Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Mount Washington.

1. Mount Washington is located in New Hampshire’s White Mountains, and is the highest peak in the Northeastern USA. It is known for extreme and sometimes volatile weather. The highest wind speed ever recorded in the world was documented to be 231 mph on Mount Washington in 1934. Staff for both the observatory and the state park live on the summit all year long, taking rotating shifts of a week at a time. Living quarters are in the lower floor of the office building, and that building has been designed to withstand winds up to 300 mph. Pray for the salvation of a staff member who is on Mount Washington this week, that his / her life will become founded on the only Rock that can withstand every storm of any type.

2. Expert level backcountry skiers come to Mount Washington for the thrill of the challenge to successfully ski down Tuckerman Ravine and the Gulf of Slides. (There is no typical ski resort or ski lift service on Mount Washington due to the dangers of avalanches.) Pray for the pictured skiers to embrace a life of wholehearted devotion to Jesus Christ, an adventure that far surpasses any temporal thrills.

3. Mount Washington is part of the Presidential Range, which has many peaks named after US Presidents. A strenuous hiking challenge called the Presidential Traverse provides a route to climb several peaks. Due to weather challenges, hikers can stay in Appalachian Mountain Club huts along the way. Pray for a duo who are preparing to hike the Presidential Traverse this summer, that they will attend a Biblical church service in their hometown this spring, and hear and believe the gospel.

Romans 1:16

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

1. “Creemees” are a Vermont specialty ice cream. The higher butterfat content than standard ice cream has makes the texture of creemees very silky. Their classic flavor is maple syrup, a signature product of the state of Vermont. The 360° view of this picture (taken in the summer of 2025) shows a couple adults and several children walking toward the business. Pray that every child who enjoyed creemees here last summer will hear the gospel before reaching adulthood.

2. With around 11,000 residents, Milton ranks as the eighth largest community in the state. Pray for the Lord’s hand to be on the churches in Milton that are seeking to faithfully follow Him.

3. Milton was chartered in 1763 by Governor Benning Wentworth, who granted approximately 135 town charters (among which many towns still exist today). Included in those towns is Bennington, named after the governor, and also holding the distinction of being Vermont’s oldest town (chartered in 1749). Bennington has been featured previously on TGP. Pray for someone living in Milton who has family connections in Bennington to come to know Christ, and for the Bennington family members to do the same.

Psalm 103:19

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

1. Pray for the current driver of this logging truck to meet and love the Lord of all creation, Who made the trees from which the worker derives a livelihood.

2. Called the “Switzerland of Maine” because of its mountainous surroundings, Jackman, Maine, is nestled in the Moose River Valley a mere 16 miles from the Canadian border. Many people come to Jackman for outdoor sports ranging from snowmobiling to hunting. Pray for a winter tourist who is in Jackman this week to hear and believe the gospel.

3. Pray for a resident of Jackman who has previously received but rejected a gospel witness to once again be convicted by the Holy Spirit of his need for salvation, and this time to repent/believe.

Psalm 103:19

Shared by the USA and Canada, Lake Huron could almost hold the state of West Virginia entirely on its surface. Thirty thousand islands rise above the lake’s surface, including the popular vacation destination Mackinac Island. Lake Huron connects to Lake Michigan via the Straits of Mackinac. Lake Huron has more coastline miles than any of the other Great Lakes, and is the world’s fifth largest freshwater lake.

1.   Pray that every person in the water at Lake Huron today will come across something from the Word of God by the end of this summer, and that the Holy Spirit will keep bringing it to their attention.

2.   Pray for a groundskeeper at the Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse to himself meet the ultimate Lighthouse Who rescues lives from sin’s shipwrecks.

3.   Pray for a Lake Huron tugboat operater to know the God Who can move life’s heaviest burdens.

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Old Forge.

1. Old Forge, New York, is known as a base camp for the Adirondacks, and has about 360 permanent residents. Winter tourism is a big draw to the community. The second picture above is in a shopping center full of interesting stores. Pray for the woodworker who made the pictured chairs to come to know Christ, that he may have his own chair at the Lamb’s table in heaven.

2. There are three churches in Old Forge, but the doctrines they espouse do not line up with the gospel. Pray for the Lord to send (and continually open doors and provide for) a church planting team to start a Scripturally sound church in Old Forge.

3. Another shop in Old Forge is a bookstore that features a lot of cookbooks. Pray for a Christian tourist who will visit Old Forge this year to have and take an opportunity to witness for Jesus to a worker in that bookstore.

Revelation 22:20

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Tumbler Ridge.

1. Tumbler Ridge is a rural area in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, located in northeastern British Columbia. There are about 2,400 residents of Tumbler Ridge. Yesterday there was a school shooting at the pictured high school, in which 10 people (including the gunman) were killed, and 25 injured. Pray for the Lord to help the families involved as they process everything that happened / the resultant changes.

2. Tumbler Ridge Fellowship Baptist Church is one of four churches in the town, and has a very Biblical doctrinal statement online. Pray for the Lord to use this church to reach many people with the gospel during this time, when questions of eternal importance are potentially at the front of people’s minds.

3. The shooting yesterday was the worst mass shooting to occur in Canada in 40 years. Many world leaders have called Canada’s leaders to offer their condolences. Another current issue in Canada is legislation that limits freedom to proclaim what the Bible says. Pray for the Lord to protect His children and ministers, and for national leaders to make policy decisions based on truth.

John 8:36

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of St. Cloud.

1. There are two cities named St. Cloud in the USA, one in Minnesota and the other in Florida. Pictured above is a house in the Minnesota city. Pray for the next person who looks out the bay window to look to Christ for salvation if he/she hasn’t already done so.

2. Pray for any coaches/players of the St. Cloud State University Huskies ice hockey team who are believers to grow in their walk with the Lord this week.

3. Pray for people in St. Cloud who have the same occupation you have to consider the claims of Christ upon their lives, and respond in faith and obedience.

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of San Cristobal de las Casas.

1. In October of 2020, 33 evangelical Protestants were thrown out of a neighborhood in San Cristobal de las Casas, because they were not Catholics (state.gov). Pray for those people, wherever they are today, to continue growing in their walk with the Lord.
2. Pray for a child who will be in the pictured courtyard today to meet someone who can explain the love of Jesus to him / her, and for faith to be the response.
3. Pray for someone reading from the Bible today to accept it as the final authority for knowing God, not merely as an equal with any other religious tradition or human book / directive.
