 Pray for our brothers and sisters in India. Pray for their strength in the face of persecution and boldness to witness for Christ.

Bhutanese law prohibits the gathering of Christians outside of their homes. Public preaching results in immediate fines and imprisonment. Despite the many trials our persecuted brothers and sisters go through, GOD is FAITHFUL to answer prayer. Pray for miracles that would reveal God’s faithfulness and cause many persecutors to turn from violence to the Lord of Peace.

1 Peter 4:12-13 says, “Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed.” Pray that persecuted believers are overjoyed as they wait for the revelation of Christ’s glory through their sufferings.

On this designated Day of Prayer and Fasting, pray for undivided attention of every International Services worker to worship God and pray for neighbors and nations.

Praise God for churches in unreached places that are continuing to multiply despite persecution, remote access and other hindrances. Pray for many around the world who are being persecuted for their faith on a daily basis. Lift up families of those who have lost loved ones because of their faith.

S had to spend the night in jail because he could not pay the child support that he is being charged since his father-in-law obligated his wife to divorce him for becoming a Christian. Ask God to supply all his needs, increase his faith, and restore to him his family.

Persecution is real in places all over the world. Pray for hearts to be changed to follow the Prince of Peace.

Pray for the success of the Global Alliance Summit and the impact it can make on unreached peoples of the world. Pray for responsive hearts to the vision for God’s mission to the nations, and pray for receptive hearts to give in extraordinary measures – to the glory of God!

Pray that together as a community of faith the individuals attending the Global Alliance Summit would sense God’s inspiration and motivation to give like they have never given before to impact not only California but the whole world as well.

Give thanks for God’s orchestration of the Global Alliance Summit in California. Pray that the weekend is more than a fun experience but that it will be a weekend to get in touch with God’s calling for each person attending, as well as for God’s mandate to the church worldwide.
