Tonga Revisited

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

On October 21, 2021, we prayed for Niutoua, a village on the main island of the nation of Tonga. On January 14, 2022, a volcano on an uninhabited Tonga island erupted, exploding it into disappearance, covering the rest of Tonga’s islands in ash, and causing a tsunami and a sonic boom that circled the earth twice (national geographic.com). The above picture (from USA Today) shows the result of ash that blanketed Niutoua.

  1. Pray that anyone who received Christ as a result of our prayers on October 21, 2021, will read and be comforted by the truth of Psalm 46:1-3.
  2. Drinking water is at the top of the list on aid distribution. Pray for the Lord to facilitate efficiency in meeting needs for both the physical and spiritual Water of Life.
  3. Pray for the Comforter to use this natural disaster to draw hearts to Himself. Pray that any international aid workers who are Christians will have / step through open doors for fruitful gospel conversations.

Casey Station, Antarctica

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

  1. Pray that today the Holy Spirit will remind Australian scientists in Casey of any Scripture they have previously heard, and that they will respond to it appropriately.
  2. Near Casey, a giant canyon was just discovered under Vanderford Glacier by scientists taking echo measurements from the ship Nuyina. Pray for this discovery to bring glory to God.
  3. Casey is one of four permanent Australian stations in Antarctica. Summer in Antarctica will end in February, and most people will return home, reducing the total Australian population from 500 to 80. Pray for those nearing the end of their stay to acknowledge the eternal power and divine nature of the Creator, as revealed in nature around them (Rom. 1:20). Pray that general revelation will point them to special revelation (the Bible).

Jicalapa, El Salvador

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

  1. This photo is interesting, because zooming in to the sidewalk-inscribed compass rose near the top center, and comparing that with Google Earth’s compass in the lower right corner, reveals that the concrete-inlaid compass rose does not align with the actual cardinal directions. Pray for someone living in Jicalapa who has a form of Godliness, but whose life evidences a void of God’s actual power, to change that today.
  2. El Salvador means “the Savior.” Pray for the Savior’s message to be proclaimed and received in Jicalapa.
  3. Pray for anyone wearing a pearl necklace in Jicalapa today to realize how valuable she is to the Lord, and to love Him in return.
