Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Gutu.
Pray for members of the Gutu Rural District Council to make wise decisions for their area based on God’s Truth.
Gutu comes from a word meaning “the one with a load of arrows.” Psalm 127 declares that children are like arrows in the hand of a mighty man. Pray for the Lord to give many children to Christian families in Gutu, who will be arrows for His kingdom.
Pray for third shift workers to have a moment during the night to ponder any Scripture they have heard, and seek to know more about the God of the Bible.

1. This cross is on the grounds of Camp Rain, a Christian summer camp near Decherd, Tennessee. This week, the camp is hosting an intensive CEF training camp for Christian Youth in Action volunteers from across the state. Beginning next week, these young people will be leading 5-day clubs throughout the state: teaching Bible and missionary stories, memory verses, and songs in community centers, churches, and backyards. Praise God for every young person across our nation willing to step up to the plate to make a difference for His kingdom, and pray for His hand to always be on their lives. Pray for there to be a bountiful spiritual harvest in the lives of the children they will be presenting God’s Word to this summer.
2. Pray for physical stamina for all the leaders and campers as they finish out the week.

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Cusco.
1. This statue honors the most famous Incan leader/martyr in the Great Andean Revolt of 1780-1783. It is located in a plaza where handicrafts are sold on the weekends. Pray that three teenagers inspired by Jose Gabriel Tupac Amaru’s story will also hear about the Rider who will one day mount a white horse to victoriously lead heaven’s armies (Rev. 19:11-16). Pray that those youth will give their adoring allegiance to this Lord of Lords.
2. Pray for an artisan preparing items to sell this weekend to accept Jesus and thus become one of the Father’s own workmanship pieces (Eph. 2:10).
3. Pray for someone eating pesto in Cusco to realize that it is the God of the Bible Who has invented enjoyable food flavors, and to express gratitude to Him for all His gifts.

1. This corner was one of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s favorite spots in her home. She called it the “living picture windows,” because the scenery outside was always changing. Her husband Almanzo built the center table from a cypress tree. There are more than 30,000 visitors annually to the Wilders’ farm in Mansfield, Missouri. Pray that one of today’s guests will see something that the Holy Spirit uses to draw him/her to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
2. Laura made the following statement, which is posted in the museum: “The responsibility for starting the child on the right way is the parents – it cannot be delegated to the schools or the state, for the little feet start on life’s journey from the home.” Pray for parents across our land to wholeheartedly embrace and act on this truth.
3. Laura also said, “The Little House books are stories of long ago. Today our way of living and our schools are much different; so many things have made living and learning easier. But the real things haven’t changed. It is still best to be honest and truthful, to make the most of what we have, to be happy with simple pleasures, and have courage when things go wrong…” Pray for Christians in 2023 to let God make these “real things” characteristic of their lives.
Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Bangui.
The above picture is a wall mural in a classroom where parents and young children are gathered. Pray for those family members to accept and reflect the love of Jesus in their relationships with each other.
Bangui is the capital of the Central African Republic, with a population of around 1,000,000. As the city grows, pray for new churches to be established, that Biblical discipleship may occur.
Sango and French are the country’s official languages. Pray for copies of the Word of God in these languages to be readily available to those in Bangui who seek the Truth.

Pray for someone who will be under this outdoor pavilion today to receive salvation, that the Lord may be his eternal pavilion.
In the New Testament, Saul was delivered from a life of angry perfectionism when he met Jesus. Pray for someone in the village of Saul to likewise be transformed by the power of Christ.
Pray for the Scripture to be readily available to anyone in Saul who wants to know God.

The village of London has about 2,000 residents. Pray for the gospel to be proclaimed there.
Copra cutting is the process of cutting dried coconut kernels, which are then exported and made into coconut oil. Pray for people doing this job today to consider their standing with the One Who gives them the ability to work, and makes the coconut kernels grow.
The beach house above has a beautiful view of the Pacific Ocean. Pray for the individuals who live there to each obtain a home in the City that has the best view of eternity.
