Wednesday

Encourage one another daily …

so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.

~Hebrews 3:13 (NIV)~

TODAY’S PRAYER
IMB
MARCH 16, 2010

“Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving.” (Colossians 4:2)

WORLD LEADERS. “Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence” (1 Timothy 2:1-2). Please pray today for President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia (western Africa).

CITY OF NEW HOPE, CHINA. Another student fellowship/church will soon start in the southeast area of the city where no student fellowship exists. That area has been surveyed, and the new work may begin in April. Please pray for the young couple who will take the leadership of this new fellowship/church.

WINDWARD ISLANDS. The Windward Islands Team writes: “We thank God for the Baptist and many other evangelical churches present on the island of Grenada. Still, there is much darkness among many of the Grenadian people who ‘have a form of godliness’ but deny the life-changing power of the Gospel in their lives. Please pray for two new Baptist church plants in Balthazar and Requin, asking that the power of the Gospel will truly transform lives and produce multiplying disciples for Jesus. Pray for IMB colleagues as they seek to inventory and determine the Great Commission vision and involvement of Great Commission Christians on the island for future mobilization toward engaging unengaged unreached people groups (UUPGs) in the Americas and beyond.”
