  1. The map marker / photo above is pointed toward the triangular shaped Rheba Liebowitz Square. New York City has fifty-four squares named after individuals. Some of these people are well known historical figures, such as John Jay (the first US Supreme Court Justice who also negotiated a treaty with Great Britain in 1794 to avoid war). Others are relatively unknown, even by Google, but yet they made a contribution that city residents deemed was significant enough to memorialize. Such is the case with Rheba Liebowitz. It seems she was Polish Jew (1916-1964) who was a community activist, but that is all that can be surmised from a Google search of her life. Likewise, many ordinary citizens are working to make a difference in their families and communities today. Pray that the Lord will bless the efforts of those who are working to promote His kingdom, even if little is known about them by the public in general. Jesus said that one day the Father Who sees what is done in secret will reward His children openly.
  2. Pray for a firefighter who works in the above area to personally accept the offer of rescue that Jesus has made to escape the worst fire of eternity.
  3. Pray for any Christian kids who frequent the Henry Jackson Playground to have people in their lives who will help them grow in their walk with the Lord.

Barcelona, Spain

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

1. Pictured above is “The Call,” literally meaning “Narrow Street.” It was the place where the Jewish community of medieval Barcelona lived, and was able to maintain their traditions. There are currently about 3,500 Jewish residents in Barcelona, the most living in any of Spain’s cities. Pray for one of those 3,500 to receive Jesus as his/her personal Messiah today.

2. Pray that a soccer player in the Barcelona Football Club will meet a Christian who explains what’s even better than scoring a winning goal: receiving God’s free gift of eternal life through Christ.

3. Pray that Christians across Barcelona will grow in their faith as they spend time in church today.

  1. Although it’s not possible to see in the above screenshot, a 360° view of this intersection shows that at the time the photo was taken there were twelve pedestrians. Pray for those twelve people, wherever they are today, that the Lord will interject Himself into their lives and keep working in their hearts until they trust Him as Savior.
  2. Translated into English, the center rectangular business sign above reads “New Century Flower Shop.” Pray for an unsaved lady who will receive flowers from that shop today, that she will also soon be introduced to the One Who made all things, and cares about her deeply.
  3. To the north of Chinatown is Little Italy. The path of our prayer walk won’t intersect with Little Italy, but our third prayer request today is that an Italian living there will come to know the Father Who loved the world in such a way as to send His only begotten Son.

New York City has the highest Chinese population of any city outside of Asia, with around 630,000 Chinese residents in NYC proper, and 895,000 in the metro area. There are several different Chinatowns in NYC, the oldest being in Manhattan.

  1. The pictured business is the Fu Shou Tombstone Company. Pray for a worker there to receive and read a copy of the Bible in his language, and come to know the Resurrection and the Life.
  2. A Google search reveals several Baptist churches in Chinatown. As they are true to His Word, pray for the Lord to bless their worship, fellowship, evangelism, and discipleship efforts.
  3. Pray for the next Chinese baby who will be born in New York City to one day become a Christian, and be faithful to love and serve God wholeheartedly.

The Brooklyn Bridge Promenade extends the entire length of the Brooklyn Bridge. The iron railings of the promenade were cast by the same foundry that had previously made the iron dome for the US Capitol building in Washington, DC. It is estimated that 32,000 pedestrians cross the bridge daily. Walking briskly, it can be crossed in about 30 minutes.

  1. Pray for today’s 27,341st and 27,342nd pedestrians on the Brooklyn Bridge Promenade, that they will realize their significance to Almighty God, hear His plan of redemption, and believe on Jesus.
  2. Pray for a Bible preaching church in Brooklyn to plan an outreach to the pedestrians on the Brooklyn Bridge Promenade, and for it to be successful spiritually.
  3. On the ground to the right of our map marker is a carousel. Pray for the next family enjoying that attraction to receive and grow in Christ, that their family may mirror His blueprint.

Court St. & Butler St., NYC

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

  1. Pray for the owner of this Vespa scooter to come to the place in his spiritual life where he will not just drive a golden colored vehicle, but one day walk on streets of gold.
  2. The scooter is parked right in front of Kathleen Cullen Fine Arts, a contemporary art shop. Pray for Kathleen to recognize the beauty of the artwork of the Ancient of Days, and yield to Him in all areas.
  3. All along the sidewalk on Court Street are places to park / secure bicycles. Pray for a Christian cyclist who has never yet been baptized to take that step of obedience.

  1. Jinping, China: Hundreds of people had to be evacuated from their homes in the village of Jinping due to a landslide last Saturday.
