Narva, Estonia

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

Pray for children who will enjoy these mall stationary vehicle rides this weekend to hear that Jesus loves them.
Narva is a border city between Estonia and Russia. Pray for the tense political situation, as well as Ukrainian refugees in the city. Speaking of them, Katri Raik, Narva’s mayor says, “They have been through hell. It is like the light has gone out of their eyes.” (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-61555691) Pray for God to turn the light back on with His hope.
Pray for a carpenter in Narva to meet the Master Carpenter Who can frame lives in the very best way.

John 14:6

Youth on Target with God’s Mission

Today I spent several hours helping my teenage son in one of the preparation phases for the summer ministry in which he will be participating. That gave me the idea to do a special TGP post requesting prayer for youth across our nation that are dedicating a portion of their summer break to making a difference for the kingdom of God. Let us join in prayer this evening for the Lord to bless them and protect them and make their ministries fruitful for eternity. May He open doors of evangelistic and discipleship opportunities, and use their experiences this summer as a catalyst for further work in His harvestfield around the world. May the good hand of our God be on the children and teens who love Him and are willing to step out in their communities for Him. Numbers 6:24-26.

Debrecen, Hungary

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

Pray for the person who maintains the row of yellow irises that lines this street to one day walk on the heavenly street made of gold.
Historically, much Reformed theological discussion has occurred in Debrecen. Pray for someone there today to make sure he has a personal relationship with God, not just an outward assent to the value of religion.
There is a printing press in Debrecen which has been operating since 1561 (britannica.com). Pray that any copies of Scripture printed on it will continue to circulate / change lives.

Colossians 1:16-18

Pray for a Christian teenager in Juanillo who wants to honor the Lord to never lose that desire.

Galatians 6:9-10

Galindez Island, Antarctica

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Galindez Island.

Galindez Island has areas claimed by three countries. The Vernadsky Research Base is Ukraine’s only Antarctic holding. Pray for Jesus to meet the needs of the twelve people living there whose hearts must be worried about what is going on in their home country.
Named after an imaginary character in A.A. Milne’s Winnie the Pooh, Woozle Hill can be approached from any direction, so encircling footprints are often seen there. Pray for someone on Galindez Island who feels like his life is just going in circles to seek Christ’s help in getting where he needs to be.
Galindez Island is part of the Argentine Islands, Wilhelm Archipelago. Pray for the salvation of the next Argentine naval officer to go to Galindez Island.

Galatians 6:9-10

Arue, French Polynesia

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

Pictured above is the tomb of King Pomare V. Google Earth states that it is “temporarily closed.” Although they are referring to the on-site museum, that statement is also true for the people in all graves worldwide (John 5:28-29). Pray that many people in Arue will make preparations now for their future eternal destiny.
Pray for a Christian in Arue who is being tempted by the pull of materialism to remember the lasting satisfaction he already possesses in Christ.
Pray for an athlete competing in the Arue Stadium to press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:14).

Galatians 6:9-10

There is no new city featured today on TGP. Please take a minute to pray for any three prayer requests you remember from previous posts. Thank you!

Luke 24:8

Kaunas, Lithuania

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

Saules Gimnazija is a Catholic high school which opened 99 years ago. Pray for a student there who is wrestling with life’s basic questions to talk to a Christian who will explain the Bible’s answers.
Kaunas Castle was built in the 1300’s, and 1/3 of it stands today as a restored museum. In 2018, a 23 foot tall Freedom Warrior (taken from Lithuania’s coat of arms) was erected nearby. (Interestingly, the Freedom Warrior was cast in Ukraine.) Pray for every person who was associated with the construction of the Freedom Warrior to have an opportunity to hear about true spiritual freedom (John 8:32) this year.
Kaunas is located where the Neris and Nemunas rivers join. Pray for someone working by one of the rivers today to thirst for the living God, and hear how to receive rivers of living water (John 7:37-38).

Luke 24:8

Kaunas was also the featured TGP city on August 21, 2021.

On March 1 and March 24, TGP members prayed for Mariupol residents. The situation continues to degrade, with many describing conditions as “hell on earth.” Pray for many, many residents trapped in the city to receive God’s salvation, so that, no matter what happens, they never go to the real hell.
The Azovstal Steelworks is Mariupol’s last big stronghold of resistance. Pray for the Lord to miraculously provide safety, sanitation, food/water, and spiritual/emotional healing for those inside.
Pray for six Russian soldiers attacking Mariupol to trust Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.
