“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:” Ecclesiastes 3:1
After much thought/prayer, I have decided to pause the daily Targeted Global Prayer posts. About 40 minutes goes into preparing each day’s city. At this point of my life, I need to use that time to focus on my relationship with God. I have sincerely appreciated each of you who has prayed for Jesus to be known to the peoples of the world. Please don’t stop praying. Think of one city a day you can pray for, and make up your own three requests. You can also revisit the TGP website, as all the previous posts will stay up. Lord willing, at the beginning of the new year, I will reevaluate re-instating new daily posts.
Have you ever wondered how cities are selected for TGP? Usually, rotating alphabetically through the continents provides the starting point for finding the city of the day. This pattern ensures that places from around the world will be prayed for routinely. Sometimes, cities are chosen based on current events, such as a natural disaster or political calamity. This provides a way to make a difference in places and times where people often acutely realize their need for God’s presence and intervention.
For the remainder of 2022, each month will feature a specific pattern that connects the daily cities. The first post of the month will explain that month’s theme.
Hebrews 13:3 – “Remember the prisoners as if chained with them – those who are mistreated – since you yourselves are in the body also.” (NKJV)
Overarching prayer requests for July’s cities:
As “June Jumpback” concludes, we will revisit the very first city to be featured on TGP: Cochabamba, Bolivia, on March 20, 2021. At that time, only two people had signed up to receive the prayer updates. Thank you to everyone who has joined us since then, and let’s keep praying!
1. Pray for the children of Cochabamba to know that Jesus loves them.
2. Pray for the Holy Spirit to put a gospel witness into the lives of every person who plays on this basketball court today.
3. Pray for whoever put graffiti on the bricks in the picture to be drawn to new life and purpose in Christ.
Matthew 9:35-38
Yesterday, members of the TGP team reached another milestone: at least one city from every country of the world has been lifted up in prayer before our Father’s throne. Today, let us join in three general requests, praying for them to be fulfilled around the world.
John 12:32
Today is the one year anniversary of Targeted Global Prayer! 374 cities from around the world have been featured and prayed for, representing almost every country of the world. Thank you so much to each person who prays faithfully for Jesus to be known to the peoples of the world. For today, first of all, pray for any three requests you remember from previous TGP posts. Next, please pray especially that the Lord would direct more of His children to join with us daily. Committing to one minute of prayer may not seem that important, but we serve a big God Who delights to use little things for His glory. One minute of intercession from many of His children will, we trust, make a big difference in eternity.
John 17:3
