| Prayer requests on the website are updated every Monday-Friday at 9:30 a.m., EST October 2, 2013 “All of you, take up My yoke and learn from Me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for yourselves. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” (Matthew 11:29-30) WORLD LEADER - “Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence” (1 Timothy 2:1-2). Please pray today for President Francois Bozize of Central African Republic (central Africa, north of Democratic Republic of the Congo). BEIJING, CHINA (BAY-jing) - October is one of the best times to be in Beijing. The heat of the summer is over. The air is growing noticeably cooler each day as the city moves into autumn. Jackets are being pulled from the closets and blankets can be seen airing out on balconies as people begin to prepare for the coming winter weather. The month began with the celebration of National Day, roughly equivalent to the Fourth of July in the United States. It is a time when schools and businesses take a brief vacation before diving into the daily grind of work and classes until the next holiday at Chinese New Year. The city is spruced up and decorated with flowers and banners. There is usually a large celebration in Tiananmen Square. One of the most striking and beautiful sites in the city can be seen from Fragrant Hills, to the northwest. Every year, thousands of tourists come to see and walk through the spectacular natural scenery of the flaming red of tree leaves as they blanket the entire mountain. It is an amazing and beautiful sight to see. Pray that the power of the Master Designer of the universe will speak loudly through His creation. Pray for opportunities as families and friends gather to point people to the precious gift of Jesus. FAR EASTERN PLAINS PEOPLES OF SOUTH ASIA - These last eight weeks, a group of 25 believers from one church have been doing an intense training called “Be Transformed,” which involves a weekly teaching session followed by homework and practical application. The study is about renewing our minds with truth by depending on the Holy Spirit in the midst of the problems of life. As the study wraps up this month, pray that these believers (many of whom are new believers) will truly experience breakthrough and victory as they allow the Holy Spirit to transform them. Pray also that they will have a burden to share the truths they have learned with others.
