| Prayer requests on the website are updated every Monday-Friday at 9:30 a.m., EST April 29, 2014 “At daybreak, LORD, You hear my voice; at daybreak I plead my case to You and watch expectantly.” (Psalm 5:3) 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 Governor Mark Capes of Saint Helena (South Atlantic Ocean, midway between South America and Africa). BANGALORE HOSPITAL, KARNATAKA STATE, INDIA (BANG-ah-lohr) - “Thank you for praying for the graduation ceremonies at Bangalore Baptist Hospital. Give thanks to God that a total of 94 graduates received their certificates: 46 in nursing, 21 in allied health disciplines, and also 27 doctors who had completed residency training in specialties. These young people are now working either in our hospital or in other places across India. Continue to pray for them as they begin their professional careers, and also intercede for their spiritual needs.” SOUTH TOKYO, JAPAN (TOH-kyoh) - How do you pray for a whole country when you live in one city? The South Tokyo Team has the answer. If you visit Tokyo and go to the Imperial Palace area near the Tokyo train station, you can find small concrete blocks, located along a five-kilometer walk, representing each prefecture of Japan with its special flower. A prayerwalk guide has been written that describes the history of that area and what kind of Christian presence does or does not exist there, and how to pray specifically for the strongholds. Missionary Myoung-Seok Bae invited some women from her Japanese church to do this prayerwalk along with some language learners. The prayerwalk guide was only available in English, but with other missionaries who could pray in Japanese, these Japanese believers heard how to pray for their own country! One of the women asked if she could “have the honor” of translating the prayerwalk guide into Japanese! And she, along with a few friends, has finished that project of love. Along with her pastor and his wife, these Japanese believers took to the street around the Imperial Palace in March to pray for their country in Japanese. Praise the Lord for these believers who want to see God work in Japan! Thank Him for South Tokyo Team member Myoung-Seok’s introducing these women to the experience of prayerwalking. Pray that more church members will feel the nudging of the Holy Spirit to pray in this manner in many places around the country!
