On Monday, TGP team members prayed for someone in the French Quarter of New Orleans to except God’s gift of salvation this week. The Lord answered that prayer, and Monday evening nine people trusted Him as Savior! This is a great example of our Father’s using many of His children to further His kingdom. He coordinates our various efforts of sowing and watering gospel seeds, loving people, praying, and harvesting. Let us continue to seize whatever opportunities we have to make Jesus known to the peoples of the world. Thank you for being part of Targeted Global Prayer!

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of New Orleans.

1. A major gathering of pastors is being held at this Louisiana convention center June 11-14. Pray that all policy decisions made will be in line with clear Scriptural doctrine.

2. Pray for someone in the French Quarter to hear about and accept Jesus this week.

3. Pray for a jazz musician whose life circumstances are filled with the blues to meet the “God Who always leads us always in triumph in Christ” (2 Corinthians 2:14).

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

1. This cross is on the grounds of Camp Rain, a Christian summer camp near Decherd, Tennessee. This week, the camp is hosting an intensive CEF training camp for Christian Youth in Action volunteers from across the state. Beginning next week, these young people will be leading 5-day clubs throughout the state: teaching Bible and missionary stories, memory verses, and songs in community centers, churches, and backyards. Praise God for every young person across our nation willing to step up to the plate to make a difference for His kingdom, and pray for His hand to always be on their lives. Pray for there to be a bountiful spiritual harvest in the lives of the children they will be presenting God’s Word to this summer.

2. Pray for physical stamina for all the leaders and campers as they finish out the week.

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

1. This corner was one of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s favorite spots in her home. She called it the “living picture windows,” because the scenery outside was always changing. Her husband Almanzo built the center table from a cypress tree. There are more than 30,000 visitors annually to the Wilders’ farm in Mansfield, Missouri. Pray that one of today’s guests will see something that the Holy Spirit uses to draw him/her to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

2. Laura made the following statement, which is posted in the museum: “The responsibility for starting the child on the right way is the parents – it cannot be delegated to the schools or the state, for the little feet start on life’s journey from the home.” Pray for parents across our land to wholeheartedly embrace and act on this truth.

3. Laura also said, “The Little House books are stories of long ago. Today our way of living and our schools are much different; so many things have made living and learning easier. But the real things haven’t changed. It is still best to be honest and truthful, to make the most of what we have, to be happy with simple pleasures, and have courage when things go wrong…” Pray for Christians in 2023 to let God make these “real things” characteristic of their lives.

Psalm 96:7

2. Dawson City is in the Yukon Territory, and was important during the Klondike Gold Rush of the 1800s. The current population is around 1,400, and Dawson City is the second largest town in the Yukon. Pray for the Lord to send a gospel witness to someone living there who wants to know Him, but doesn’t know Who He is.
3. Pray for a local Diamond Tooth Gertie’s Gambling Hall patron to not gamble with his eternal destiny.
