1. Pray for the wounded to recover from both physical and emotional trauma, and meet the One Who will ultimately make everything new.

2. Pray for provision of food for people in bread lines, and for them to learn how the Bread of Life can sustain and nourish their souls.

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

Pray that the owners of this fashion store will seek to have the classy inward fashion of the heart that honors God and loves others.
The city has an old presidential palace with a crocodile filled lagoon. Scientifically, people can hold a crocodile’s mouth shut, but trying to force it’s jaws open is near impossible. Sin is like that; once you get caught, it’s hard to get out. Pray for someone today who is toying around with sin to realize its danger, and look to the Savior for deliverance.
Yamoussoukro is also known for the Basilica of Our Lady of Peace. Pray for many ladies in the city to discover and appropriate the peace of God to the ins and outs of their daily lives.

Thimphu, Bhutan

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

1. Pictured above are white Buddhist prayer flags on a hill overlooking the city. Pray that the Lord will send someone to explain what prayer really is (talking to a personal God, made possible by Jesus’ work) to the person responsible for setting up the flags. Pray for that person to then pray the “sinner’s prayer” in faith, thus beginning a life of Biblical prayer to the Father.

2. The “Gross National Happiness” is a philosophy that guides many of Bhutan’s governmental policies. Pray for a person seeking that elusive condition to find the joy that Jesus offers instead.

3. Thimphu is Bhutan’s capital city, and has 1/7 of the country’s population. Pray for 7 of those 115,000 people to hear about and trust Jesus soon.

Tihuano, Ecuador

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

1. Pictured above is the location of the Waorani tribal headquarters. The Waorani were a fierce people previously known as the Aucas. This was the tribe that killed the five missionaries who first came to bring them the gospel. However, today the gospel has transformed many lives. Pray for evangelism and discipleship to continue to flourish among the Waorani.

2. Nate Saint was the missionary pilot of that group of five. After his death, his sister Rachel moved into the tribe and worked for thirty years to introduce Jesus to the Waorani. His son Steve also lived there for a time, and founded ITEC to help carry out the Great commission among indigenous peoples. While testing a wing for a new aircraft in 2012, he was injured and became partially paralyzed from the neck down. Pray for the Lord to give Steve strength for the difficult daily challenges he faces.

3. Pray for wisdom for the Waorani elders as they lead their people.
