| Prayer requests on the website are updated every Monday-Friday at 9:30 a.m., EST February 27, 2014 “(God our Savior) desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” (1 Timothy 2:4) 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 Enrique Pena Nieto of Mexico (southern North America). HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM (HOE-chee-men) - “Eight of us sat in a circle on the floor of the 15- by 15-foot room that is home to Duc* and Thuy* and their 2-year-old daughter. Most all new believers, they eagerly searched in their Bibles to find the next Scripture reference we would study, the first ones finding it calling out the page number to those still looking. It’s impossible not to be moved by the contagious faith and passion for God of these young factory workers.” Praise God for a handful of young factory workers who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ! They are growing in discipleship and faithfully studying the Scriptures. They have a vision for reaching their co-workers and branching out to workers of other factories as well. Pray that each of these workers will see fruit in new believers as they share. Pray that each will be able to disciple those they lead to Christ and start a new church beyond their own. Pray for God’s kingdom to multiply among this population and, in turn, throughout all of this city and country. (*pseudonyms) LUGBARA OF UGANDA (loog-BAR-ah) - Three married couples are continuing to meet monthly to encourage each other in their own marriage and parenting relationships. There are many married couples all around them who have troubled relationships. Many spouses carry bitterness and do not have the opportunity or skills to begin sharing their hurt to find reconciliation. The default is to use cultural rituals in front of the extended family, which is expensive, shameful and sometimes involves witchcraft. God’s plan for marital oneness and resolving conflicts seems to be unknown, and some couples have lost hope. God has provided marriage as a wonderful picture of His own love for us and a live demonstration of what forgiveness and restoration is all about. Pray that God will lead this group to know who to engage in these marriage encouragement opportunities. Should it be informal or formal? How many couples are manageable? They could easily become overwhelmed and neglect their own marriages and families, so this needs a lot of wisdom. Several couples are requesting help. Pray for wisdom and direction so that this group can be used by God to bring His healing and reconciliation.
