1.   Israel, Syria, and Jordan are countries around Lake Tiberias. Pray for someone from each of those nations to come to faith in Christ today.

2.   In addition to being Israel’s largest lake, Lake Tiberias is also the world’s lowest freshwater lake. It is fed from both the Jordan River and underground springs. As in Biblical times, fishing and agriculture continue to be important in the area today. Pray for a modern fisherman to be caught by the Great Fisher of Men.

3.   Tiberias is a town on the west of the lake with about 45,000 residents. Pray for Biblical churches to be established in Tiberias that will remain until the Lord returns.

2. Pray for truth, justice, and freedom to prevail in the current crisis.

3. Pray for Iranian Christians to continually sense the Lord’s presence and provision.

3. Haitham bin Tariq Al Said has been Oman’s reigning sultan since January 11, 2020. Pray for the Lord to send a personal gospel witness to him, and for belief to be his response.

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Olching-ni.

1. Olching-ni is located along the top of a mountain ridge in eastern North Korea. As is the case for almost 100% of North Korea, no streetview pictures are available. However, the Lord knows every detail of every life in Olching-ni, and cares about each person. Pray for Him to providentially make a way for the people of Olching-ni to hear the gospel.

2. Along the same line, pray for the Lord to make a way for many Bibles to get into the hands of Olching-ni’s residents.

3. Pray for protection and discipleship / opportunities for spiritual growth for anyone who trusts Christ in Olching-ni.

John 8:36

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

1. The picture above contains a dramatic contrast between the impressive mosque on the right and the poverty on the left. Pray for a person in Ghazni struggling to put food on the table to meet and love the Provider of all needs.
2. Pray for Christianity to flourish in Ghazni, and for the Lord to protect His children there.
3. Pray for Jesus to bless someone in Ghazni who wants to make a difference for Him.

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

1. This picture was likely taken three years ago. Pray for the two pictured ladies, that wherever they are today, the Lord will send a gospel witness into their lives and give them an opportunity to accept Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior.

2. Turning the camera around in a 360° street view of this location reveals a couple dozen motorcycles. In India, you have to be at least 18 years old to get a driver’s license for a geared motorcycle. Pray for the the person who has most recently started driving who will use his motorcycle on this road today to also receive a clear gospel presentation before the end of the year, and believe.

3. The religious beliefs of Salem’s approximately 1.4 million residents fall into these categories:

89.79% Hindu

7.48% Muslim

2.36% Christian (mostly Catholic)

0.37% other groups

Another 1 million+ people live in the Salem metro area, with similar religious belief statistics. Increasing government restrictions and Hindu nationalism in India have made it difficult for missionaries to enter and work there. Pray for Christians who have a desire to teach the Bible and proclaim Christ in Salem to see God open the doors for them to do so.

Romans 10:13

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Windy Gap.

1. Pray for someone working in the beachfront buildings (middle right of picture) to have a clear gospel witness, and to respond in obedience to the Savior’s beckoning.
2. Pray for someone driving along the Windy Gap highway to feel the Spirit’s working in his / her heart, and be born again (John 3:8).
3. Pray for an adult who enjoys studying history to have eyes opened to the fact that “His story” can be traced through mankind’s saga, and for that adult to believe the historically reliable Word of God.

John 17:17

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

1. The above picture is a broken sidewalk drainage grate. Interestingly, it appears that there is a fern leaf growing in the lower right hand corner, and a light-colored plant growing in the upper right corner. Pray for two people walking along the sidewalk today to see beauty in God’s unexpected work in their lives.
2. Pray that everyone in Viqueque who eats Sedaap noodles (like Ramen noodles) today will also sense the Spirit’s work in his/her heart, and yield to the Lord.
3. Viqueque has a high rate of childhood malnutrition. There is also a high rate of adult cigarette/alcohol use. Pray for the salvation of parents, and for a trickle down effect of that to be for the Lord to give them wisdom in how to best provide for the needs of their children.

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

1. Our prayer walk reaches its conclusion at the world’s busiest intersection. Over 2.4 million pedestrians use this intersection daily! Each light change can see up to 3,000 people crossing the streets. Pray for an architect and an airline pilot who have used this major crossing to come to know and walk with the One who made the skies and has the best blueprint for living.

2. Japan continues to be under the megaquake alert status. Continue to pray for the Lord to keep convicting the hearts of those who have heard the gospel before and rejected it.

3. For our last Tokyo virtual prayer walk request, please note the pictures below, and join Jesus in the prayer He prayed for lost multitudes: “But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. 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 9:36-38)

Psalm 47:2

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

1. The pictured business on the corner of today’s major intersection stop has the following words  printed on the glass of both stories: “Going Beyond the Ordinary.” Pray that an employee there will go beyond the ordinary human way of living, and respond in faith to the Spirit’s pull toward the extraordinary possibility of a dynamic personal relationship with the one true God.

2. Near our location is the Carpe Diem Jiu-Jitsu School. Carpe Diem is Latin for “seize the day.” Pray for a student there who is anxious about the possibility of an impending megaquake (see yesterday’s post) to seize this current day of life to its fullest by trusting Jesus, and thus preparing for eternity.

3. Jesus’ post-resurrection seaside conversation with Peter could be summarized this way: “Don’t worry about your past, don’t worry about your future, don’t worry about other people; follow Me.” (John 21) Pray for all Christians who pass through the intersection of Route 413 and Kitasaka today to live out these instructions as well.

Psalm 47:2
