| Prayer requests on the website are updated every Monday-Friday at 9:30 a.m., EST October 22, 2014 "If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.” (John 14:14, HCSB) 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, NKJV). Please pray today for Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn of Ethiopia (eastern Africa). AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS - “Throughout 2014, several teams from the United States joined us in Amsterdam to bathe our Amsterdam neighborhood in prayer prior to a massive distribution of the Gospel of John. Pray for the recipients of this Gospel distribution project, asking that they will have receptive hearts and read God’s Word, and pray that seeker groups will form.” MANDINKA OF WEST AFRICA (man-DINK-uh) - “Just four days after the news that the dreaded Ebola virus had infected our country, I walked into our kitchen to find our house helper doubled over, with sweat beaded on her brow, complaining of severe stomach pains. I sent her home to rest and frantically began bleaching anything she might have touched. My head told me that it was most likely malaria or one of the common stomach ailments in our area, but my heart looked at my four beautiful children and cried out in panic. Living in a developing country, there is always something for a mother to worry about. I constantly find myself wondering, ‘Am I overreacting or underreacting to this situation?’ The Bible tells us to cast all our anxiety on God (1 Peter 5:7). We cannot be effective if we are living in a state of fear and panic. We also cannot be effective if we are too ill to minister! Finding just the right balance is tricky. Will you pray not just for our family, but for all of us living in West Africa right now? Times are uncertain, there are always fears and dangers, and we are striving to find a balance so that the message can continue to go out.” 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.) |
