This weekend is the deadline to respond concerning TGP’s additional prayer opportunity for specific lost people.

Romans 10:14-15

How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written:
“How beautiful are the feet of those who [b]preach the gospel of peace,
Who bring glad tidings of good things!”

1. Los Angeles, USA: Pray for an evacuee who is on the edge of despair today to hear and believe the gospel, thereby obtaining the hope and Home that nothing can take away.
2. Court Pl. & Center St., NYC: Pray for a groundskeeper at both the United Hebrew Cemetery and the Mount Richmond Cemetery to personally accept the truth that Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life (John 11:25).
3. Your Choice: Please pray for a request that you remember from one of the other locations featured this week:

Richmond Rd., between McCully Ave. & Hitchcock Ave., NYC

Richmond Rd. & New Dorp Ln., NYC

Richmond Rd. & Lincoln Ave., NYC

Thank you for praying!

Today’s post is dedicated to a new opportunity available to the TGP team to “up our game” in the vitally important matter of lost individuals and their need for salvation.

TGP members are invited to reply to this email/text with the first name only of any unsaved individuals with whom they have had personal contact. On January 20, an email from  targetedglobalprayer@gmail.com will be sent to anyone who has submitted a name(s). This email will have a pdf document that lists those first names in alphabetical order. Participating TGP members can then print the list, and post it in a place they will see daily: inside a kitchen cabinet, car, Bible, sock drawer, etc. By several of us praying for a few people a day, we can keep their names before the throne of God. Lord willing, this will make a difference in the life-and-death battle for souls.

The plan is for the list to be updated and then re-emailed on the 20th of each month.

If you have any first names you would like to submit for prayer, please do so before January 19.

Thank you for considering joining this extended ministry of TGP. The gravity of a person’s decision whether or not to accept Christ’s blood as the only possible atonement for sin is of eternal weight.

“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” (John 3:18)

Romans 10:12-13

For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.“

1. Richmond Rd., between Hasbrouck Rd. & Old Town Rd., NYC: The people whose house was pictured on this post have religious statuary in their front yard. Pray for the people who live there to have a real relationship with the Lord, depending only on Christ’s finished work as the basis for salvation.

Have you ever walked through your neighborhood, praying for the people who live and work there? TGP is excited to launch a virtual prayer walk through 71 miles of New York City! Here’s the scoop:

Each school day during the opening exercises of our multi-grade classroom, I use a walking pad to combine cardiovascular benefits with teaching. The Conqueror Virtual Challenges offer a way to set goals and log mileage/progress. Because my husband pastors in New York state, the NYC medal caught my attention. Their app provides me with a map and street view of walking through the city, so the plan is to take a screenshot of each day’s location, and use it as the springboard for TGP prayer requests. Each Monday – Friday should see 1-2 miles’ progress on our prayer walk through the city. TGP will continue to post Saturday Morning Recaps and Sunday international requests.

If you know anyone who might be interested in joining the TGP team, please encourage them to sign up! Feel free to direct any questions to targetedglobalprayer@gmail.com.

Let’s hit the streets together! As always, thank you for praying!

Matthew 9:36-38
