| Prayer requests on the website are updated every Monday-Friday at 9:30 a.m., EST July 10, 2014 “[God] is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.” (Ephesians 3:20, NKJV) 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 Moana Carcasses of Vanuatu (islands in southwestern Pacific). TORCH PEOPLE OF EAST ASIA - Matthew* has a heart for minority people groups in his home country. He moved his family from a modern city on the east coast to a small rural market town out west in order to share the Gospel with Torch people. He hasn’t left his country’s borders, yet Matthew struggles with “culture fatigue.” The differences between his culture and the Torch people’s culture are great. He’s constantly concerned with local authorities who block him and the message of Truth at every turn, yet Matthew makes the difficult journey up into the mountains for the opportunity to share with those who’ve never had an opportunity to hear the name Jesus. Pray that other believers like Matthew will hear the Macedonian call: “And when Paul had seen the vision, immediately sought to go . . . concluding God had called us to preach the gospel to them” (Acts 16:10). Ask the Holy Spirit to help Matthew adapt to this different culture within his own country. Pray against the evil one, who seeks to prevent workers from bringing Light into areas that have been dark for centuries. (*pseudonym) UNREACHED PEOPLE GROUPS OF COLOMBIA - In May, an IMB missionary living and working in southern Colombia was accompanied by lay worker Andres* and local believers on a boat trip down a river. They stopped in several indigenous villages to share Bible stories, do baptisms, show the “JESUS” film, and look for new contacts. Give thanks to God for this newly formed team of missionaries and co-laborers in southern Colombian! This continues to be an area highly influenced by different groups outside the law. Pray that those who heard the Gospel during the team’s river trip will be open to the convicting and saving power of the Holy Spirit. Ask that Christians in the area will be faithful to share more Bible stories with these new and/or potential Christians. Pray that more visits can be made to the people groups along the river.
