Prayers for April 28 to May 4 To the Global Company of Intercessors Even as I write today I hear of all those that have died in recent earthquakes. Many others have been injured. Pray for the wounded survivors, rescuers and those who are mourning the lost of loved ones. Let us be about the Father s business, asking the Lord of the Harvest to send forth laborers to every tribe and nation. We serve a God who hears and answers prayers. Thank you for taking a few minutes each day to unite in prayer with believers from many lands! Your Partner in Prayer, Germaine April 28 Prayer #2 for Congo-DRC Father-God, we are the church praying with and for our brothers and sisters who live in Congo-DRC. Together we take our stand against the antichrist spirits and ask You to confuse their plans to do evil in the land. Thank You for every disciple who walks according to the Spirit and helps bear the burdens of new believers. Give none up to the will of their adversaries. Instead give them shepherds who will teach how to put off the old man and put on the new man created in Christ Jesus, our Lord. Expose the dirty clothes of the old way of living and give them the courage to fling off witchcraft and false teachings, animistic thought patterns, occult influences and fear of witchcraft. Holy Spirit, we thank You for helping the Body of Christ to be mentally and spiritually remade, to put on the clean fresh clothes of the new life which were made by Your design for righteousness and holiness. They will look upon the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living and wait for the LORD they will be strong and let their hearts take courage as they wait for the LORD, in the name of Jesus! http://photos.igougo.com/photos/journal/660x400/c38fcee5fb9041d69dfeeac1d8df6035.jpg
April 29 Republic of Congo (Brazzaville) Africa O LORD, God of our salvation let our prayer come before You, incline Your ear to our cry as we pray for the Republic of Congo. In Jesus name we stand with our brothers and sisters asking You for powerful government leaders who follow wise economic policies who walk in integrity. Clothed in Your armor we unite in prayer with the church, taking a stand against the antichrist spirits that blinds the eyes of the people. We ask You to expose error and deliver Your people from animism and man-made traditional African religions. Give them the courage to cast off any works of darkness that would hinder them and let them put on the armor of light that they may renew their minds to Your Word. Father, send Your laborers to the youth who were taken captive by Marxism. Remove the scales from their eyes, and give them a Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Truth and Your glory, having the eyes of their hearts enlightened, that they may know the Savior who came to deliver them from the power of darkness, in the name of Jesus! http://images.nationalgeographic.com/wpf/media-live/graphic/map-congo-360x270- cb1316028893.gif April 30 Prayer for Cook Islands Pacific: Father-God, we praise You that Niue has shut down its offshore banking industry, and made a commitment to root out evil. We pray with our brothers and sisters asking You to open up windows of opportunity for the islanders to earn a living in wholesome ways. We ask You to pour a mighty purifying flood upon Your church located on the Cook Islands in the Pacific may it be so in this generation. The prophet Joel prophesied that in the last days that You will pour out Your Spirit on all flesh. Let this be the time! Father, the islands need an outpouring, not to be successful in men s eyes; but that men and women will believe You
loved them and gave Your only begotten Son for their eternal salvation. We desire to see Your kingdom increase on the islands that You might be glorified! (Matthew 7:7; Joel 2:28; Acts 2:17; John 3:16: James 4:2) http://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/01/19/1d/41/beach.jpg May 1 Costa Rica Latin America Father-God, we are the sheep of Your pasture You made us and not we ourselves. As the church of Jesus Christ, who is the Head, we pray that our brothers and sisters in Costa Rica will go on living in Christ in simple faith. They will grow out of him as a plant grows out of the soil it is planted in, becoming more surer of the faith, which they were taught, and we pray that their lives will overflow with joy and thankfulness. We ask You to send necessary finances and resources to pastors so they can and will provide solid pastoral care for struggling believers. http://www.crtourism.com/costa_rica/pics/costarica_people19.jpg May 2 Praying for Côte d'ivoire Africa Our Father, Your kingdom come to Côte d'ivoire, may Your will be done in this nation as it is in heaven. You so loved the world that You sent Your only Son that whosoever believes on Him shall not perish but have eternal life. Thank You for the community of churches that is coming together for the purpose of presenting the Good News of the Gospel to the people of Cote d Ivoire. We ask You, Holy Spirit, to prepare the way for the followers of Jesus to unite as one so the unbelievers will believe on the name of Jesus. We are here asking for the
nation of Cote d Ivoire as an inheritance. Let the knowledge of Your glory fill this nation as the waters cover the sea, in the name of Jesus!

The Love of God is free to move throughout this nation bringing hope and peace to a people who suffered terror, disease and poverty! Father, thank you for sending help and the needed resources to take the Gospel to the unreached People Groups. Holy Spirit, we pray that Muslims in the north will see the Light and come to know that Jesus is the Son of God. Give the followers of Jesus the wisdom to walk in love and give them the boldness to reach out to those who do not yet know Jesus as Lord and Savior. In His Name we pray! http://www.unhcr.org/thumb1/4d70f6f76.jpg
May 4 The Republic of Croatia, Europe Father-God, here we are again praying with our brothers and sisters who live in Croatia.
