Pray for four of the city’s jewelers to come to know Christ, that they themselves may be God’s jewels (Malachi 3:16-17).

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Edinburgh of the Seven Seas.
Located in the South Atlantic, Edinburgh of the Seven Seas is part of a British territory. Pray for a gospel witness to reach this settlement of a few hundred people.
Pray that the next people to stand at this overlook will ponder the most important questions of life, and have / take the opportunity to believe the Bible’s answers to those questions.
The Camogli Hospital was built in 1971, and moved into a new building in 2017. This four bed facility is staffed by regular visits from off-island doctors, dentists, and optometrists, with local nurses providing continuity. Pray for one of those nurses to meet and enlist in the service of the Great Physician, Who is adequate to treat needs of both soul and body.
The Congo River is Africa’s second longest river, and the world’s third largest river by discharge volume. With a maximum depth of 720 feet, the Congo River is the deepest river in the world. It provides 30% of the continent’s freshwater, and close to 80 million people live in the Congo River basin.
1. Praying for the nine pictured people who are shipping wood on the Congo River to hear and believe the gospel before the end of this year.
2. Around 500,000 African Pygmies (very short people) live in the Congo basin. Sadly, many African countries consider these tribal groups to be second class humans, and they don’t enjoy the same access to citizenship, education, and property ownership. Pray for several pygmies who are keenly feeling that rejection today to be introduced to the Father’s love, and accept His invitation to become “accepted in the Beloved.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_Pygmies#:~:text=Pygmies%20are%20often%20evicted%20from,health%20care%20and%20education%20access.&text=There%20are%20roughly%20500%2C000%20Pygmies%20remaining%20in%20the%20rainforest%20of%20Central%20Africa
3. Pray for a person living in close proximity to the Congo River who shares your name (or a translation with the same meaning as your name) to become a child of God, that he or she may one day receive a special new name in glory (Rev. 2:17).

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Dassa-Zoume.
1. Beninese nationals consider Dassa-Zoume to be “the nerve center of occultism” (imdb.com). Pray for someone actively working to promote that dark bondage to be gloriously saved and enter God’s kingdom of truth and light.
2. Pray for the photographer and the two people in the picture to hear about Jesus today, and ask Him to be their Lord and Savior.
3. Dassa’s claim to fame is a cave where an image of Mary is said to have appeared in 1954, and is now a destination for a Catholic pilgrimage honoring her. Pray for someone caught up in seeking a tangible religious experience not to neglect the convicting work of the Holy Spirit in his soul to depend on Christ’s merit alone for right standing before God.

1. This oasis town is in Egypt’s Western Desert. Pray for the 67,000 residents to have opportunities to hear about the only true spiritual oasis for the thirsty human heart.
2. Pray for the students at New Valley University to question any philosophy that conflicts with reality.
3. Pray for Godly family units to be established and strengthened.
Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Zuunmod.
1. Zuunmod has about 17,000 residents. Pray for the Father to raise up seventeen churches there.
2. The Battle of Jao Modo occurred in 1649 in Zuunmod, with a victory for the Qing Dynasty. Pray for any living descendants of Jao Modo warriors to have (and take) an opportunity to personally enlist in the army of the King of Kings.
3. Zuunmod means “Hundred Trees.” Pray for 100 people to be like the tree of Psalm 1, planted by the Living Water.
“‘To whom then will you liken Me, or to whom shall I be equal?’ says the Holy One. Lift up your eyes on high, and see Who has created these things, Who brings out their host by number; He calls them all by name, by the greatness of His might and the strength of His power; not one is missing.”
God has both authority and power over everything. The focus of His omnipotence is the reality that He can do anything He wants to do. He is limited by no one and nothing. Psalm 104 beautifully describes His power using many examples from creation. In the New Testament, the Incarnate Son continues to demonstrate all-encompassing power; indeed, all things are literally held together by Him. He is the Mighty God.
One of the ways the kindness of our God is seen is that He uses His power for our benefit. Psalm 107 illustrates this, calling us to praise Him for the coupling of omnipotence with goodness. Just three verses down from Isaiah’s words (see the above), we read that “He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength.” The God Who can do anything graciously lends His power to us. Let us – the inadequate but enabled – go forth today in His strength.
1. Pray for the omnipotent Lord to interject Himself into the life/thoughts of someone who will pick up mail from one of these PO boxes today.
2. Due to their role in being a stopping-off port in the exploration of the New World, the Canary Islands became an important link between Africa, Europe, North America, and South America. Pray for the One Who is omnipotent over all four of these continents to be honored as so in the life of an individual from each of these four continents who currently resides on Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands.
3. Los Cristianos (‘the Christians’) has a Spanish Catholic background. Interestingly, the city is now the headquarters for the Islamic Federation of the Canary Islands. Pray for two families, one steeped in each of these religions, to be reached with the gospel of the God Who is so powerful that He can even facilitate change in long-held belief systems.
“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.”
Psalm 103:6
“The LORD executes righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed.”
In a world where people seem to get away with wrongs ranging from snide comments to great atrocities, it is good to know that there is a just Judge Who will rectify all. His hands are the best place to leave everything regarding vengeance, for only He is wise and capable enough for the job.
The greatest wrong that could ever be committed is sin against that Holy God. He is at once both the Just One and the Justifier of those who humbly receive the gift of His salvation (Rom. 3:26). Accepting the fact that the Son took sin’s punishment on their behalf is the only means by which the condemned guilty may be declared righteous.
1. An interesting fact to notice from this photo is that both the road markings and side of the road that drivers use are different from the USA. Pray that a driver traveling this highway today will choose the narrow spiritual road that leads to life, coming to the Just One alone for justification.
2. Pray for the Lord to execute righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed in Osana, and for them to recognize His hand in that.
3. Pray for any Christians in Osana to imitate their just Father by seeking to be impartial in their day to day decisions, basing those judgment calls on objective truth.
