1. Pray that a passenger in a car crossing this bridge today will trust Christ as the only Bridge to the Father / heaven.

2. Pray for a Christian couple in Berlin who are getting married this weekend to faithfully and beautifully reflect the Biblical model of Christ and the church in their relationship.

3. Notice the industrial white storage tanks to the left of our map marker. This area of the Teltow Canal has long been used for transporting goods through Berlin. Pray for a worker at the industrial facility with the white tanks to receive a printed gospel tract this spring, take the time to read and think about it, and believe the truth.

Psalm 96:1-3

Teltowkanal (Berlin), Germany

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

1. The Berlin Wall ran parallel to the Teltowkanal for several kilometers. Today a walking/bicycle trail retraces the entire former Berlin Wall route. Many people enjoy cycling along the canal, as it often provides shady, rural views. Pray for a cyclist there today to read the gospel from a Christian website and trust Jesus for salvation.

2. The time in Berlin is five hours ahead of the USA’s Eastern Standard Time (six ahead of CST, and seven ahead of MST). Pray for someone in Berlin who is currently doing a similar activity to what you anticipate doing in five (or six or seven) hours, that the Lord will interject Himself into that person’s thoughts. Pray for the individual to then respond in faith.

3. Alan Meltzer is the US ambassador to Germany. Pray for any Christian workers at the American embassy to have an opportunity to personally speak to Mr. Meltzer about the gospel.

Psalm 96:1-3

A113 (Berlin), Germany

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

1. Federally owned major roadways designed for high-speed travel begin with the label “A” in Germany. Our current location is along highway A113. Pray for the vehicle driver that will be at this exact spot of pictured road at the moment you are praying – for the Holy Spirit to bring to the driver’s mind any Scriptures previously heard, and that the individual will be responsive to the Spirit’s convicting work.

2. The current average standard of living for Berlin’s residents is high. An example of this fact can be seen on the map above, where many homes have their own swimming pools. Pray for the seven swimming -pool-owning families living in the section of homes immediately to the left of our map marker, that they will not be satisfied with merely obtaining comfortable homes on Earth, but will also secure their eternal homes by accepting Christ’s offer of salvation.

3. With Easter less than a month away, many churches around the world are planning special gospel-centered services for that day. Pray for Biblical churches in Berlin, for the Lord to bless their Easter services, and even now be preparing hearts to attend and believe the gospel that day.

Psalm 96:1-3

Waltersdorfer Chaussee (Berlin), Germany

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Waltersdorfer Chaussee.

1. Waltersdorfer Chaussee was a strictly monitored border crossing checkpoint for those coming from West Berlin to Schonefeld Airport in East Berlin. Schonefeld Airport opened for civilian travel in 1947, and closed in 2020. Pray for any pilots who regularly flew in and out of Schonefeld Airport during its days of operation to hear a clear gospel message before the end of their lives, and trust Jesus for salvation.

2. The pictured mile marker shows travel directions and distances to various destinations. Pray that the next person who stops to look at the mile marker will also look to God’s Word as the only infallible source for directions on how to reach the eternal destination of “the City with foundations, Whose builder and maker is God.” (Heb. 11:10)

3. Our virtual prayer walk will be 30 miles along the historic Berlin Wall path. Pray for all 30-year-old Christians in Berlin to grow in their walk with the Lord this spring, and purpose in their hearts to always follow Him.

Psalm 96:1-3

Black Sea: Europe & Asia

The Black Sea is a very interesting body of water. It has two distinct layers: the top 10% is freshwater, while the lower 90% is salt water, with almost no oxygen mixed in. The condition of this lower layer is conducive to the preservation of once living things and even ancient shipwrecks; a 2,400 year old Greek sunken ship was found there.

Ten of Europe’s largest rivers flow into the Black Sea, whose drainage basin is two-thirds the size of Europe. The Black Sea has been in the news frequently during the past few years due to the current Russian-Ukrainian War. It is very important in facilitating commerce and trade.

1. “Red and yellow, black and white – they are precious in His sight…” So goes a line from the song “Jesus Loves the Little Children of the World.” Interestingly, there are also world seas named for each of those colors. Pray for the children of the world living around each of those seas to hear that Jesus loves them. Pray for Christians to go tell them this good news, and disciple the children who believe it.

2. The two pictures above were originally part of one panoramic view of the Black Sea’s coastline near Inceburun. Pray for each member of the family in the second picture to trust Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior.

3. The Greeks once called the Black Sea the “Inhospitable Sea,” due to both storms / navigational challenges, and hostile tribes along the coastline. However, after successful colonization, it was renamed the “Hospitable Sea.” Pray for the Christians who live in the drainage basin of the Black Sea to yield today to the Holy Spirit’s work in their hearts, that He may continue to transform their lives into the image of Christ, thus making them more and more hospitable to the reign of their Father.

New Virtual Prayer Walk!

A chunk of graffiti – covered concrete was on a missionary display table in the foyer of a small Texas church. It was the 1990’s, and as a young person I felt like I was touching a piece of history when I touched that piece of concrete. It was a chunk from the Berlin Wall.

The Berlin Wall separated East and West Germany from 1961-1989, and became the tangible symbol of the separation of the Free World and the Iron Curtain. Running for 96 miles, there were actually two parallel walls with a death strip of land in between. This area contained trenches, bunkers, guards, dogs, 302 watchtowers, and 55,000 landmines. It was truly a glorious day when the Berlin Wall fell.

TGP’s spring virtual prayer walk will be in Berlin, Germany, along thirty miles of where the Berlin Wall stood. One of TGP’s big goals is to host a virtual prayer walk in every continent, and to date we have completed North America (New York City) and Asia (Tokyo). Our European virtual prayer walk will begin Monday, March 9, 2026. Every Monday – Friday, I will be walking actual distances, plotting those on our route map, and featuring three prayer requests from the street view of whatever our location is for that day.

A new series is always a great opportunity for new members to join the Targeted Global Prayer team! We are also coming up on TGP’s five year anniversary (March 20). Please consider inviting one person to join us for the Berlin virtual prayer walk.

Another fact to highlight is that today marks a change in the way that daily prayer posts will be sent. I have discontinued using Follow It’s email delivery service, and will be sending each day’s email directly from targetedglobalprayer@gmail.com.

Also, when people want to join TGP, they do not need to sign up on the website; they need only email their names to targetedglobalprayer@gmail.com.

Thank you to every team member who faithfully prays for Jesus Christ to be known to the peoples of the world! Here are three quick requests for today:

1. Pray for the Lord to use our upcoming Berlin virtual prayer walk to bring many people into His kingdom.

2. Pray for new team members to join TGP this weekend.

3. Pray for the Lord to help you think of someone to invite to join us.

Romans 1:16

Oxford, England

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

The above picture is from Oxford University. John Wycliffe taught there almost 700 years ago. He worked wholeheartedly to translate the Bible into English. Pray for the Lord to kindle a love for His Word in the hearts of many of today’s Oxford students.
Pray that churches meeting in the city on this Lord’s Day will worship Him in spirit and in truth.
George Mueller cared for 10,000 orphans in Bristol, a town 85 miles from Oxford. Pray for any descendants of those orphans who currently live in Oxford to be saved and living for Jesus.

Revelation 22:20

Klenovica, Croatia

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

1. At first glance, there seems to be nothing special about the picture above – it’s just an average view from an intersection of apartment buildings in the distance. But because of the God Who can see through walls, this picture represents everything going on in the lives and souls of the people who live in these dwelling places. Pray for the people themselves to become aware of God’s care, by meeting and then abiding in the Son Whom He sent for them.

2. Klenovica is a quiet fishing village on the Adriatic Sea, and draws vacationers to its beaches. It has been around for at least 638 years (the first historical mention of it occurred in 1388). A basic internet search does not reveal any evangelical churches in Klenovica. Pray for the Lord to send someone to start a church there, and raise up for Himself many followers.

3. Pray for a person who has a Bible but has never read it to be drawn by the Holy Spirit to pick it up and begin reading it today. Pray for the Spirit to then illuminate that individual’s understanding of the gospel, and for saving faith to be the result.

Romans 10:13

Munich, Germany

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

1. Pray for a driver using this roundabout today who feels like life is spent running in circles to hear about the peace of God, and make his peace with God.

2. Not far from the above location is Deutsch Museum. It holds the impressive status of being the world’s largest science and technology museum. Over 50 fields of science are represented by 28,000 objects. Pray for a Christian student visiting the museum to use the Scriptures as a filter before believing everything he sees.

3. Pray for a candymaker in Munich to cherish the Book that is sweeter than all his confections.

Psalm 96:5

Ohrid, North Macedonia

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

As the light of a new year dawns, pray for the cross-work of Christ to transform many lives in Ohrid.
According to Wikipedia, Ohrid “once had 365 churches, one for every day of the year, and was known as ‘Jerusalem of the Balkans’.” Pray for Christianity to have genuine authenticity in the lives of adherents, and not just be an outward cultural formality.
Pray for people in Ohrid eating donuts today to taste and see that the Lord is good (Psalm 34:8), and be blessed as they trust in Him.
