- Pray for Lee, a college student working for Frontiers as a Summer volunteer in a neighbor area. He is just completing his first week on the field. May the Lord help him adjust well to the new culture and climate, and develop in him a life-long love for neighbors, and a confirmation of his call into cross-cultural ministry. Lee is one among many college students who are on Summer ministry trips (such as those with Youth in Mission). Lift up those that you know.
- Some team members are currently on short furloughs (2-3 months) away from their areas of assignment, and away from the relationships that they have been developing with neighbors. Pray for their neighbor friends during these months of separation that the Holy Spirit will continue to draw them to Christ….as they recall the redemptive conversations, passages of scripture that were shared, and the Godly lifestyles of their Christian friends. May the relationships continued unhindered, stronger than ever, when the team members return to their areas of service.
- Pray for local congregations in the US and around the world who are experiencing an influx of immigrants from neighbor countries. Rather than fearing and mistrusting these new neighbors, may churches realize God’s strategy of drawing the nations to Himself, and may they reach out with the love and hospitality of Christ to serve them.
- Pray for God’s wisdom to prevail amongst the world’s leaders as they continue to discuss sensitive issues (such as the possible development of nuclear weapons) related to nations like Iran. May the pursuit of true peace overcome that of politics and pride.

- …for the minority Christians in Indonesia. They make up approximately 10 percent of the populace and neighbors comprise nearly 89 percent. The total population of Indonesia is 230 million. May the minority Christians — filled with the power of the Holy Spirit and the love of Christ — continue to develop redemptive relationships with their majority neighbors.
- …for neighbors in Canada where their faith is the fastest growing religion. Between 1991 and 2001, the number of neighbors has doubled to approximately 580,000. May Christians and churches in Canada awaken to this reality that God has brought the nations to their doorstep.
- …for Christian workers in Nigeria. In the 1960s, approximately 10,000 expatriate missionaries worked in Nigeria. Today, estimates place the number of expatriate missionaries at 500. However, many Nigerian nationals have assumed the mantle, acting as missionaries within their own country. Please pray for their protection and empowerment as they serve in neighbor areas.
