| Prayer requests on the website are updated every Monday-Friday at 9:30 a.m., EST August 28, 2014 “As for me, I vow that I will not sin against the LORD by ceasing to pray for you.” (1 Samuel 12:23a, HCSV) 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 President Dilma Rousseff of Brazil (eastern South America). HEALTHCARE STRATEGIES, EAST ASIAN PEOPLES - “‘We don’t want trouble, so please do not come.’ ‘My husband forbids me to attend the meeting.’ These are the messages we have been hearing from friends who were previously eager to hear the Gospel or to receive training in evangelism and discipleship. Pray with us that God will remove these obstacles so that our friends can continue to hear the Gospel and grow in their faith!” SORANI AND BEHDINI KURDS OF CENTRAL ASIA (so-RAHN-ee, bah-DEEN-ee) - “The city where we live and work is a relatively safe urban center, yet we’re surrounded by chaos and escalating violence. At our language center named Hope, our students include a mixture of local people and refugees. Many have already escaped civil war once, and they now face the prospect of doing it again. All of them are weary, fearful, and in need of hope. One student recently shared his thoughts of suicide as a way to escape a life he hates and a future without peace. Another told of her fears over the outcome of war in her hometown and what might happen to her friends and family. Will there ever be peace? Will they ever escape war? Teachers at the language center are holding out the hope found only in Christ to those in desperate need. The Light of Christ shines brightly in the darkness. Students remark that they feel calm and peaceful in the presence of our teachers. The love they experience here is like no other, because it’s the love of Christ. As we begin a new teaching session under new ownership, please pray that our teachers will be faithful witnesses. Ask that our gaze will be fixed not on the unstable circumstances around us, but on the ‘author and perfecter of our faith,’ and that we’ll ‘run with endurance the race’ (Hebrews 12:1-2). Plead with the Father on behalf of the people here, asking that they’ll find peace in Him and receive forgiveness of their sins.” 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.) |
