| Prayer requests on the website are updated every Monday-Friday at 9:30 a.m., EST March 28, 2014 “Yours, LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the splendor and the majesty, for everything in the heavens and on earth belongs to You. Yours, LORD, is the kingdom, and You are exalted as head over all.” (1 Chronicles 29:11) 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 Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un of North Korea (eastern Asia, between China and Japan). KARACHI, PAKISTAN (kah-RAH-chee) - “You may not know it, but there is an active community of believers in Karachi and all across the country. I believe that the Lord is working in the believers of the city and that it will be through the power of the Holy Spirit working in the churches that many of the majority community will come to faith. It only makes sense that the body of Christ that exists in the city will be the catalyst in this dark place to spread the Light. A study has begun with members of our fellowship to teach them how to share their faith with those around them and why it is important that they do so. Please pray for these meetings, and ask that through the training, the people being taught will feel the Spirit leading them to those who will spread the Word farther than any of them could individually. Pray for revival in the churches in Pakistan, and while you are at it, let’s pray for a general revival within the entire body of Christ so that those who are being called out for His service will heed that call and the world will see the glory of God through the salvation of many.” YAWO OF NORTHERN MOZAMBIQUE (YAH-oo) - When a Yawo farmer wishes to open up a new area to plant his crops, he will go to a place that has never before been farmed. He begins little by little to cut down hundreds of trees, leaving their stumps to hold the soil in place when the rains come. He clears away rocks and other unwanted brush and deals with the threat of wild animals. This is called “mbanje” (pronounced m’BAH-n’je). It is very difficult work, and it takes a lot of time before the first crop of maize can be realized. Workers write: “We, too, are in an ‘mbanje’ stage as we try to open up a new field of ministry. There is a lot of ground preparation that is taking place and seemingly very little progress so far. Would you please pray for those of us who are working in new areas where the evil one has his ‘roots’ (lies) deeply embedded and a lot of ‘rocks’ and ‘brush’ need to be cleared to be able to sow the seed of Truth--the Gospel?” For additional prayer requests, click here: Today’s Prayer (If you have difficulty with this link, please go to www.imb.org and click on the “Pray” tab, and then click on the “Today’s Prayer” link in the left-hand column.) |
