MaryBeth Hall – Page 70 – Targeted Global Prayer

Happy 2nd Birthday, TGP!

Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore, pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”

(Matthew 9:37-38)

On March 20, 2021, Targeted Global Prayer featured its first city: Cochabamba, Bolivia. Today is TGP’s second birthday! It is with sincere gratitude that we thank each person who has joined us in praying that Jesus will be known to the peoples of the world. Together, our prayers have come before the throne of God in behalf of those who live where our feet may never travel.

The long term goal of TGP is to have a full 24-hour’s worth of prayer for each day’s featured city. That translates to 1,440 people praying 1 minute every day. Imagine how much could be achieved for the kingdom of God if that much prayer was offered for the given requests!

While that goal is in the future, there is a step toward it you can do now:

Please invite at least one other believer to join TGP.

We were able to obtain tickets at the airport at the last minute. I have appointments with the neuro surgeon and kidney specialist on Monday & Tuesday.” Thank the Lord for this great news, and please continue to pray that the health issues will be resolved soon.

Please pray for a doctor in Tennessee who is receiving an invitation to discuss Christianity with a believer. Pray for the Holy Spirit to open his eyes to the truth, and for the doctor to ask the Lord to save him.
