| Prayer requests on the website are updated every Monday-Friday at 9:30 a.m., EST December 18, 2014 “Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift.” (2 Corinthians 9:15, 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 Prime Minister Jabir Al-Mubarak of Kuwait (Middle East, between Iraq and Saudi Arabia). MEBO OF LAOS (MEE-boh) - The Mebo people are faithful worshippers who often sacrifice and give offerings to long-dead ancestors or to spirits that they believe still live among them. Much of their worship is fueled by a fear of the evil spirits and a desire to placate the good ones. Often, after hearing the gospel, many Mebo are drawn to the redemption found in Christ compared to their constant effort to appease the spirits. But many people’s interest in the gospel is short lived, strangled out by fear of upsetting the spirits or betraying their families. As believers share the gospel with this difficult-to-reach people, please pray that the seeds will fall on the good soil. All too often, after persecution and outside pressure, the rocky soil chokes away the life of the seed, leaving the Mebo back in fear and bondage. SOWETO, SOUTH AFRICA (soh-WEH-toh) - “December is summer camp time, as it’s summer in the Southern Hemisphere,” writes the Soweto Evangelism Team. “Summer camp is like church camp in the United States, with games, swimming, Bible studies, worship services, heat, fun and fellowship. Faith Baptist Church in Snake Park, Soweto, has 17 youth attending. Praise God! Through their efforts at fund raising and donations, locally and from a church in North Carolina, all will be able to participate. Please pray that they will have a desire to go and that their mothers and grandmothers, only one of whom is a church member, will be willing to allow their kids to attend on January 2-9, 2015. Pray that the seven saved youth will go strong in their faith and the seven who haven’t committed their lives to Christ will do so.” 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.) |
