Pictured above is the Len Beadell Public Library, whose namesake has been called “the last true Australian explorer.” A surveyor who led a small crew in building 3700+ miles of roads, including the famous Gunbarrel Road across Australia’s desert, he thus provided access to 970,000+ square miles of bush country. His interest in surveying began as a teenager when he join a scout troop whose scoutmaster was a surveyor. He continued surveying for the Australian military in WW2, and stayed with the military afterwards, using his skills to select a site for atomic bomb testing. He later built roads for a decade, using constellations to help determine latitude and longitude in order to make them as straight as a gunbarrel when at all possible. He named these roads after his wife and three children, one of whom quotes their dad as saying, “First you make the roads and then you take your family for trips on them.” * The hardships of extended bush life took their toll on his health, so Len transferred to other work in 1963, continuing to contribute valuable services to his country, and receiving numerous honors.
1. Pray for each of Len and Anne’s descendants to have a personal relationship with Jesus, Who is the only Road from this world to the Father.
2. Pray for someone who frequents the above library to find the key to happiness in walking with God.
3. All of Len’s roads are still usable today, and 4-wheelers enjoy the challenge of traversing them. Pray for one such adventurer to be saved this year.
Please take an extra moment today to pray for people affected by recent earthquakes.
On Friday, Myanmar had its largest quake of the last hundred years, with the epicenter being in the country’s second most populous city. The current death toll of 1,644 is expected to rise. Humanitarian aid, rescue, and recovery efforts have been extremely difficult, and the Myanmar military has made a rare plea for international help. Pray for the Lord to meet the dire spiritual and physical needs of Myanmar’s people, each one a soul for whom Jesus died. Pray also for those in neighboring countries such as Thailand that were adversely affected by the earthquake.
Just this morning, we prayed for someone from Tonga to become a Christian. Also today, a couple large quakes occurred near Tonga, with several aftershocks and a resulting tsunami warning issued (currently lifted). Thankfully, no fatalities have been reported, but events like today’s can help people contemplate their standing before God and readiness to meet Him. Pray for today to be the day of salvation for not just one, but many of Tonga’s residents.

1. Lae is the largest cargo port of Papua New Guinea (wikipedia). Pray for a dock worker at the above location to put his faith for life and eternity in the only Master of the Sea.
2. Lae was established during the 1920’s gold rush. With a population of 300,000, it is the second largest city of the country. Pray for many Biblical churches to be planted and grow in Lae.

The school’s tagline is “Where Tomorrow Starts Today.” ( https://www.unitech.ac.pg/ ) Pray that a student preparing for an IT career will come across a Christian website and be confronted with the gospel. Pray for the Holy Spirit to keep working on his heart until, spiritually speaking, tomorrow really does start today.

Named for the same British queen as Africa’s Lake Victoria, Australia’s Lake Victoria is smaller, yet also of historical and current importance. It is part of the Murray-Darling Drainage Basin, and has been a First Nation place of living for thousands of years. It currently does not exceed a depth of eighteen feet, and serves as a reservoir for extra water from the Murray River, releasing water to the south as needed.
1. Pray for the salvation of an archaeologist who has excavated around Lake Victoria. Many artifacts have been uncovered, but pray for an archaeologist to find an even greater treasure in the truth of the Word of God.
2. Pray for Christian outreaches among Australia’s aboriginal people to being forth much fruit.
3. Pray for the professional who makes the final call on regulating water flow out of Lake Victoria to cheerfully let the Lord make the final decisions for his life.
