Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of La Villa de los Santos.

2. Pray for the Lord to interject Himself into the thoughts of everyone who uses the above gazebo today, and that each person will obey His leading.
3. Interestingly, 3400 miles directly northwest of the Panama town, there is a restaurant in Phoenix, Arizona, named Via Delosantos (Way of the Saints). Pray for a Christian to eat there today and shine the light of Christ when he goes that way, that a restaurant server may be saved.

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.

1. Pray for shoppers who will use this walkway today to meet someone who tells them about the love of Christ.

3. Pray for a Christian construction worker in Rio Grande to be encouraged today.

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

1. Located in Willemstad, Mikve Israel-Emanuel Synagogue opened in 1674, and is the oldest surviving synagogue in the Americas. This photo is the cabinet where the Scripture is kept. Directly behind where the photographer stood in this view is a smaller platform where the person explaining the Scripture would be. Wooden pews line both sides of the synagogue, where the men and women would be seated separately. The layout of everything is the same as it was when Christ taught in a synagogue in Luke 4. An interesting feature about the above picture is that the floor is sand. The name of this synagogue includes the name Emanuel…God with us. Pray that the hearts of many who come there will be opened to Emanuel’s message.
2. Pray for visitors to the Curacao Ostrich Farm near Willemstad to see something there that points them to the Lord.
3. According to britannica.com, the two white stars on Curacao’s flag symbolize peace and happiness. Pray for someone in Willemstad to find true peace and happiness in Jesus today.
