"You heard the sound of my pleading when I cried to You for help.” (Psalm 31:22b)

WORLD LEADER - 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 Lee Hsien Loong of Singapore (southeastern Asia, between Malaysia and Indonesia).

FULAKUNDA OF SENEGAL, GUINEA-BISSAU AND THE GAMBIA (FOO-lah-KOON-dah) - Workers write: “This month, we will be joined by two very brave young women. They will be ‘roughing it’ for more than a month as they attempt to share the Gospel broadly with minimal language acquisition. They will be living with a national family and going out every day to try and share the Gospel through solar-powered audio devices that contain voice recordings of portions of the Bible. Please pray for these young women as they are away from family and friends for their first extended period of time and as they dive headfirst into a new culture and try to share the Gospel in a very spiritually dark place. Pray that their work will be effective, that they will know our Father’s peace, and that they will draw closer to Him through this time.”

SORANI AND BEHDINI KURDS OF CENTRAL ASIA (so-RAHN-ee, bah-DEEN-ee) - “In March, you were asked to pray as the Nowruz holiday was observed. Praise God for the opportunities He gave many local workers to participate in Nowroz celebrations with nationals! One family was invited to travel and spend the weekend with their neighbors’ family in a nearby city. They spent several days with the family, were welcomed into their home, met extended family members, and celebrated the holiday with them. The men were able to talk on a deeper level about spiritual matters. Thank the Lord for this time of sharing and fellowship! Another set of local workers was able to deepen their relationship with a seeking friend and meet her family during the holiday celebrations. They spent many hours with this large family over the course of several days and were warmly embraced as new family members. Join us in praising Him for these opportunities to love on these sweet families, to plant seeds of Truth, and to incarnate the Gospel!”
