Monday

“Again I say to you that

if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask,

it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.

For where two or three are gathered together in My name,

I am there in the midst of them.”

~Matthew 18:19-20~

 

INTERNATIONAL MISSIONS PRAYERLINE
IMB
Monday, May 9, 2011

“God, You have taught me from my youth, and I still proclaim Your wonderful works,” (Psalm 71:17, HCSB).

Dear Intercessors, this is Eleanor Witcher of the Office of Global Prayer Strategy, praying with you for university students.

Team Munich writes: “Give thanks to the Lord that a great location has been secured for an English Workshop for university students, which will take place on May 9-13. Please pray for the team that is coming to lead and the students who will participate. Pray that this workshop will open doors for a deeper ministry with students in Munich.”

IMB missionaries lead a university student center for indigenous students in Colombia. This semester, they have the biggest group they have ever had eating in the meal program (51 students) and many of these are new faces in the student center. Also, the Friday night Bible studies have doubled in size. They are storying the Book of John chronologically. Pray that God will continue to draw students to Himself, and pray that current Christians will continue to grow in their faith and witness.

Recent graduates from universities in other countries are often eager to teach English in South Korea. They can gain much experience, make a good salary, save money, or pay on their college loans. Koreans can pay up to $300 a month for extra classes outside the regular school day for young people, especially 15-24 years of age, and future jobs are largely determined by the university they attend. Thus, the pressure is great for Korean students to learn English. Pray for Christian teachers to “catch a vision” of the ministry involved in sharing their faith in Christ through relationships with hundreds of students, as well as a lifestyle that pleases the Lord and is noticed by the lost.

* Please pray for the English Workshop this week in Munich, Germany, asking that God will break down the post-modern barriers and open hearts to Him.

* Intercede for university students who are hungry to learn that they will seek out knowledge that will benefit them not just for a lifetime, but for an eternal lifetime.

* Give praise for God’s wonderful works.

 

Pray for teachers and students as they complete their last days of school.

Enjoy this beautiful day from the Lord.
