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

1. Notice the blue fire hydrant at the bottom left of the picture. A blue hydrant indicates a connection to a large water main, typically meaning that there would be a water flow of 1500 gallons per minute, suitable for fighting large fires. (The standard red fire hydrant is at the lowest end of the spectrum of hydrant colors, meaning that water flow would be less than 500 gallons per minute.) Pray for the salvation of the person whose job it is to oversee the inspection / maintenance of fire hydrants in the Sugar Hill neighborhood of New York City.
2. Pray for the next Christian who looks out one of the pictured building’s corner windows, that he or she will view current life circumstances through the window of faith in God’s promises, as opposed to an impossible wall of obstacles.
3. The green area at the left end of the block that our map marker is on is the Carmansville Playground. Pray for the Lord to save and call a boy to preach from among the children who frequent the playground.

Revelation 5:9

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

1. With only 8.32 miles to go, we are on the home stretch of our virtual prayer walk. Today finds us in Upper Manhattan, where we will walk south to Central Park, eventually ending up about 15 blocks away from our starting area last December 1st. Pray for someone who regularly goes walking at the Highbridge Recreation Area to decide to follow Jesus before our prayer walk is complete.
2. Pray for every person who sits on this bench today to have a clear opportunity to believe the gospel before the end of 2025.
3. Pray for the Lord to encourage and bless the ministries of Biblical churches in Upper Manhattan, that they may bring forth much fruit for His glory.

1. Pray for a truck driver employed by National Food Distributors to taste and see that the Lord is good, far surpassing the value and enjoyment of any earthly food.
2. Pray for a mechanic who has serviced the pictured truck to meet a Christian, for gospel focused conversations to occur, and for the mechanic to be receptive to the truth.
3. Our current map location is near Plimpton Avenue, named after George A. Plimpton (1927-2003), a talented American author known for his congeniality. In descriptions of his accomplishments and characteristics, there is, unfortunately, no reference to his religious beliefs. George had three daughters and a son, so pray for each of them to accept Christ as personal Savior.

Revelation 5:9

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

1. Pray for a lost person who plans to go today to cash a check at this corner business to realize the most important “check” to cash is God’s written offer to fully pay the wages of sin for anyone who believes. Pray for that lost individual to then enact that transaction with God.
2. Pray for a Christian who will use this corner business to get help with income tax preparation to live a life of integrity, in finances and all other areas.
3. We are not far from the Shield of David Institute, which provides support services to the disabled. Pray for someone receiving help from Shield of David to know the Son of David, and find joy in His promise to make all things new at the dawn of eternity future.

Revelation 5:9

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

1. An umbrella can be compared to Jesus, in that He is the One Who shields us from the righteous judgment of sin because He experienced the impact of that wrath in our place. Pray for the two people pictured above, that they will hear how to take refuge under His offer of salvation, and do so.
2. Pray for the people who secured the white and green signs to the telephone pole, that just as they did so hoping to catch people’s attention to read their specific announcements, so their own attention will be drawn to the best announcement of all time, and that they will act on that Good News.
3. We are currently near Bronx Community College. Pray for Christian students there to make / keep it a habit to daily sit at the feet of Christ, in Whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge (Col. 2:3).

Ezekiel 14:6

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

1. One day Jesus walked by a couple pairs of brothers who likely routinely sold their catches of fish at Capernaum’s fish market. When Jesus said “Follow Me,” they obeyed. Pray for a worker at Arubia’s Fish Market (red awning above) to have the same response.
2. Pray for a Christian who has shopped at Fordham Flowers (corner store) to carry the fragrance of Christ into her day, interactions with others, and prayers to the Father.

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

1. Giant Laundry offers both a self-service laundromat and drop-off wash-dry-fold services. Pray for a Christian utilizing the laundromat to leave a gospel tract on one of the countertops, and for a lost individual to pick it up and read it, really think about the message, and believe in Jesus.
2. Next to Giant Laundry is Family Dollar (not visible in the above screenshot). Pray for the corporate buyer who is responsible for ordering merchandise for this Family Dollar to follow Jesus’ directive in Matthew 6:33, beginning with salvation and extending to victory over anxiety.
3. Pray for a city worker whose responsibilities include maintaining the pictured streetlight to himself be illuminated by the Light of the World.

Ezekiel 14:6

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

1. This garden is a nice retreat from the normal hustle and bustle of NYC. Being in a place where one can only see things God made is an invigorating restorative to the soul. Pray for any believers who will visit the New York Botanical Garden this week to take the opportunity to be still, and know that He is God.
2. Pray for a garden employee who does not personally know the Creator to heed the words of the One Whose plants he tends.
3. Thain Family Forest (to the right of our map marker) contains glacier markings, pre-colonial Native American hunting paths, and trees from the American Revolution era. The fifty acre forest is the reason the entire site of the NYBG was chosen. Indeed, NYBG founding director Nathaniel Lord Britton described Thain Family Forest as “the most precious natural possession of the city of New York” (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thain_Family_Forest). Pray for a Christian family enjoying the hiking trails to pass on a faithful spiritual legacy to their successive generations that will last into the future as long as Thain Family Forest has been part of the North American landscape (or until the rapture, if that happens first).
