| Prayer requests on the website are updated every Monday-Friday at 9:30 a.m., EST February 10, 2014 “I pray this: that your love will keep on growing in knowledge and every kind of discernment.” (Philippians 1:9) 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 Chief Executive Fernando Chui Sai On of Macao (southeastern China coast). CHURCH PLANTING IN ZIMBABWE - Pray for the many people in Zimbabwe who are facing desperate times due to the continued economic problems in the country. Although Zimbabwe is now using U.S. dollars as their currency to stabilize the economy, prices continue to rise frequently for groceries, electricity and fuel, and are higher for just about everything than they are in the United States. Yet most people who are employed earn less than $200 a month. Employment still runs higher than 80 percent, so many people here are struggling to survive from one day to the next. It was reported in the Zimbabwe news recently that 2.2 million people (approximately one-fifth of the population) have insufficient food to eat on a daily basis. Pray that God will faithfully provide for the needs of His children. Thankfully, this year’s rainy season seems to be the best in years and there is great hope that people will be able to grow enough food to help them through the coming year. Pray that God’s showers of blessings will include spiritual blessings upon His people in the form of spiritual renewal. Pray for God’s people to express genuine repentance so that “times of refreshing may come from the Lord” (Acts 3:19). NORTH AFRICANS OF PARIS, FRANCE (PAIR-is) - Paris is a large city filled with people from different ages, races, backgrounds, and religions. This majestic city is truly a tapestry where there is freedom for the truth of Jesus to be shared with those who are searching, and even with those who are not. Some believers have begun teaching English in mostly immigrant areas that are filled with North Africans, and also in Sub-Saharan African immigrant neighborhoods. The response has been good, and there is excitement that some visiting believers will be involved in teaching this spring. Please begin praying now for the hearts of those who will be in these English classes. Ask God to begin now softening them to that they will be ready to hear the truth of the Gospel. Also pray for an Algerian Muslim-background believer, a fervent evangelist, who has agreed to take on a more active role in teaching and leading new believers weekly. Pray for this man and for those he will teach and to whom he will minister. Give thanks to God for Muslim-background believers who have been meeting and have been discipled for over a year now. Praise God for His amazing work in the lives of His people!
