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

1.  Pictured above is a dovecote, which is a home for doves / pigeons.   The dove can be a symbol for both peace and the Holy Spirit. Pray that a Christian walking past the above dovecote will also walk in the Spirit, being transformed into the image of the Son for the glory of the Father.

2.  Near the above picture is a long row of large rainbow colored umbrellas that provide shade for street vendors. Pray that one of those vendors will learn the story of the first rainbow, and personally enter the ark of salvation – Jesus.

3.  Due to its great weather, Medellin boasts the nickname “City of Eternal Spring.” Pray that one of its residents will also obtain residency in the city of New Jerusalem, which has an even better feature: no need of the sun, because God is its light.

Deuteronomy 6:4-7

Lago Argentino is a glacier fed lake, with some runoff water from the Andes Mountains.  The lake’s teal color is from “glacial milk,” mineral sediment suspended in the glacial meltwater. Lago Argentino is Argentina’s largest freshwater lake, and contributes tourism and fishing to the area’s economy.

1.   Pray for a visitor to Los Glaciares National Park to see the Creator’s majesty in the views he enjoys, and then recognize the Creator’s right to reign in his own life as well.

2.   Many believers around the world have been baptized in lakes or rivers, picturing the salvation that has become the defining moment of their lives. Pray for any Argentine Christians who need to follow the Lord in believer’s baptism to do so.

3.   Near Lago Argentino is the town El Calafate, sometimes called by the same name as the lake. Both of the top two World Altitude Gliding Records were set near El Calafate, in 2006 and 2018. Pray for someone living there who has previously heard but not accepted the gospel to do so today, that one day that person may soar even higher than the highest gliding record to live with God in His heaven.

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

1. Macapa is located on the bank of the Amazon River, ninety-three miles from where it empties into the Atlantic Ocean on Brazil’s northern coastline. The picture above features a statue of three women doing laundry at the river’s edge. The Amazon River is in the middle background of the picture, with the distant shoreline at the far background. Pray for any woman doing laundry today in Macapa to have the opportunity to have her heart cleansed whiter than any fabric could ever be.
2. Macapa has about 487,000 residents, and the equator runs through the city. Because of this, it has been nicknamed “The Capital of the Middle of the World.” Pray for someone who will cross the equatorial line today to also cross over the line from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of God’s dear Son.
3. There are a few roads out of Macapa, but most travel to other Brazilian cities is by air or sea. A bridge opened in 2017 that connects Macapa to the country of French Guiana, which is the first road from the country of Brazil as a whole into French Guiana. Pray for the engineer who designed this bridge to meet the Engineer Who not only designed, but Himself is the sole Bridge from mankind to God.
