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.
