1. On Easter Sunday night of 2020, a tornado destroyed the buildings of Grace Baptist Church and its Christian school. Since then, Grace has been working with FEMA to obtain some of the funds for rebuilding. Please pray for the release of those funds to occur soon. Also, the church has received a matching gift offer for the month of June. A little less than half of the offer has been raised, and there are only four days left in the challenge. Please pray for the fullest possible amount to be given.

2. Northeastern Baptist College is a spiritual beacon in a dark place. In April and May, evangelistic outreaches led to 473 salvation decisions. Those same two months also saw a significant slowdown in financial contributions. The end of the school’s fiscal year is June 30. Pray for many Christians to donate this week to NEBC, so that the school can end the year with a strong financial standing.

3. In current American society, having both parents work outside the home is the norm. Financial structures and social expectations are built around that reality, making it increasingly difficult for single income families. Pray for the Lord’s wisdom and provision for all of His children who have made decisions to follow His model for family living.

Psalm 96:11

Hikutavake, Niue

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

The photographer of the above picture was standing under a sea arch. Pray for that photographer and his family to come to know Christ if they don’t already.
The entire country of Niue has a population of less than 2,000 people, and the village of Hikutavake had 49 residents in 2017. Pray for each person in Hikutavake to receive a personal gospel witness this year.
There is a memorial honoring men from Hikutavake who served in the New Zealand Expeditionary Force in WW1. Pray for any living relatives of theirs to trust Jesus, the Victor in the greatest expedition of history.

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

Pray for each of today’s patients at the above medical clinic to be introduced to the Great Physician.

Ultimately, we have all committed torti against a holy God, as our sins are the greatest affront to what should have been. Pray for two people in Torti to come to salvation today and be declared righteous by that holy God.
