Today's Prayer - May 16, 2013

May 16, 2013 “LORD, You have heard the desire of the humble; You will strengthen their hearts. You will listen carefully.” (Psalm 10:17) 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 Capitan Regents (Co-Heads of State) Dennis Amici and Antonella Mularoni of San Marino (southern Europe, an enclave in Central Italy). CONCHUCOS QUECHUA OF PERU (cohn-CHOO-cohs KEH-choo-ah) - Please pray for M, P and MX, three Northern Conchucos Quechua believers in the Andes Mountains of Peru. These men are subsistence farmers who each live in a different community. They desire to follow Jesus, but their new way of thinking is not accepted by their communities. Please pray that they will know how to lead their families in Bible study. Pray that each of their family members will embrace a faith relationship with Jesus. Ask that they will be wise and bold to share Jesus with their neighbors. Lift them up as they write Scripture-based songs in Quechua and in the local musical style. Pray that Christian music will become a source of strength for them as well as a tool for opening hearts in their communities. DAKAR, SENEGAL (dah-KAR) - “M started listening to stories from the Bible in August of last year. A missionary would see him each week and tell him another Bible story. He has accepted everything that the Bible teaches, but has been afraid to follow Christ. In January of this year, M’s wife joined M in listening to the stories. This was a big step, because her father is a religious leader who follows a world religion. When the missionary asked her what she thought about the stories, she simply replied, ‘I am listening.’ Pray with our Dakar Urban Team for M and his wife to accept Jesus and to begin to experience the peace and joy in their home that only He can give.”
