| Prayer requests on the website are updated every Monday-Friday at 9:30 a.m., EST September 23, 2014 "I cry aloud to the LORD, and He answers me from His holy mountain.” (Psalm 3:4, HCSB) 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 Ikililou Dhoinine of Comoros (Indian Ocean islands, between Mozambique and Madagascar). AZERIS OF AZERBAIJAN AND GEORGIA (ah-ZER-ees) - Having people on the ground to live out their lives as an incarnational witness for Christ is an indispensable part of getting the message to the Azeris. Often it takes a lot of creativity and hard work to find a viable way in which to enter and remain in a country. Pray that God will reveal His plans and points of access for those whom He is calling to share the Good News with the Azeri people. EAST ASIAN UNENGAGED PEOPLES - The Eastern Luoluopo (or Southeastern Luoluopo) are considered to be part of the Yi minority by the Chinese government, but their language sets them apart. These approximately 47,500 people are thought to be one of the most unevangelized people groups in the world. They live in central Yunnan province, China, often on the steep mountainsides where the farming is most difficult. The Eastern Luoluopo are very superstitious and blend ancestor worship and animism. The oldest male family member is responsible for maintaining the family spirit altar and all the rituals that this entails. The Eastern Luoluopo often offer sacrifices, burn incense, and wear small amulets to keep the evil spirits away. There is no known written or audio form of any Gospel message in their language. In April 2014, two believers from another people group went to share the Good News among this precious yet lost people. Currently there are no reports of Eastern Luolupo believers. Please pray that nearby believers will be burdened for the Eastern Luoluopo and take the Good News of Jesus to them. Pray that the bondage of ancestor worship and animism will be broken and that the Eastern Luoluopo will come to know the rich blessings of Jesus and all that He has for them. Please pray that the seeds sown by the two believers will take root and spread to many Eastern Luoluopo people who will make a decision to believe and receive Jesus’ salvation.
