Mothers

 
This weekend, we think especially of our mothers and the women who have served as mother figures in our lives. We give thanks to God for these precious people. We are grateful for their self-sacrificial love in providing for our needs, for their wisdom and support as we walk through life, and for their strength as they see their families - immediate and adopted - through thick and thin. Join us in praying for God’s mighty blessings on these women. May they be refreshed in spirit, strengthened by God’s presence, filled with His peace, and may their needs and the needs of their families be met.

Coronavirus

 
Please join us in continuing to pray over COVID-19 and its effects. Many of us grow weary of the threat and the restrictions and we yearn for life to return to normal. Please join us in praying for God’s strength so that we may endure. Please also continue to pray for those who are deeply affected by this virus, whether financially, mentally, physically, or spiritually. May they find God to be a faithful and comforting help in time of need. Let us also pray for those working to combat the virus, from the health care workers and the workers who support them, their families, and the governments that seek to make the best decisions for their people. May they each be granted wisdom, patience, and strength and may the resources they need to fight the virus be readily provided.

Hungry

 
With floods, famines, locusts, and economic downturns, hunger looms on the horizon. The United Nations is warning of multiple famines of ‘biblical proportions.’ Please join us in earnestly praying that through God’s merciful provision and the generosity of many, that these famines will not cause devastating suffering. Please pray that families and leaders will be blessed with the wisdom of Joseph, to understand how they can prepare and provide.

Farmers

 
Farmers here at home and around the world are facing many challenges as they begin the planting season. Please pray for these hardworking individuals who sustain all of us. May their efforts be especially blessed with success. May the road ahead be smoothed. And may God’s peace reign in their hearts, even as they face obstacles.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo

 
Days away from being declared Ebola free, a new case of Ebola presented in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This case was followed by six more cases. Despite all signs pointing otherwise, the outbreak is not yet over. Please join us in praying that this fresh round of cases will not lead to another large outbreak. Please pray for those fighting the disease, that they will be successful in containing the disease and bringing an end to the suffering it causes. Please also pray for those affected by the disease, whether physically, financially, or emotionally. May they be sustained, protected, and provided for.

While the country battles Ebola in one region, another has been devasted by spring floods. At least 36 people have been killed by the inundation. Over 77,000 have lost their homes and need shelter. Please join us in praying for those affected by this disaster. May their immediate needs of shelter, safety, food, clean water, and sanitation be met. May additional complications that can be caused by disasters, such as the spread of disease, be kept at bay. Please also pray for powerful blessings on the recovery process. May it go smoothly and quickly.

East Africa Flooding

 
Already slammed by locust swarms and COVID-19, East Africa is now reeling under the devastation of floods. More than 260 people have been killed. At least 8,000 acres of precious crops have been washed away. Vital infrastructure has also been damaged. Please pray for this region that is being so hard-hit. Please pray that the flood waters will recede soon with less than expected damage. Please pray that those affected by the disaster will be safe. As these countries and their people face recovery from yet another catastrophe, please pray that they will be blessed with wisdom, endurance, and resources. May God’s peace and presence be powerful in their lives.

Crises of Faith

 
We have received requests from some of our supporters for special prayers for family members who are facing a crisis of faith. Please join us in praying that these individuals will be moved by the Holy Spirit to recall their first love, that they will be blessed with clarity and conviction, and ultimately peace in God. Please pray for the family members, that they may have the love, wisdom, and care necessary to support their doubting ones. May their fears be banished as they surrender their loved ones to God and trust in the Holy Spirit’s power to work.
