved and enter God’s kingdom of truth and light.

2. Pray for the photographer and the two people in the picture to hear about Jesus today, and ask Him to be their Lord and Savior.

3. Dassa’s claim to fame is a cave where an image of Mary is said to have appeared in 1954, and is now a destination for a Catholic pilgrimage honoring her. Pray for someone caught up in seeking a tangible religious experience not to neglect the convicting work of the Holy Spirit in his soul to depend on Christ’s merit alone for right standing before God.

Pray for workers in this factory to have an opportunity to accept the gospel in 2022.
Reynosa has a reputation of being a high-crime border town. Pray for the Lord to give local leaders wisdom to solve some of the issues, and, most importantly, that hearts would be changed through salvation.
There are several non-government organizations offering assistance for migrant families in Reynosa. Pray for protection for their workers, and, if any of them are Biblically based, that the Lord would especially bless their efforts.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/12/europe/greece-wildfires-evacuation-athens-intl/index.html (picture and info source)

1. Varnavas is a town north of Athens where wildfires began yesterday. Due to difficult terrain, winds, and drought, sustained efforts by 670 firefighters and 32 water-bombing aerial units have been unable to contain the blaze. Pray for many of these firefighters to find rescue in Jesus, that they may escape the eternal fires of hell.

2. Today the fire is spreading toward Penteli, a town 10 miles northeast of Athens. Pray for residents who have evacuated their homes and two hospitals to know the peace available only from God.

World News Today

In an avalanche of volatile world events, everyday there are breaking news stories which represent multitudes of human lives affected and in need of prayer. Today, three of those are TGP’s focus:

Japan’s megaquake advisory: As a result of last Thursday’s 7.1 earthquake, conditions in the undersea Nankai Trough could produce a 9.1 magnitude megaquake and tsunami. Japanese citizens have been advised to prepare as best they can, as especially the next week is a time of concern. Pray for everyone facing anxiety over the unknown future to hear the gospel and how to find stability in the unchanging Lord of all.
Major protests in Serbia against lithium mining occurred yesterday. Pray for an individual caught up in the political fervor to discover and choose the best Cause to live for – the kingdom of our God and of His Christ.
Pray for the many families of people who died in a plane crash in Brazil on Friday, including eight cancer doctors.

Luke 1:37

Saturday Morning Recap

2 Corinthians 4:3-4

“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost, in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, Who is the image of God, should shine unto them.“

It is estimated that 3.2 billion people have never heard the name Jesus. ( https://abwe.org/blog/prayer-focus/ ). Imagine the implications of that fact, for both this life and eternity. Jesus said “the field is the world,” and also to pray that the Lord of the harvest would thrust out labourers into His field (Matt. 13:38, 9:36-38).
Chattogram, Bangladesh: As of 2022, Christianity comprises only one third of one percent of the nation’s population. Pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ who make up this tiny percent to be steadfast in their faith, and have opportunities for continuing discipleship and fellowship with other believers.
