| Prayer requests on the website are updated every Monday-Friday at 9:30 a.m., EST November 4, 2013 “If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.” (John 14:14) 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 Isaias Afworki of Eritrea (eastern Africa, between Djibouti and Sudan). ABIDJAN, COTE D’IVOIRE (ab-i-JAHN) - An Abidjan Urban Team member writes: “We live in the biggest city in Cote d’Ivoire; it’s on the coast and is the economic center of the country. Due to many long, hard years of political turmoil, travel to the interior of the country has been difficult and has often been avoided by both missionaries and nationals alike. This has made it hard for a lot of our Baptist churches in the interior to feel encouraged and cared for. They often feel abandoned and left out. Missionaries who used to work in the interior have had to be evacuated during various difficult situations and have moved on to other work. For these reasons, I will be traveling with a national friend into the interior on November 4-14 to visit and encourage our national believers. I will be visiting a city where there has been difficulty in the work and much strife among the churches and believers who are there. Pray for good encounters as I begin to forge relationships there, as this will be my first visit to that city. Pray also for the wisdom to tackle differences among the believers, and ask that they will see that they must forgive, let go, and move on so that the work will not be hindered any longer.” KABYLE BERBERS OF ALGERIA AND FRANCE (kuh-BEEL BER-bers) - “Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand” (Ephesians 6:13). One of the Kabyle churches has been going through some leadership challenges, and as they make a change, they are in need of clear, wise, leadership among pastors, elders and counselors. There will also be a solidifying of doctrine and a clarification of order among the remaining church members. Please pray for the individual who will be leading the transition process. Also pray that God will provide the church with leaders who have a heart to glorify the Son. Pray against the evil one’s scheme of seeking to divide the body of believers. Ask that each one will put on the armor of God.
