Macapa, Brazil

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

Macapa is located on the bank of the Amazon River, ninety-three miles from where it empties into the Atlantic Ocean on Brazil’s northern coastline. The picture above features a statue of three women doing laundry at the river’s edge. The Amazon River is in the middle background of the picture, with the distant shoreline at the far background. Pray for any woman doing laundry today in Macapa to have the opportunity to have her heart cleansed whiter than any fabric could ever be.
Macapa has about 487,000 residents, and the equator runs through the city. Because of this, it has been nicknamed “The Capital of the Middle of the World.” Pray for someone who will cross the equatorial line today to also cross over the line from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of God’s dear Son.
There are a few roads out of Macapa, but most travel to other Brazilian cities is by air or sea. A bridge opened in 2017 that connects Macapa to the country of French Guiana, which is the first road from the country of Brazil as a whole into French Guiana. Pray for the engineer who designed this bridge to meet the Engineer Who not only designed, but Himself is the sole Bridge from mankind to God.

Pray for the person who designed the sign to realize that, although we do need money, our greatest need and source of joy is Jesus Christ.
Pray for the Lord to protect new believers in Chitre from the influence of false teachers.

From the same news source as the picture is this morning’s update on Kurakhove:

“Set on Ukraine’s eastern front, Kurakhove is surrounded on three sides, with Russian forces just under 2 miles (3 kilometers) from the devastated city center.

Yet between 700 and 1,000 local residents remain, most of them living in the basements of apartment buildings, without running water, heating or electricity. The only place to charge phones is in the basement of the building now housing the city administration.

The exact number of people is impossible to determine because, since mid-October, no humanitarian volunteers have come to Kurakhove.”

Pray for the Lord too meet the spiritual needs of those 700 – 1,000 residents this morning. With the impending Russian takeover, they are in a terrifying situation. Pray for the Holy Spirit to fill any Christians among the residents with a powerful sense of His presence and peace, that they may minister to those around them, and that many unsaved people will believe the gospel.
Pray for the Lord to protect innocent lives in Kurakhove, and provide continued food, water, shelter, and communication with loved ones.
Pray for the salvation of three Russian soldiers who are advancing on the city.
