Neighbor Prayer Update

As a saved soul, the real business of your life is intercessory prayer.
Whatever circumstances God may place you in, always pray immediately that His atonement may be recognized and as fully understood in the lives of others as it has been in yours.
Pray for your (neighbors) now, and pray for those with whom you come in contact now.
( Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest )

1. Ask God to give you opportunities to make new redemptive relationships with neighbors around you.
2. Pray that God will raise up “men & women of peace” in neighbor communities around the world, for belivers who are working amongst them.
3. Visit the “30-Days of Prayer” website to prepare you with great information and resources to pray more effectively during Ramadan. And while you’re at it, pray for this ministry as they continue to facilitate prayer for millions of believers on behalf of neighbors.
4. Pray for other “Ethne Prayer Tool Partner” organizations & their leadership and staff who take the lead in helping the Church intercede for unreached people.
5. Adapted from this week’s “Intercede Magazine” prayer requests:
   • … the Christian community in Iraq. Churches and clerics still remain under threat. As of this printing date, the Kirkuk Chaldean Archbishop was being held for ransom.   Pray that believers will remain strong in their faith, loving in their response to persecution, and bold in their witness.
   • …a MBB in New Zealand caught in a bureaucratic tangle. If Bahareh Moradi is denied refugee status and sent back to Iran, she will likely face severe danger as an apostate.  May she (and others like her) be filled with God’s love and peace in the midst of their challenging circumstances.
   • …neighbors in the Central Asian countries. Pray that the Gospel would reach the hearts of so many hungry people.
