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.

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.

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 the people living in the red and white house to know Christ and be a light for Him in their community.

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of La Chorrera.

Pray for Christians in La Chorrera to live in the reality of that living water’s sustaining / refreshing Presence today.
