Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of San Cristobal de las Casas.
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.
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.
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.
Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Los Angeles.
While it might seem surreal to include a city from “the land of the free and the home of the brave” in a month whose prayer focus is the persecuted church, it is, unfortunately, applicable. Religious freedoms are being increasingly and viciously attacked in the USA. Ultimately, this is because people do not like being told (or even wordlessly reminded by a Godly life) that they are accountable to a holy God. Vehement attacks on creationism, morality, freedom to follow dictates of conscience, sanctity of life, gender identity – all stem from a desire to be justified and applauded in our rebellion. However, God is still and always will be on His throne, as Psalm 2 masterfully declares. He wins, and He is with us.
Los Angeles, California, was chosen for today’s TGP city because it is home to several abortion clinics. Pray for those involved in that industry to realize the truth of Isaiah 5:20, and turn from their evil ways.
Pray for Biblical churches in Los Angeles to have the power of God evident in their services and in the daily lives of their members.
Pray that a woman planning to go to the abortion clinic pictured above will come across a portion of Scripture that draws her to Jesus, and that she will choose His plan for her soul and her baby’s life.
Isaiah 5:20 – “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!“
Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Bennington.
1. This bridge is on the campus of NEBC, a local Christian college. Pray for the Lord to use this college to spark revival and regeneration in the Northeast.
2. Vermont is the least churched state in the USA. Pray for God’s blessings to be on those who are working to change that.
3. The Bennington Battle Monument commemorates the Battle of Bennington, which was the turning point of the Revolutionary War. Pray that any living descendants of British or American soldiers who fought in that battle will have an opportunity to accept the gospel this summer, and do so.
Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Churchill.
1. Churchill is known as the “Polar Bear Capital of the World,” because of the vast number of polar bears that migrate there in autumn. This picture is from the Itsanitaq Museum. Pray that workers at the museum will see the fingerprints of their Creator in the displays they are around every day.
2. Churchill began as a trading post. Pray that if any descendants of the English or the Chipewyan who traded there are alive today, they would understand and make the ultimate trade of their sins for Christ’s righteousness.
3. Pray for the mariners who come to the Churchill arctic seaport to have access to the Word of God.
Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Chattanooga.
Pray for a neighborhood Backyard Bible Club being held at this home this week to bear fruit for eternity, and for teen workers running the club to be Spirit filled.
Though thought of as a conservative city, Chattanooga, Tennessee, has a surprising number of residents who hold pro-choice views regarding the unborn. Pray for people to be changed from the inside out.
Last Friday evening, a historic 100 year old church building caught fire and was destroyed. Pray for the sadness that many feel over this loss to be a catalyst for spiritual growth.
Today I spent several hours helping my teenage son in one of the preparation phases for the summer ministry in which he will be participating. That gave me the idea to do a special TGP post requesting prayer for youth across our nation that are dedicating a portion of their summer break to making a difference for the kingdom of God. Let us join in prayer this evening for the Lord to bless them and protect them and make their ministries fruitful for eternity. May He open doors of evangelistic and discipleship opportunities, and use their experiences this summer as a catalyst for further work in His harvestfield around the world. May the good hand of our God be on the children and teens who love Him and are willing to step out in their communities for Him. Numbers 6:24-26.
Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of San Jose.
Pray for employees in the KOED building who will soon be getting off work to think about God and His claims on their lives as they drive home.
Two days ago, the 44th Annual Nikkei Matsuri Festival in San Jose’s Japantown occurred. Pray for a band member who participated in the event to know the greatest melody of all, the song of the redeemed.
Pray for churches holding services tonight in San Jose, California, to be fruitful in their endeavors to advance the kingdom of God.
Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Spencer.
Spencer, Tennessee, is the location of Fall Creek Falls, a nearly 30,000 acre state park. On April 21-24, at the Piney Creek part of the park, a satanic festival is scheduled and being widely promoted.
The day before Jesus’ resurrection, perhaps the powers of darkness thought they had finally succeeded in their rebellion against the Lord of All. As the Lamb of God overcame then, He will always overcome darkness forevermore. Let us join with other Christians in prayer regarding this event (Ephesians 6:12):
As the festival organizers are finalizing last-minute details over the next few days, pray for the Lord to bring their plans to naught, even to the extent that the festival would not occur.
Pray for teens / young adults planning to attend out of curiosity to be divinely kept away, and to instead be redeemed by the power of Jesus Christ.
Pray for spiritual and physical protection for park rangers and regular park visitors.
