Monday

“As for me, I will call upon God,

and the Lord shall save me.

Evening and morning and at noon

I will pray, and cry aloud,

and He shall hear my voice.”

~Psalm 55:16-17~

INTERNATIONAL MISSIONS PRAYERLINE

“The Spirit of the Lord GOD is on Me, because the LORD has anointed Me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and freedom to the prisoners.” (Isaiah 61:1, HCSB)

Dear Intercessors, this is Debbie Cox of the International Prayer Strategy Office, inviting you to pray for those in prison.

As the big door swung closed and the keys jingled in the lock, the missionary couple and two national partners were secured in the prison for worship and praise. This was the second time in as many months, and familiar faces began coming into the room. After a time of singing, the Living Word was preached in English and Xosa, followed by prayer requests from the inmates. Only after a few hours, did the time of worship, prayers and fellowship end.

Behind these prison walls and doors at Kirkwood Prison in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, are men who know the Lord. Several have come to know Him since arriving in prison, asking forgiveness of the sins and crimes they have committed. Please pray for the group of 25-30 men who come to worship and learn more about God. Pray for those who have a relationship with the Lord; may it continue to grow and mature. Intercede for the Christian prisoners who give leadership in the prison to be bold in their conviction to follow Jesus, stay rooted in His Word, and lead a prayer life that will enable them to be beacons of light in a dark place. May they keep their eyes on Jesus so as not to become discouraged.

Please pray that this, and similar, prison ministries will continue to grow, adding souls to the kingdom of God.

Remember the families of inmates, who face many hardships without a son, husband or father.

Ask God to reveal any specific responsibility you may have in reaching out to those in jail and prison in your community or to their family members.
