Guatemala City, Guatemala

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

1. The building next to the red car lies in disrepair, with hints of what used to be. Unfortunately, physical devastation is just one type of calamity a home can endure. As of 2018, Guatemala had the lowest divorce rate of any nation worldwide (statista.com). Pray for Christian families in Guatemala City to build their homes on the Word of God, that they may avoid spiritual devastation.

2. After a 1976 earthquake, Guatemalans became very receptive to the gospel. Today, the country’s average of Protestant adherents is 30%, as compared with the 6% average that other Central American nations have. Pray for the Lord to bless continuing evangelism and discipleship efforts.

3. With the metro area population well over 3 million people, Guatemala City is the largest city in Central America. However, when our Shepherd looks down at the city, He sees more than a mass of people – He looks into individual souls that need Him. Pray for someone your age to respond in faith today to the Spirit’s work in his / her heart.

Psalm 113:3

Thanks to my son for telling me facts about Guatemala that he learned in his high school geography class.

Bakhmut, Ukraine

1.   Bakhmut is a key city in the Russia – Ukraine conflict. Most of the city residents have fled. Speaking of the determination of Ukrainian resistance there, Russian leader Prigozhin of the mercenary Wagner troops said, “… every house has become a fortress.” This statement is actually what should be spiritually true of every Christian home. Pray for God’s blessings to be on those who against all odds continue to defend their homes.

2. In the video link above, there are short interviews with an 86 year old man and a lady who was a midwife before the invasion. Pray for the salvation of both of these people if they do not already know Jesus.

3. Nearly 3,000 Jews were killed in Bakhmut in January 1942. Pray for any of their living descendants to find the hope and spiritual healing that God alone can give.
