TODAY’S PRAYER
IMB
JUNE 6, 2012

“Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ” (Galatians 6:2).

• 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 Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt of Sweden (northwestern Europe, between Norway and Finland).
• DEAF PEOPLES – Across South America, there are hundreds of towns where the Deaf communities do not have access to a church in their heart language. What is their heart language? Sign Language. These Deaf men and women are looking for answers in their troubled and confused world. Deaf nationals A and O began visiting and inviting the Deaf to a new Deaf Bible study. The first meeting was held in January. This small Bible study has grown and now has an average attendance of 11 Deaf, with a high attendance of 21. What a blessing it is to see this small Bible study group grow to become a church in such a short time! Pray for A and O to have wisdom as they teach weekly. Ask the Holy Spirit to touch the hearts of the Deaf, and pray that Deaf will be ready to “see” His stories and respond in faith. Pray that His Word will spread quickly and result in many Deaf following Jesus.
• FUTA TORO FULANI OF WEST AFRICA (FU-tah TOH-roh fu-LAH-nee) – Many young people are discouraged because the school year has been declared “void.” Due to strikes and disruptions of one kind or another, it has been decided that insufficient credit has been earned this year for the material to count, so the whole year must be repeated by all the students next year. This puts a financial burden on families and does little to motivate students. These young people are at a very critical time in their lives. They stand with one foot rooted in family and traditions and the other stepping towards the future, ready to break ties and try new ideas, yet they are also losing hope and seeking truth. Where will they find it? We know that the Father’s Word speaks the message of life they need to learn, but who will share this lesson with them? How will they hear unless someone tells them? Who will go? How can they go unless they are sent? Ask the Father to raise up those who can bring the message of hope and life that this generation needs to hear. Ask Him to reveal to you what your part can be in seeing it come to pass.
