| Prayer requests on the website are updated every Monday-Friday at 9:30 a.m., EST April 25, 2014 “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” (Matthew 28:19a) 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 Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin of Russia (northern Asia). CHINESE PEOPLE OF THE AMERICAS - A number of the Chinese Diaspora in Peru struggle to live and work in an environment where Spanish is spoken by the majority of the people around them, since many members of this people group are not fluent in Spanish. If they could speak English, even that would help them, but very few have much English-speaking ability either. If Spanish or English language classes were available to them, such classes would allow them to become more successfully integrated and productive in the culture in which they now live. Also, there are Chinese children who could benefit from tutoring in their Spanish-language classes in light of their parents’ difficulty in helping them because of the language barrier. Several Chinese have expressed an interest in such classes. The Americas Chinese Diaspora Team has been praying and seeking direction from the Lord in how to meet these needs. Please join them in praying for God’s continued vision, leadership, and provision of qualified, available and willing Peruvian national teachers and possibly volunteers from the United States or elsewhere who can help teach Spanish or English classes. Please pray with this team that God will orchestrate the unfolding of His plan regarding this project. DEAF PEOPLES - “God leads us to the right people and even to those who are teaching us their heart language of signing. I learned that the husband of Abigail*, my language helper, has two other siblings who are Deaf and live nearby. Also, her best friend’s husband has a Deaf older brother. These represent significant relationships within the larger Deaf community. Please pray that this openness in Abigail will bear fruit in other lives that will be impacted for God as Abigail learns God’s stories and shares them within her circles!” (*pseudonym) 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.) |
