| Prayer requests on the website are updated every Monday-Friday at 9:30 a.m., EST February 12, 2014 “I will sing about the LORD’s faithful love forever; I will proclaim Your faithfulness to all generations with my mouth.” (Psalm 89:1) 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 President Andry Nirina Rajoelina of Madagascar (island off southeastern coast of Africa). AMERICAN PEOPLES - “Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have” (1 Peter 3:15b, NIV). Hope is as ethereal as words whispered to the dying in hospitals half a world away. Hope is as tangible as a pump chugging away on a new well as the project leader shares the living water of Christ. Hope is one of the many byproducts when God’s love is lived out through His people. They take it with them, along with truth, joy and a deep, abiding love. It is astounding how many people seek to destroy hope and hate those who bring it. Pray for your mobilizers this month. Many face difficult decisions concerning aging parents. Many work with multiple cultures, some have experienced unexpected moves, and others live in countries antagonistic towards the Gospel. Your prayers are a lifeline. Your prayers carry hope. SWAZI OF SWAZILAND (SWAH-zee) - During a recent Bible study with the women of the Vuvulane and Mountain Baptist churches, one of the women shared upsetting news from her homestead where she lives with three of her children and their children. (She is a widow.) With tears in her eyes, she told the group that her second son had told her, “This is not a Dlamini homestead (she was a Dlamini before marrying); it is a Shabangu homestead, and you need to leave.” Not only has he made his mother’s life very sad and difficult, but he has told his wife that she must leave and take their five children with her. This son has many problems that include smoking “dagga” (marijuana), drinking, adultery and laziness. Pray that this son will find the saving grace of Jesus Christ. Intercede for this family as they deal with uncertainty of their future on the homestead. Pray for the many women and children in Swaziland who find themselves in similar situations.
