Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Mwadingusha.
Though likely not a baptismal photo, the above picture makes one think of that ordinance. Pray for a new believer in Mwadingusha to understand baptism, and follow the Lord in that act of obedience / public testimony.
Near the town is Lake Tshangalele, which harnesses hydroelectricity to smelt copper in Likasi. The lake also supports 2,000 fishermen (wikipedia). Pray for workers deriving their livelihood from both occupations to have changed lives, as described in John 10:10.

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Reykjavik.
1. The hospital above is where 70% of Iceland’s children are born. It also provides prenatal chromosomal screening. Nationwide, only 1-2 Down’s Syndrome babies are born annually. Pray for mothers carrying Down’s Syndrome babies to have courage to keep their God-given children. Information from: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/down-syndrome-iceland/
2. According to gaytravel.com, the Reykjavik Gay Pride is the nation’s most popular festival. Pray that as people are preparing for that August event, the Holy Spirit will convict their hearts of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8-11), thus drawing them to the only One Who fills empty hearts.
3. Pray for God to raise up a generation of people who know the Truth, and are free.

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Rovaniemi.
Notice the inlaid log in the restaurant island above. Pray for several of today’s patrons to be transformed by the gospel, “that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He might be glorified.” (Isaiah 61:3)
Rovaniemi is “the official hometown of Santa Claus” (according to Google). Pray for a local resident who sees God as a sort of heavenly Santa Claus to understand Scripture’s portrait of Who He really is and how He relates to mankind.
Though it came close to total destruction in WW2, today Rovaniemi is a modern city with many attractions. Pray for someone living there whose life is on the brink of destruction to escape ruin by turning to the Rescuer for salvation.

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Gutu.
Pray for members of the Gutu Rural District Council to make wise decisions for their area based on God’s Truth.
Gutu comes from a word meaning “the one with a load of arrows.” Psalm 127 declares that children are like arrows in the hand of a mighty man. Pray for the Lord to give many children to Christian families in Gutu, who will be arrows for His kingdom.
Pray for third shift workers to have a moment during the night to ponder any Scripture they have heard, and seek to know more about the God of the Bible.

1. This cross is on the grounds of Camp Rain, a Christian summer camp near Decherd, Tennessee. This week, the camp is hosting an intensive CEF training camp for Christian Youth in Action volunteers from across the state. Beginning next week, these young people will be leading 5-day clubs throughout the state: teaching Bible and missionary stories, memory verses, and songs in community centers, churches, and backyards. Praise God for every young person across our nation willing to step up to the plate to make a difference for His kingdom, and pray for His hand to always be on their lives. Pray for there to be a bountiful spiritual harvest in the lives of the children they will be presenting God’s Word to this summer.
2. Pray for physical stamina for all the leaders and campers as they finish out the week.

1. This corner was one of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s favorite spots in her home. She called it the “living picture windows,” because the scenery outside was always changing. Her husband Almanzo built the center table from a cypress tree. There are more than 30,000 visitors annually to the Wilders’ farm in Mansfield, Missouri. Pray that one of today’s guests will see something that the Holy Spirit uses to draw him/her to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
2. Laura made the following statement, which is posted in the museum: “The responsibility for starting the child on the right way is the parents – it cannot be delegated to the schools or the state, for the little feet start on life’s journey from the home.” Pray for parents across our land to wholeheartedly embrace and act on this truth.
3. Laura also said, “The Little House books are stories of long ago. Today our way of living and our schools are much different; so many things have made living and learning easier. But the real things haven’t changed. It is still best to be honest and truthful, to make the most of what we have, to be happy with simple pleasures, and have courage when things go wrong…” Pray for Christians in 2023 to let God make these “real things” characteristic of their lives.
