1. This skyline view is of NYC’s Harlem neighborhood, which is across the Harlem River from Randall’s Island. Harlem, New York, was originally a Dutch settlement named after Haarlem in the Netherlands (spelling changed when the British took over New York). Corrie ten Boom was born and lived in Haarlem, Holland. There is a very good guided virtual tour of the ten Boom house/clock shop available by following the link at the bottom of this post. Pray that many girls currently growing up in Harlem, New York, will have and take the opportunity to become women who have the same kind of love and trust in God that Corrie did.
2. Teqball is a new sport (invented in 2014) that combines elements from several other sports. Pray for a player who uses the Teqball Table Location of Randall’s Island Park to meet and follow Jesus.
3. Pray for God to meet the spiritual and financial needs of the newest Biblically solid church started in Harlem.

1. An interesting rule relating to pedestrians using the Randall’s Island Park bridge is stated on the black sign in the lower left corner of the picture: “Use of cameras on bridge prohibited and strictly enforced.” Whether pedestrians agree with this rule or not, they must comply. Pray for someone who routinely crosses the bridge and chafes at every rule and authority figure in his life to have a change of heart, starting with his view of God, the ultimate Authority.
2. Not far from our map marker is the Astoria World Manor, which Google describes as an “elegant event venue hosting weddings, corporate functions, and other celebrations in grand ballrooms.”  Pray for a member of a wedding party scheduled to occur at the manor to become qualified to attend the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, which will outshine any earthly event or venue.
3. Donovan Richards, Jr., is the 41 your old president of the Borough of Queens. He has a religious background. Pray for the Lord to help him start or grow (whichever the need is) in his relationship with the heavenly Father today.

There are currently more than 1,750,000 people buried at the cemetery. Pray for any living Christian family members of believers buried there to be encouraged today by the guaranteed fact that all who trust in Jesus will one day be reunited forever.

1. Less than a block away from our map marker is United Basket, a company that makes gift baskets to sell. Pray for a lady working there to give herself fully to the Lord, as the boy gave his loaves and fishes to Jesus long ago, and then for God to use her life greatly, multiplying her gift to Him.
2. Pray for today’s driver of the pictured red truck, that he will tune into a Christian radio station or receive a gospel tract, and believe the truth.
3. Matthew 14:34-36 describes the incredible response the people of Gennesaret had when Jesus came to their town. When God through the Holy Spirit reaches out to convict the hearts of the people in the pictured skyline view buildings, pray for them to likewise have a faith-filled response.

Having crossed the Williamsburg Bridge back into Brooklyn, we are currently in the Williamsburg community. Williamsburg has a large Jewish population: 36,000 adults and 32,000 children, with 74% of households adhering to Orthodox Judaism.

1. Under inspiration, Paul penned a very good summary about religious Jews in Romans 10:1-4. Pray that an orthodox family in Williamsburg fitting this description will come to know Jesus their Messiah in 2025.
2. The center business in the picture above is H&R Block. Pray that a client today coming to get tax advice will follow Jesus’ advice to “render unto God that which is God’s.” (Matt. 22:21)
3. Pray for residents of Williamsburg who have been touched deeply by the deaths of Shiri, Ariel, and Kfir Bibas (at the hands of Hamas) to turn to Christ for peace and hope that outlasts this life.

2 Corinthians 12:9

1. The map marker / photo above is pointed toward the triangular shaped Rheba Liebowitz Square. New York City has fifty-four squares named after individuals. Some of these people are well known historical figures, such as John Jay (the first US Supreme Court Justice who also negotiated a treaty with Great Britain in 1794 to avoid war). Others are relatively unknown, even by Google, but yet they made a contribution that city residents deemed was significant enough to memorialize. Such is the case with Rheba Liebowitz. It seems she was Polish Jew (1916-1964) who was a community activist, but that is all that can be surmised from a Google search of her life. Likewise, many ordinary citizens are working to make a difference in their families and communities today. Pray that the Lord will bless the efforts of those who are working to promote His kingdom, even if little is known about them by the public in general. Jesus said that one day the Father Who sees what is done in secret will reward His children openly.
2. Pray for a firefighter who works in the above area to personally accept the offer of rescue that Jesus has made to escape the worst fire of eternity.
3. Pray for any Christian kids who frequent the Henry Jackson Playground to have people in their lives who will help them grow in their walk with the Lord.

1. The pictured business is the Fu Shou Tombstone Company. Pray for a worker there to receive and read a copy of the Bible in his language, and come to know the Resurrection and the Life.
2. A Google search reveals several Baptist churches in Chinatown. As they are true to His Word, pray for the Lord to bless their worship, fellowship, evangelism, and discipleship efforts.
3. Pray for the next Chinese baby who will be born in New York City to one day become a Christian, and be faithful to love and serve God wholeheartedly.

The Brooklyn Bridge Promenade extends the entire length of the Brooklyn Bridge. The iron railings of the promenade were cast by the same foundry that had previously made the iron dome for the US Capitol building in Washington, DC. It is estimated that 32,000 pedestrians cross the bridge daily. Walking briskly, it can be crossed in about 30 minutes.

1. Pray for today’s 27,341st and 27,342nd pedestrians on the Brooklyn Bridge Promenade, that they will realize their significance to Almighty God, hear His plan of redemption, and believe on Jesus.
2. Pray for a Bible preaching church in Brooklyn to plan an outreach to the pedestrians on the Brooklyn Bridge Promenade, and for it to be successful spiritually.
3. On the ground to the right of our map marker is a carousel. Pray for the next family enjoying that attraction to receive and grow in Christ, that their family may mirror His blueprint.
