Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of New York City.

1. No matter how many buildings crowd New York City, the sky is always bigger. One day Jesus Christ will rapture His church to meet Him in the clouds. Pray for each of the four pictured apartment buildings to have a steady stream of Christian residents who will be a light for God until He comes.
2. There were 38,000 adherents to Islam in the Bronx in 2010. By 2020, that number had nearly tripled to 112,000. Another way to grasp this is that one out of every twelve people is Muslim. Rough estimates of data regarding the number of born again Christians rank them at a lower percentage of the Bronx’s population. Pray for God’s people to make a difference in their community.
3. Pray for an X-ray technician at the BronxCare Hospital to meet the God Who sees inside every individual, and accept His offer of salvation.

1. The pictured display of laundry soap and glass cleaner brings to mind God’s offer in Isaiah 1:18 to cleanse the stain of sin. Pray for a customer who has purchased Tide or Windex from this store to receive His cleansing, for it is the only way to authentically be declared righteous.
2. In describing the Transfiguration, Mark 9:3 states that Jesus’ clothes were whiter than any launderer on earth could whiten fabric. Pray for Christians living / working in the vicinity of our map marker to be reminded again of the holiness and majesty of their Savior.

1. This skyline view is of NYC’s Harlem neighborhood, which is across the Harlem River from Randall’s Island. Harlem, New York, was originally a Dutch settlement named after Haarlem in the Netherlands (spelling changed when the British took over New York). Corrie ten Boom was born and lived in Haarlem, Holland. There is a very good guided virtual tour of the ten Boom house/clock shop available by following the link at the bottom of this post. Pray that many girls currently growing up in Harlem, New York, will have and take the opportunity to become women who have the same kind of love and trust in God that Corrie did.
2. Teqball is a new sport (invented in 2014) that combines elements from several other sports. Pray for a player who uses the Teqball Table Location of Randall’s Island Park to meet and follow Jesus.
3. Pray for God to meet the spiritual and financial needs of the newest Biblically solid church started in Harlem.

1. An interesting rule relating to pedestrians using the Randall’s Island Park bridge is stated on the black sign in the lower left corner of the picture: “Use of cameras on bridge prohibited and strictly enforced.” Whether pedestrians agree with this rule or not, they must comply. Pray for someone who routinely crosses the bridge and chafes at every rule and authority figure in his life to have a change of heart, starting with his view of God, the ultimate Authority.
2. Not far from our map marker is the Astoria World Manor, which Google describes as an “elegant event venue hosting weddings, corporate functions, and other celebrations in grand ballrooms.”  Pray for a member of a wedding party scheduled to occur at the manor to become qualified to attend the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, which will outshine any earthly event or venue.

1. The pictured vehicle is a 2004 Nissan Xterra. “Everything You Need, Nothing You Don’t” was the company’s selling slogan for the vehicle. Pray for every Christian owner of a Nissan Xterra in New York City to have this statement true of his life spiritually, that he will lay aside every weight and sin, and utilize all that God has provided for life and godliness.
2. Pray for anyone living on 48th Street who went to church yesterday and heard the gospel, but remains in the valley of decision, that today will be the day of salvation.
