The Verrazano – Narrows Bridge connects Staten Island to the rest of New York City. Pray for a current driver on the bridge to trust Christ as the only way to the Father.
Fort Wadsworth once served as a strategic defense point for New York City. The area was first fortified by the British while they were in control of New York City during the Revolutionary War. After the war, Americans made it an official fort and a key defense to protecting the city. It wasn’t until 1994, over 200 years later, that the US Navy turned the land over to the US National Park service. Today there are biking /walking trails and incredible views of the harbor available for all to enjoy. Pray for a Christian visiting the fort to establish and maintain effective, Biblical defenses against sin.
Pray for the salvation of Vito John Fossello, Jr., the Staten Island Borough President.
Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of New York City.
In 2024, metro NYC is recorded as having a population of 19.03+ million people (NYC proper reports 8.09+ million residents). The first US census was taken in 1790, and in that and every subsequent census, NYC has ranked first as our most populous city. There are 200 languages spoken there, and people from the Dominican Republic and China make up the two largest foreign-born segments of the population.
There are five boroughs (governmental districts) that comprise the city. Our prayer walk has taken us through Manhattan and Staten Island so far, and we will be walking through the Bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn. We have walked 27 miles, which is 38% of our 71.02 total virtual prayer walk distance.
The photo above was taken above Queens, NYC last night. The lights stretched expansively in a 360° circle, and are even reflected on the plane’s wing.
In light of the opportunity to be in NYC for a couple of hours yesterday, it is a fitting time to thank each of you for your participation in praying for people there. Your involvement in our virtual prayer walk is an investment in eternity. When both a lost person is saved and a Christian grows in his walk with the Lord, it is most often the result of several believers joining with God in His work to reach that individual. We trust that the Lord will use our prayers to the same end for His glory.
So, thank you for praying! Though your feet may never physically walk the streets of New York City, the spiritual shoe leather of your prayers has the potential to leave imprints that will last forever in the souls of people for whom Jesus died. For today’s prayer request, please ask the Lord to save the individuals who received gospel tracts at the airport last night.
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.“
Ephesians 3:17-19
“…that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height – to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.”
God’s agape love is perhaps the attribute that most often draws fallen men to Him, yet is also often misunderstood to be a feel-good “everything and everyone is okay” concept. A key to understanding His love is the word “so” in John 3:16. The Greek definition for “so” is “in this manner/way.”* The way God loves the world is through the gift of His Son. It is not through a general laissez-faire overlooking of sin and one’s opinions regarding how salvation may be obtained. Therefore, an individual who rejects the Biblical gospel has no claim to the love of God.
God’s love continues throughout the believer’s life. Jesus said in John 15:9, “As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love.” Paul prayed that the Ephesians would be rooted (like a plant), grounded (have the foundation of), comprehend (seize tightly) the four dimensions of, and know (personally understand) the love of Christ. And yet, no matter how long a believer has walked with God, His love still “passes knowledge.” May Paul’s prayer find resonance in each of our lives today.
1. Pray for every member of this church to know the love of Christ today, and be filled with all the fullness of God.
2. Minot, North Dakota, is home to an important US Air Force Base. Pray for all the master sergeants and their families to begin or grow in their interaction with and understanding of the love of God.
3. Pray for a single mom in Minot who has memorized John 3:16 but never personally believed in Jesus to do so this week.
* Though “so” is commonly thought of in the sense of “Wow, it’s amazing His love went to this extent,” this is not what John 3:16 is referencing. That is an authentic reaction to God’s love, but other verses better describe that concept. (Thanks to Bill Hall for explaining this word/idea.)

1. Lae is the largest cargo port of Papua New Guinea (wikipedia). Pray for a dock worker at the above location to put his faith for life and eternity in the only Master of the Sea.

The school’s tagline is “Where Tomorrow Starts Today.” ( https://www.unitech.ac.pg/ ) Pray that a student preparing for an IT career will come across a Christian website and be confronted with the gospel. Pray for the Holy Spirit to keep working on his heart until, spiritually speaking, tomorrow really does start today.
