Praise God that a new and more contemporary version of the Bible in Greenlandic was released in 2001. Pray that many will read the Word of God and be changed.

Greenland has been Christianized but not converted. Nearly every settlement has a church, but too many lack real spiritual life. Pray for renewal and new life for Dane and Greenlander alike. The tight knit communities of Greenland could easily be impacted powerfully by a move of God.

The large number of Bible institutes, colleges, universities and theological seminaries committed to Biblical worldview are fulfilling a major role in strengthening evangelical witness. Some are experiencing renewal and growth. Some are struggling with enrollment and support. Pray for students and their teachers, that missions may be a central aspect of their education.

Give thanks to God for Team Expansion’s leaders who stress the importance of prayer. The International Services staff meets each morning for prayer over the nations and our workers. Each Wednesday afternoon, the staff prays specifically through every Team Expansion worker’s praise or request. Each month, the staff gathers for a day of prayer and fasting and celebrating God’s work, interceding for the persecuted, harvest workers, and Team Expansion goals. Ask God to hear all of these prayers and move according to His good and perfect will. Pray that His voice is heard and obeyed.

Canada is a mosaic of indigenous and immigrant nations and peoples, many of whom have retained their original culture. The influence of Christianity has seen a long, sustained decline in Canadian society for two main reasons: increased and deliberate pluralization and secularization; and a failure of relevance, morals, and theological and spiritual dynamism in the church. Pray for a much-needed revival, starting in the church and radiating outward.

The Colony of Bermuda has about 200 small islands in the North Atlantic. The world’s most northerly coral reefs and third most-densely populated country. Bermuda is an earthly paradise, and Christianity is a strong part of its heritage. Sadly, the appearance of religion takes priority over genuine spirituality. Pray for revival that brings lifestyles in line with Biblical knowledge.

The continent of North America contains three of the 13 largest countries in the world: Canada (2^nd largest), USA (4^th), and Greenland (13^th). The world’s wealthiest continent is still the engine for much of the world’s economic growth and high living standards. North America has the least religious discrimination. Praise God for these blessings and ask God to spur the church in North America with an urgency of prayer and to spread the Gospel among the nations.

Give thanks for three key note speakers at Team Expansion’s regional retreat/conference. Praise God for experiences to share. Ask God to speak through each presenter/facilitator for building up the body of Christ, His mission force.

Praise God that Team Expansion and other organizations are welcomed on college and university campuses across North America. Ask God to strengthen these relationships so that harvest workers are identified, trained, sent ,and sustained.
