| Prayer requests on the website are updated every Monday-Friday at 9:30 a.m., EST April 30, 2014 “Therefore I tell you, all the things you pray and ask for--believe that you have received them, and you will have them.” (Mark 11:24) 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 Prime Minister Denzil Douglas of Saint Kitts and Nevis (eastern Caribbean Sea). LOZI OF ZAMBIA AND NAMIBIA (LOH-zee) - Please pray for Gevin*, a young Lozi man who was once passionate for Jesus. He became a pastor and was mentored for more than two years by a missionary. But now Gevin is angry, prideful and deceived. He believes himself to be a prophet who can heal and perform miracles. He has taken half the church with him and is leading them down a road that does not honor Jesus Christ as Lord. Please pray that Gevin will return to the Lord and stop leading people away from Jesus! Pray for the remnant of believers who are left at the church to grow stronger from this, unified under Jesus Christ alone. (*pseudonym) M’ZAB OF THE SAHARA DESERT AND BEYOND (m-zab) - Pray that the M’zab will take refuge in Him, for “the Lord is good, a stronghold in a day of distress” (Nahum 1:7a, HCSB). These days are days of heavy distress for the M’zab, as they are being physically and politically threatened by a larger people group surrounding them. For centuries the M’zab have been persecuted by fellow Muslims who disagree with their way of thought and Islamic practices. Years ago, they found refuge in the Sahara Desert as they sought to be freed from their persecutors in the northern part of Algeria. However today, deep in the Sahara Desert, they are being persecuted once again. In recent months, a handful of them have been killed and numbers of them injured during the tribal clashes taking place in their oasis towns. With business as their livelihood, many of them are coming to work and finding their business completely burned down to the ground, with nothing remaining. Please pray that during this time, the M’zab will seek out the Truth. Ask that they will find the Lord, the Creator of their souls and their desert land. Pray that the Lord God will become their stronghold in their days of distress.
