Prayer requests on the website are updated every Monday-Friday at 9:30 a.m., EST November 21, 2014 “God has listened; He has paid attention to the sound of my prayer.” (Psalm 66:19, 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, NKJV).  Please pray today for Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying of Hong Kong (southeastern coast of China). JAPAN - Japanese Christian youth are truly an endangered species! When visiting Japanese churches, the absence of Japanese youth is glaringly obvious. For those few Japanese young people born into Christian homes, the tendency is to be pulled from the church from junior high-age onward because school, clubs, tests, and sporting events often take place on Sunday mornings. Japanese youth are generally busier than their university-age older brothers and sisters. Due to the incredible pressure to get into good schools, Japanese youth tend to spend much of their time at school and at “cram schools.” Pray that missionaries, ministry organizations, and churches will have a vision and commitment to getting the Gospel effectively to the Japanese youth. Pray that God will raise up Japanese youth who are faithful in reaching and discipling their friends and families. MARSEILLE, FRANCE (mar-SAY) - Team Marseille writes: “November brings Thanksgiving, and it also brings a time when we can show our friends here what we are thankful for: Jesus Christ. In an attempt to celebrate this American holiday with French people, we will be renting a room and sharing with these friends both food and our thankfulness in Jesus. We are planning on inviting around 80 people. Pray with us that each one will leave knowing that they, too, can be thankful to God.” 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.)
