Prayer requests on the website are updated every Monday-Friday at 9:30 a.m., EST February 4, 2014 “Pray also for me, that the message may be given to me when I open my mouth to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel.” (Ephesians 6:19) 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, General National Congress, Nuri Abu Sahmayn of Libya (northern Africa, between Egypt and Tunisia). HADRAMAUT YEMENI ARABS OF YEMEN (HAH-drah-maht YEH-muh-nee) - In recent weeks, there has been an increase in the number of car bombs and fighting between opposing groups. Please ask God to have mercy on these people who have such need of a Savior. Pray that those who are causing the problems will hear the news of peace and forgiveness that Jesus offers, and that they will respond in faith. Pray that violence and unrest will cease. There are those who desire to live among this people group and share the Good News with them, but because of the instability of the region, they cannot. Pray that they will be able to fulfill their calling. HONG KONG AND MACAU, CHINA (ma-COW) - The “Year of the Horse” on the lunar calendar began on January 31, the first day of the new year. This week is a joyful and festive time, as people spend time with family and friends and engage in traditional practices. But the festive time of the Lunar New Year celebration is temporary, and the people living in the cities of Hong Kong and Macau anticipate challenges for the upcoming year: family problems, housing issues, and social and political difficulties. Though people wish each other good health and prosperity during the Lunar New Year festival, many people’s hearts are unsettled and pessimistic. With Jesus, people can face whatever situation is happening in their lives with peace, joy and hope. Pray for the people of Hong Kong and Macau, asking that the “Year of the Horse” will become the year of new life in Jesus Christ!
