| Prayer requests on the website are updated every Monday-Friday at 9:30 a.m., EST January 27, 2014 A NOTE FROM THE PRAYER OFFICE: On Tuesday through Friday, January 28-31, our office staff will be attending the School of Prayer for All Nations at the International Learning Center in Rockville, Va. Therefore, “Today’s Prayer” will not be available on those days. Please intercede for us as we participate in this experiential school of prayer. “All the nations You have made will come and bow down before You, Lord, and will honor Your name. “ (Psalm 86:9) WORLD LEADERS - “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 Prime Minister Thomas Motsoahae Thabane of Lesotho (southeastern South Africa). NORTHERN YEMENI ARABS OF YEMEN (YEH-muh-nee) - In the 5th century, thousands of followers of Jesus (the first strong Christian presence in southern Arabia) in the northern Yemeni town of Najran were martyred. Najran, as a bustling Christian beacon in the Arabian Peninsula, faded into history, but according to one Yemeni brother, its light has never been extinguished in God’s eyes. This brother draws hope from the Najranite sacrifices and identifies strongly with their persecution. He insists that he is a spiritual descendant of the Najranites and that soon there will be many more filling Yemen and the whole Arabian Peninsula. Pray that he is right and that the blood of the Najranites becomes the seed of the Yemeni church! SUB-SAHARAN AFRICAN UNENGAGED PEOPLES - In Angola, there are faces of those for whom life is not working at all, those who have become frustrated and discouraged by their repeated problems in life. Some are so discouraged that they question whether even God can really help them. Bad decisions follow bad decisions, with no way to avoid the consequences, resulting in a helplessness to escape their current problems and lifestyles. They struggle with life-destroying habits, manipulative and even abusive relationships, and a sense of hopelessness in ever getting beyond their current plight. They need to know about one who gives new beginnings and who can break the chains that hold us back. They need stability and long-term hope by way of a relationship with our Lord, a relationship that won’t disappoint. Can these people be reached? Of course they can! Please pray for the chains that are keeping people in Angola from Christ and trust in Him to be broken.
