One of our TGP team members just gave us the news that kidnapped missionary Josh Sullivan has been rescued! Praise God from Whom all blessings flow! Thank you for praying! The screenshot below is from Josh’s father-in-law’s Facebook page:

Isaiah 55:12

For you shall go out with joy, and be led out with peace; the mountains and the hills shall break forth into singing before you, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

Although the featured song is not specifically about Palm Sunday, it was chosen for two reasons: the joyful Jewish melody and the fact that it is a prophetic song that will one day be fulfilled by the Son of David.

Listen to “Trees of the Field” here (first time in English, second time in French):

Related directly to Palm Sunday, consider the last two lines from “This Day:”*

As Your eyes meet mine amongst the crowd of followers, dear Son,

May all I am be all for Thee, my Lord, the Holy One.

1. Pray for these lines to be true of many people when Jesus walks among His churches today.
2. Pray that Christians worldwide will be encouraged by joy today at the promise of the Lord’s return and the subsequent setup of His millennial Kingdom, when all of the promises of restoration – extending to even nature itself – will be fulfilled.
3. Pray for someone visiting a church in each of the 50 states to make a personal decision to believe the gospel today.

Revelation 5:11

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

The words are simple, but the conviction behind them is profound. “I have decided to follow Jesus, no turning back.” Rather than write the powerful story behind the lyrics here, you can listen to it and the song at today’s link. May the caliber of Nokseng’s faith be ours as well.

1. Pray for persecuted Christians around the world today to be encouraged by the Savior’s love.
2. Pray for Christians living in free countries to remember to pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters (Heb. 13:3).
3. Someone once made the comparison that a Christian’s life is like a million dollars. If he is called to die for Jesus, it’s like he gives God the million dollars all at once. If he lives a long life, it’s like he gives God that same million dollars in daily deposits of nickels and dimes. The important thing is that either way, God receives the believer’s life as an act(s) of worship. No matter how long our lives are here on earth, pray that all believers will be found faithful to Jesus Christ.

Revelation 5:9

And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals; for You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,”

1. University Ave., near I-95, NYC: Pray for a truck driver employed by National Food Distributors to taste and see that the Lord is good, far surpassing the value and enjoyment of any food.
2. I-87 Pedestrian Bridge, NYC: Pray for anyone in the Bronx whose life has intersected with the gospel in connection with our prayers, but who has not yet made a salvation decision, to do so today.
3. Your Choice: Please pray for a request you remember from the other locations featured this week:

University Ave. & W. Tremont Ave., NYC

Highbridge Recreation Area, NYC

Convent Ave. & W. 151st St., NYC

Sunday Songs Series: Amazing Grace from 50 Countries

Thank you for praying! There is a special praise this week: another person has joined our TGP team! Let’s keep praying that the Lord will bring us a total of 100 people praying daily by March 20, 2026.

Revelation 5:9

And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals; for You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,“

“Amazing Grace”… How should we introduce this song? We could mention statistics like the fact that it has been recorded on over 11,000 albums, and is likely the most popular Christian song of all time. We could mention its global appeal, from John Newton’s testimony that first penned it, to translations in a myriad of languages and dialects, all the way around the world and back to the United Kingdom’s Scottish bagpipers. We could talk about the joy its truth brings new believers, and the hope and comfort it whispers at funerals.

But if you know, you know… and the song really needs no other introduction. His grace is and always shall be amazing because He is amazing. And all God’s people said, “Amen.”

Listen to “Amazing Grace” from 50 Countries: https://youtu.be/BA7pdABvpnc?si=-GS1Rl1GrIP7a_JM

1. Pray for today to be the day of salvation for a person from each of the 50 countries represented in the linked song.
2. Pray for Christians from each of those 50 countries to be encouraged today by the fact that the same grace that has brought them through many dangers, toils, and snares will lead them all the way Home.
3. Pray for a person living in your town/city who has been resisting the convicting work of the Holy Spirit in relation to sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8-10). Pray for the second verse of Amazing Grace to become a reality in that person’s soul: it is God’s grace that teaches a heart to fear, and the same grace which relieves that fear.

Ezekiel 14:6

Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord God: Repent, turn away from your idols, and turn your faces away from all your abominations.

1. TGP’s 4th Birthday: Pray for many people to join our prayer team this year, and praise God for bringing a new person this week!
2. W. Fordham Rd., between Grand Ave. & University Ave., NYC: One day, Jesus walked by a couple pairs of brothers who likely routinely sold their catches of fish at Capernaum’s fish market. When Jesus said, “Follow Me,” they obeyed. Pray for a worker at Arubia’s Fish Market to have the same response.
3. Your Choice: Please pray for a request you remember from the other locations featured this week:

University Ave., between W. 179th St. & W. Burnside Ave., NYC

Webster Ave. & E. 199th St., NYC

New York Botanical Garden, NYC

Sunday Songs Series: “Cleanse Me”

Thank you for praying!

On March 20, 2021, TGP went live. From that day’s featured location of Cochabamba, Bolivia, to the current virtual prayer walk in New York City, thousands of prayers have been offered up to the Father for Jesus to be known to the peoples of the world. Thank you to each team member for joining us in this venture of eternal importance!

As we enter our 5th year of this daily prayer marathon, please pray for more people to join us. The long-term goal of TGP is to have 1,440 people praying for one minute a day, which would give us a total of 24 hours’ worth of prayer each day for the featured requests. There are currently 15-20 team members. Please pray that by the time we reach our 5th ministry birthday next March, there will be 100 people praying daily. Also, thank you to everyone reading this post who has been faithful to pray! Based on a Scriptural understanding of prayer, we believe that our prayers are making a difference in advancing God’s kingdom around the world.

But when He [Jesus] saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.” Matthew 9:36-38

1. Pray for there to be 100 TGP team members by March 20th, 2026.
2. Pray for the Lord to give you opportunities to have conversations explaining TGP with other believers who could join us.
3. Pray for the Lord to give / bless effective ideas for how to promote TGP. We want to increase in number to multiply the effects of prayer.

Thank you for celebrating today’s 4th birthday milestone with us!

Psalm 139:23-24

Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my anxieties;
and see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

Ezekiel 14:1-6 describes a situation where some leaders came to inquire of the Lord, but they had set up idols in their hearts. It was a travesty to pretend to seek God’s leadership when their hearts’ affections did not bend the knee to Him. God’s answer included the admonition for them to repent.

Unfortunately, this reality is occurring today in our country. Some people openly spurn God. Others give Him a token acknowledgment (whether for sentimental, superstitious, or pragmatic reasons), but their hearts belong to the things of this world. Even we as Christians can slip into similar habits from time to time.

Today’s hymn is a clarion call to be honest with God, to ask Him to show us what in our hearts needs to be changed. It is a prayer copied from David’s words in Psalm 139. The link below does not contain the fourth verse, but those lyrics are written out above today’s prayer requests. If we are ever to see true, widespread revival again in our nation, it must begin with repentance in the church, and then it will spread to regeneration of the lost.

Listen to “Cleanse Me”:

https://youtu.be/9Kuo3lg-LBU?si=xtxNQR_n2zyBpsFn

Fourth verse lyrics:

O Holy Ghost,
Revival comes from Thee;
Send a revival,
Start the work in me.
Thy Word declares
Thou wilt supply our need;
For blessings now,
O Lord, I humbly plead.

1. Pray for Christians to be honest with God today.
2. Pray that the lost who give a token acknowledgement to God will really see their need to genuinely believe the gospel.
3. Pray for revival and regeneration to sweep across our land.

Ezekiel 14:6

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of New York City.

1. Since last time, we have crossed into the Bronx, our last borough of New York City. Pray for the Lord to use our prayers during the next couple of weeks to make an eternal difference in the lives of people living/working in this borough.
2. The shoe store above is Skechers, whose slogan is “Good for your feet. Good for the world.”  Scripture states that beautiful are the feet of those who bring the gospel, and the gospel is truly the best thing for the world. Pray for God to call many young men living in the Bronx to be preachers of His Word, and for them to be faithful to His call.
3. Over half of the Bronx’s population is Hispanic. Pray for a Hispanic family to trust Christ alone for salvation, that they may claim the promises contained in yesterday’s featured song, “Del Amor Divino.”

Revelation 4:11

Romans 8:38-39

For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Because worship is a vital component of prayer, TGP started the Sunday Songs Series last week. God’s children have always brought adoration to Him through music, and this will continue throughout eternity. Since the focus of TGP’s prayers is for Jesus to be known through Biblical worldwide evangelization and discipleship, it is appropriate that some of our featured songs be from other languages. Such is the case today with the Spanish hymn “Del Amor Divino” (“Of Divine Love”).

I first heard “Del Amor Divino” in 2004 in Lima, Peru. It immediately became my favorite Spanish song, not only because of the song’s melody, but also because of the depth of truth in the lyrics, which are taken from the last several verses of Romans 8. The secure foundation of God’s love for a believer cannot be over emphasized. It provides the confidence to face anything that happens in life and death.

Listen to “Del Amor Divino”:

https://youtu.be/uyiNTulgfzA?si=zIK2w3SceiASQsjZ

Spanish lyrics and English translation:

1. Pray for Christians around the world to be encouraged today by the truth contained in “Del Amor Divino.”
2. Pray for lost people who are floundering through life without a solid foundation to trust Jesus, so that they, too, can know His love.
3. Pray for the top 100 enemies of Christianity to be led to repentance through the goodness of God (Rom. 2:4).
