Pray for the team to embrace the disciple making principles and tools.

2018-04-05: Polako.
“Polako,” they say when kids are running too fast. “Polako,” they say when someone is anxiously hurrying in the checkout lane. But “polako” is not just a word that means “slow down, take it easy,” it is a way of life. “Polako” – sip your coffee. “Polako” enjoy an evening walk. “Polako” – What is so important that you can’t slow down, breathe, and simply put one foot in front of the other? Pray that this cultural value of slowing down and enjoying life would filter into the way people of Banja Luka spend time with God. Pray that they would hear Him calling, “Polako”, and like little children, come to Him to just be still and enjoy His Presence.
2018-04-03: Hold Fast.
“Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.” (Hebrews 10:23) Pray believers in Bosnia would hold firmly to their hope in Jesus – without wavering. Pray they would rest on the Faithful One, trusting that what He will do what He has said He will do.
2018-04-02: Waters Raging.
“I can see waters raging at my feet; I can feel the breath of those surrounding me; I can hear the sound of nations rising up. We will not be overtaken. We will not be overcome. I can walk down this dark and painful road; I can face every fear of the unknown; I can hear all God’s children singing out. We will not be overtaken. We will not be overcome.” (Jeremy Camp) Ask God to remind workers in Europe of His power when they feel overwhelmed by the responsibility of spreading the Gospel to the nations. Pray that European believers would tap into the same power that raised Jesus from the dead when they walk dark, painful roads and fear the unknown. Pray for victory and triumph among the Balkan peoples.
2018-04-01: Same Power.
Jeremy Camp was inspired by God’s Word and Spirit to pen a song called “Same Power.” The chorus goes like this: “The same power that rose Jesus from the grave, the same power that commands the dead to wake lives in us, lives in us! The same power that moves mountains when He speaks. The same power that can calm a raging sea lives in us, lives in us!” Praise God for His resurrection power and the victory over sin, death, and Satan.

2018-03-29: West Africa.
Give thanks and praise God for what He is accomplishing through a team in West Africa.

Pray that these 43 groups would multiply many times over so that many more people will hear the Gospel. Pray for health and safety for the team. There is always some new variant of malaria or some other communicable disease just waiting to ambush the family’s children.
