Today's Prayer - May 15, 2013

May 15, 2013 “I must proclaim the good news about the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because I was sent for this purpose.” (Luke 4:43) 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). Please pray today for Prime Minister Tuilaepa Aiono Sailele Malielegaoi of Samoa (southwestern Pacific Ocean, between Hawaii and New Zealand). PALESTINIAN ARABS OF THE MIDDLE EAST (pal-uh-STIN-ee-uhn) - It is hoped that sports can be used to reach young Palestinians. A sports specialist is planning for team sports in refugee camps to provide better recreation opportunities and to build relationships. Please pray for all the documentation to be approved and for the doors to be opened so the work can begin. Ask the Lord to open the hearts of Palestinians to His love and grace. thepalteam@gmail.com PEOPLE OF FACTORY BELT, CHINA - The Factory Belt area is vast and includes several large cities. The task of reaching the people for Christ is huge, and the laborers for the harvest are few. There are just a few believers in one of the cities to share with several million people, and they know that they must seek the Lord’s help in spreading the Gospel. There is an adjacent city that also has a couple of million people, and there is no known Christian witness there. This summer, the believers will begin making several trips to the neighboring city. Please pray that they will find fertile soil in which to spread the Good News and also see some key people come to believe and help them in sharing. They want to see local people believe and be trained to follow in the Great Commission as well. Pray for the people of that gateway city!
