MaryBeth Hall – Page 33 – Targeted Global Prayer

One of Our Own

“Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” Galatians 6:2

TGP is a group of believers who love Jesus, care about people, and are doing something where those two facts intersect. We are small in number, but our vision is eternally grand, because it is the echo of the Father’s heart: that Jesus would be known to the peoples of the world, one individual at a time.

Today we put down our global binoculars to link arms in prayer for one of our own. This individual was one of the very earliest to sign up for TGP, and has faithfully prayed day in and day out. Now in the midst of a life-altering medical event, she needs our prayer. Three times in the past 24 hours, she has quoted lines from the song, “Each step I take, the Savior goes before me…” And He does, as He will.

Please use your TGP prayer minute today for the following requests:

1. That no matter what happens medically, she will always continue to be aware of His Presence.

2. That, if the Father wills, her recovery would far surpass the current prognosis.

3. That every family member and physician would exhibit wisdom from above in decisions to be made.

Thank you for praying!

Perth, Australia

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

These arches are right by a sign for the Western Australian Museum. Unfortunately, displays there tend to promote an evolutionary worldview. Pray for a student visiting the museum today to also be exposed to the facts of the Genesis account of origins.

Pray for someone visiting there today to come to the Rock of Ages and find eternal perspective and peace in Him.

2. Mozart’s Geburtshaus is the place of his 1756 birth, where his family lived on the third floor of the building. Today it is a museum. Pray that the most ardent Mozart fan in the world would come to know the greatest music a soul can join, the echo of Revelation 4:10-11.

3. Volksgarten (middle right side) is a park, and Nord Sam (top left corner) is a campground. Pray that a family enjoying each of these places will see God’s fingerprints in the beauty of His creation, and search / believe His Word for life’s answers.

Makhachkala, Dagestan

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

2. Pray for children of all ethnicities in Makhachkala to know the Light of the World – Jesus.
