Calabar, Nigeria

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

1. Pictured above is a memorial statue in the middle of the Mary Slessor Roundabout. This Christian missionary (1848-1915) did much to help the people of Nigeria, including working tirelessly to stop the practice of killing twin babies, whom nationals believed would bring bad luck. Pray for every current set of twins in Calabar to receive a clear presentation of the gospel, and put personal faith in Jesus Christ.

2. Although Mary Slessor was famous, when she made desperate pleas for Christians in Scotland to come help in the work, most of the time there was no response. Sadly, this is often the case today around the world. Pray that in 2023, many Christians will hear and heed the call of God.

3. Calabar has a very strong tourism industry. Pray for an artisan who makes traditional handcrafted items to sell as souvenirs to also realize that the God of the Bible is the Master Craftsman who has made people in His own image. Pray for that artisan to know and walk with the Lord as one of His redeemed workmanship pieces.

Psalm 96:2

La Villa de los Santos, Panama

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of La Villa de los Santos.

In English, today’s city name means “the town of the saints.” Biblically, every Christian is a saint. Pray for there to be many saints in La Villa de los Santos who walk with the Lord and reflect His holiness.
Pray for the Lord to interject Himself into the thoughts of everyone who uses the above gazebo today, and that each person will obey His leading.
Interestingly, 3400 miles directly northwest of the Panama town, there is a restaurant in Phoenix, Arizona, named Via Delosantos (Way of the Saints). Pray for a Christian to eat there today and shine the light of Christ when he goes that way, that a restaurant server may be saved.

Grace Bay, Turks and Caicos Islands

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Grace Bay.

The “Grand Canyon of the Caribbean” is a 7,000 ft. deep drop-off that attracts divers from around the world. Pray for many of those divers to personally experience the truth of Micah 7:19.

1. Pray for a Christian to start a Bible study for people who live in these apartments, and for many to accept and grow in Christ.

2. Directly behind the photographer’s view of the above picture is a covered area with colorful hand painted rocks and nice water fountains. Pray for the people who painted the rocks to come to know the Rock of Ages, receiving living water from Him forevermore.

3. Special Request Update: On March 25, we prayed for Michael the Walmart worker’s salvation. Today a TGP team member “chanced” to come in contact with him again. He remembered the prayers from before, and said things were going better. A simple gospel tract was left for him shortly thereafter. Pray that Michael will take the time to look up the verses on the paper, and give his life to Jesus.

Special Request

This evening, Ron Hamilton, aka Patch the Pirate, went home to be with the Lord. With full and glorious sight, he now and forevermore beholds the face of Jesus. The songs and adventures Patch the Pirate leaves behind will continue to stir our hearts to faithfully love and serve our great God.

Please pray for Ron’s family during this time, that they will continually know the Father’s sustaining care. “Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints.” (Psalm 116:15)
