| Prayer requests on the website are updated every Monday-Friday at 9:30 a.m., EST February 16, 2015 “My aim is to evangelize where Christ has not been named, so that I will not build on someone else’s foundation, but, as it is written: ‘Those who were not told about Him will see, and those who have not heard will understand.’” (Romans 15: 20-21, 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 for President Baron Divavesi Waqa of Nauru (Oceania, island in South Pacific, southwest of Marshall Islands). NEPAL - Pray for some servants of God in Nepal as they adjust to a new place and begin to form relationships with the people around them. Pray that they will radiate the joy of Jesus that is found only in His presence, and that they will continue to learn contentment in every situation. WASSULU OF MALI, GUINEA AND COTE D’IVOIRE (WAH-soo-loo) - “Who will not fear, O Lord, and glorify your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship you, for your righteous acts have been revealed” (Revelation 15:4). When workers first approached the Wassulu people, there was an extension of sweet hospitality that truly reflected that of the Wassulu culture and most people groups in Mali. However, the Wassulu were not receptive whatsoever to the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ at that time, with representatives from the people group in “Yarborough” claiming that they would always follow Islam. Their response was the impetus for growing a prayer network dedicated to praying for the Wassulu people, which has grown continually over the past 16 years. Praise God today for those among the Wassulu people group whom He has called unto Himself despite the cultural barriers and hardships in doing so! Praise Him for the slow but steady growth of the work among the Wassulu, as His faithfulness has sustained and continued the work in spite of challenges intended to stop an evangelical presence among them. Pray specifically today for the people of “Yarborough,” the cultural center for the Wassulu villages in Mali, and its chief, Zaccheus*, for whom you have prayed in the past. Zaccheus is a highly respected older chief among the Wassulu and has had exposure to the gospel, having read the Book of John for himself. Pray that the Word of God will pierce his heart with the Truth!
