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.

Pray for every cab driver who crosses the intersection of Lexington and Third today to hear the gospel message and respond in faith.
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.
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!

Christian Parents & Their Children Around the World

Deuteronomy 6:7

*(from William Tyndale’s 1526 translation of the Bible into English, available* on biblehub.com)

This verse immediately follows the great and first commandment to love the LORD our God with all that we are, and to keep His words in our hearts. It is very interesting that the word translated diligently in verse seven literally means “to whet, sharpen.” (Later on in the chapter, the word diligently appears again, but this time it’s the Hebrew word meaning “to keep, guard.”) This is a powerful word picture! Parents are to take God’s Word, and whet it against their children’s lives by repeated use. This will cause His Word to become sharp in its effectiveness in their lives. Hebrews 4:12 states that God’s Word is indeed a powerful and sharp sword; it is therefore the greatest endeavor of parenting to sharpen our children’s hearts and lives to be receptive to it. His Word can be applied and discussed at any given time to any given situation, per the rest of verse seven. No human mandate can override this God-given commission.

Pray for Christian parents around the world to love God with all of their hearts and to have His words in their hearts.
Pray for Christian parents to wisely and intentionally whet His words on the lives of their children.
Pray for these children to themselves become / remain wholehearted followers of their God, who will pass His words on to their children.

Deuteronomy 6:4-7

Lago Argentino: South America

Lago Argentino is a glacier fed lake, with some runoff water from the Andes Mountains. The lake’s teal color is from “glacial milk,” mineral sediment suspended in the glacial meltwater. Lago Argentino is Argentina’s largest freshwater lake, and contributes tourism and fishing to the area’s economy.

1. Pray for a visitor to Los Glaciares National Park to see the Creator’s majesty in the views he enjoys, and then recognize the Creator’s right to reign in his own life as well.

2. Many believers around the world have been baptized in lakes or rivers, picturing the salvation that has become the defining moment of their lives. Pray for any Argentine Christians who need to follow the Lord in believer’s baptism to do so.

3. Near Lago Argentino is the town El Calafate, sometimes called by the same name as the lake. Both of the top two World Altitude Gliding Records were set near El Calafate, in 2006 and 2018. Pray for someone living there who has previously heard but not accepted the gospel to do so today, that one day that person may soar even higher than the highest gliding record to live with God in His heaven.
