Prayer requests on the website are updated every Monday-Friday at 9:30 a.m., EST October 3, 2013 "I cry aloud to the LORD, and He answers me from His holy mountain.” (Psalm 3:4) 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 Administrator Jon Stanhope of Christmas Island (Indian Ocean, south of Indonesia). COASTAL SWAHILI PEOPLES OF EAST AFRICA (swah-HEE-lee) - “Training and discipling Muslim-background believers has been challenging and exciting all at the same time. Watching them grow in faith and obedience has been a true blessing. Four of these young men feel called to full-time ministry, yet they lack the training they need. Following much prayer, we are recommending that they apply to a Baptist seminary in our country. Interviews will be held this month, and if they are accepted, they will begin making the necessary preparations. Please pray that God will open doors for those who are called, that they will have sufficient resources to complete the task, and that through their theological education, many churches will be planted along the Swahili coast.” CONCHUCOS QUECHUA OF PERU (cohn-CHOO-cohs KEH-choo-ah) - “Two young men--new teammates--will arrive in early October. Alex and Taylor are being sent out by a partnership of several churches to work with our Ancash Quechua Team for a two-year term of service. When they arrive from language school, life will be a bit different for them as they settle into an isolated area in the cold, wet, mountainous town of Yanama. Pray for them as they settle in, asking that they will adjust well to a new culture and area. Ask the Lord to open doors for them to develop relationships with people. Their first opportunity to build relationships will be with the family that owns the house where they will live (the family itself lives on the first floor of the two-story house). Pray that the Lord will provide opportunities to disciple the owners, I and C, into being active participants in reaching Yanama with the Gospel.” For additional prayer requests, click here: Today’s Prayer (If you have difficulty with this link, please go to www.imb.org and click on the “Pray” tab, and then click on the “Today’s Prayer” link in the left-hand column.)
