Two days ago, my family had the opportunity to visit our city’s Aquarium. One thing that caught my attention was a large world map showing the small percentage of Earth’s water that is found in freshwater rivers and lakes. My husband and I were talking about this, and he mentioned that even though that percentage is very small, the vast majority of earth’s population lives very close to one of those rivers or lakes. This fact presented a new opportunity to organize prayer for the peoples of the world. For the month of March, TGP will feature a river or lake each day, and we will pray for the various people groups who live along that body of water. The exception to this water series will be on Sundays, when we break away for our Sunday Series of prayer for a category of church workers from the various continents.

Consider these interesting statistics:

Only 1/150th of 1% of earth’s water is found in rivers and lakes.

50% of earth’s population lives closer than 1.86 miles to freshwater, and only 10% of people live further than 6.21 miles away from freshwater.

Consider also this wonderful truth from the Word of God, the theme verse for this water series:

“And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.” -Revelation 22:1,17

“Thank you for praying, and please ask someone to join our TGP team for this series!

TGP will take a break from daily posts for the month of February. Please continue to pray for needs around the world as the Lord brings them to your attention. March 1 is the planned resume date for daily emails. As always, thank you for praying for Jesus to be known to the peoples of the world! John 14:6
