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

1.   Now known as Independence Hall, the Pennsylvania State House is where the Declaration of Independence was signed, officially birthing the United States of America. Benjamin Rush, one of Pennsylvania’s delegates, described the atmosphere of the room as a “pensive and awful silence which pervaded the house,” for the men knew the magnitude of what they were doing, and the risk of signing their names to the document. Pray that God Almighty will always give Americans courage to do what they know is right.

2.   A large fireworks show at the Benjamin Franklin Parkway is planned for tonight. Pray that one of the workers in that event will be saved today, that he may know the truth and enjoy the greatest kind of freedom (John 8:32).

3.  Pray for Amish families near Philadelphia to understand that salvation is God’s unmerited gift.

The second hobby in our TGP Summer 2025 Tuesday / Thursday series was submitted by a team member from Virginia. (Any team members are welcome to send in their own hobbies / interests for inclusion in the series.)

Over 7,000,000,000 greeting cards are sent annually in the United States. Although most of these are mass produced, there are an estimated 3,500 small business creators that make greeting cards, and that number is increasing all the time. Handmade cards are appealing to send because of their personal touch, high quality, beauty, and simple yet profound wording. They account for an estimated 20% of the card industry.

Besides the business advantage, card making offers many benefits as an enjoyable hobby, from creative expression to stress reduction.  Handmade cards are as varied as the people who make them, with a plethora of materials and techniques available – the sky’s the limit! Another draw to card making is that people with varying ability and experience levels are able to make cards.

1. Card making is a ministry of encouragement. Some churches have ladies groups that make cards.  Pray for the Lord Himself to encourage Christian card makers today as they have encouraged others.

2. Pray for someone living in your state who is lost, and will receive a handmade greeting card from a believer this week, to think about and accept the gospel.

3. Pray for older saints in nursing homes across the country who will glance at previously received cards in their rooms today to be ministered to by the Holy Spirit, as He reminds them of His ever faithful presence.

Matthew 28:20b

Next Monday through Thursday a special gospel preaching tent meeting is planned for Harvard Square in Boston. One of our TGP team members and her teenage grandson are there to help (her sister and brother-in-law have a ministry in Boston and are doing the tent meeting).

She has asked for prayer for God’s protection over the event. The tent they are borrowing says “We Love Israel,” and Massachusetts has had a high level of anti-Semitic activity. Additionally, Boston has had protesting in conjunction with the LA riots.

Three meetings are planned for each day: 10:30, 1:30, and 6:30 (Eastern time). If you have the opportunity, consider setting your phone alarm for those three times, that as many of us as possible may uplift our brothers and sisters before the Father’s throne.

1. Pray for God to protect the tent meeting throughout the week in every way.

2. Pray for many lost people to come and hear the gospel, and believe.

3. Pray for there to be many Christians helping facilitate the meetings, and for the Lord to give them strength day by day.

James 5:16b

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

1. Pray for teens who play baseball at this complex to join God’s winning team…the church.
2. York, Nebraska, is named for towns in England and Pennsylvania. Pray for one person from each of the three Yorks to be saved today.
3. Pray for a seamstress in York to follow Scripture’s pattern for a successful life (Joshua 1:8).

1 Peter 5:7

Dear TGP Prayer Team,

This isn’t a normal post, but I’m asking you all to read, pray, and respond as God leads in relation to what is written below. Thank you!

God wouldn’t let the baker sleep, so at 2 AM he got up and started baking bread…three professional batches’ worth of bread. At breakfast time the next morning, he loaded it all up and took it to a local orphanage. Three hundred children sat at the tables, but their plates were empty. They had gotten dressed and ready for school, come to the table, thanked God for the breakfast they did not see, and waited. And then the baker came.

Following his delivery, the milkman knocked at the door. His delivery cart had broken a wheel directly in front of the orphanage, and the milk would sour by the time the wheel could be fixed. He wondered if the orphanage would be able to use ten cans of milk. Thus it was that three hundred hungry orphans had full stomachs that morning when the cupboards were empty.

This true story of George Mueller’s orphanage in Bristol, England, is well-known and loved by many. We often highlight the faith of the man who started the orphanage, or the fatherly provision of God for the orphans. Today, I want to shine the spotlight on the baker whose name we don’t even know. We continue to tell his story 150 years later, and all we know to call him is “the baker.” He couldn’t sleep, and he listened to the Spirit’s whisper in his heart. That obedience made a huge difference, not only in the provision of a meal to hungry children, but in the subsequent encouragement to trust God’s provision as his story has been retold to generations. He didn’t know exactly what was going on or would result, but he obeyed.

Today, I’m asking everyone who reads this to be that baker.   NEBC (https://nebcvt.org/ ) is a Christian college making a difference for God in the Northeast. They operate by faith, and they need some “bakers” who will listen to the Spirit’s prompting to give what they have. If you’ve never heard of NEBC, here’s a link to an informative interview that discusses both who the school is and the urgency of their current situation: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1BmdmdFLJn/

Last night, our church took an offering to give toward pressing end-of-the-month needs that NEBC has. I watched an eight year old girl put a dollar bill in the offering plate, and a teenager drop in yard work cash. If children and teens can step up to the plate, all of us can, too. All of God’s children are in this thing of spreading the gospel together, so let’s each do what we can to help. Like the baker in Bristol, you may not know the full impact your gift will have this side of eternity, and your name may not be famous, but – also like the baker – God wants to use you, and you will rejoice in time to come.

Memorial Day is meant to be a day of reflection, honor, and gratitude for those who paid the ultimate sacrifice to preserve freedom. The “Hymn to the Fallen” by John Williams powerfully captures these sentiments:

1. Pray for immediate family members of US military who have died in the last decade to know the gratitude of a nation and the hope that God alone can provide.
2. Pray for today’s generation of young people to have the caliber of character that is willing to sacrifice ease for freedom, faith, and family.
3. Countless Memorial Day observances are planned for today across our land. Pray for many people to accept God’s offer of salvation as a result of participating churches that will be seeking to point the way to the One Who gave His blood to obtain eternal freedom for all who believe.
