Prayer requests on the website are updated every Monday-Friday at 9:30 a.m., EST October 27, 2014 "The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, and delivers them from all their troubles.” (Psalm 34:17, 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 for President Giorgi Margvelashvili of Georgia (between Turkey and Russia). PHU THAI OF THAILAND (pooh tie) - When Jam* learned about who Jesus is and how powerful God is, she wanted to believe and learn more. Jam welcomed believers to her small one-room shack of a house to tell her Bible stories and teach her more. One day as the believers were singing worship songs on the front porch, Jam’s husband came home drunk and started threatening the believers. Thankfully he never put actions to his words. Even when Jam’s neighbors have mistreated her verbally and blamed her problems on her rejection of Buddhism, Jam has held strong to her belief that God will help her and that God is bigger than any problems she might have. Pray for Jam to be a good witness to her neighbors and for them to see that God is bigger than any problems. (*name changed) SUB-SAHARAN AFRICAN PEOPLES - “Last month we asked for prayer as some churches sent a team to see if those churches would be a good fit to embrace the unengaged, unreached people groups (UUPGs) of East Africa. The team came and experienced some ailments, tented living, and motorbike taxis to get up a hill to reach one people group, as well as much more. One day they were able to witness to a group of young men, who then gave their lives to the Lord. When the team asked later who would follow up with these new believers, it was heart wrenching for us to tell them, ‘You have brought new ones to birth, but there is no one there to follow up and nourish them.’ We need workers to come and adopt these who have never heard, and who have no witness among them. In East Africa, there are more than 35 people groups that have no evangelical presence among them. Please pray that the Lord of the harvest will send sowers who will be able to come, stay, teach and nurture so that the harvest will be plentiful.” 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.)
