PRAYER POINTS

Please pray for those within our church family who are sick and suffering.

GOSPEL GLEANING PRAYER POINTERS  

• The Bible calls folk to ponder, that is, to consider what life is all about and from whence do the standards of life come. As we pray for the 12 Church Planters working among the Erukula people in India, this week we might use Psalm 119:15 as a foundation. I will meditate on Your precepts, And regard Your ways. As they minister, they will meet all manner of life problems and issues among the Erukula people. As they ponder particular passages of Scripture, may the Holy Spirit show them how to apply God’s truths as they minister to particular individuals or families or villages. May the same be true for us as well.

• Chad and Niger each face difficult days. According to the United Nations’ Human Development Index, Niger is the poorest country in the world. Chad still is under a transitional government since the death of her President over year ago and there is mounting unease. Praise God, that in each of these countries there are indigenous Christians who steadfastly labor to bring the light of the Lord Jesus to communities and tribes who have never heard His name. As we pray for them – daily or otherwise – ask the Lord to give them revelatory insight regarding how to share Gospel Truth, thus bringing hope in the face of dire poverty and peace in the face of turbulent times.
