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

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

1.   Now known as Independence Hall, the Pennsylvania State House is where the Declaration of Independence was signed, officially birthing the United States of America. Benjamin Rush, one of Pennsylvania’s delegates, described the atmosphere of the room as a “pensive and awful silence which pervaded the house,” for the men knew the magnitude of what they were doing, and the risk of signing their names to the document. Pray that God Almighty will always give Americans courage to do what they know is right.

Psalm 96:12-13

1.   On Easter Sunday night of 2020, a tornado destroyed the buildings of Grace Baptist Church and its Christian school. Since then, Grace has been working with FEMA to obtain some of the funds for rebuilding. Please pray for the release of those funds to occur soon. Also, the church has received a matching gift offer for the month of June. A little less than half of the offer has been raised, and there are only four days left in the challenge.  Please pray for the fullest possible amount to be given.

2.   Northeastern Baptist College is a spiritual beacon in a dark place. In April and May, evangelistic outreaches led to 473 salvation decisions. Those same two months also saw a significant slowdown in financial contributions. The end of the school’s fiscal year is June 30. Pray for many Christians to donate this week to NEBC, so that the school can end the year with a strong financial standing.

3.   In current American society, having both parents work outside the home is the norm. Financial structures and social expectations are built around that reality, making it increasingly difficult for single income families. Pray for the Lord’s wisdom and provision for all of His children who have made decisions to follow His model for family living.
