THU: PRAY FOR ASIAN TRIBAL CHURCHES & LIT. EVANGELISM
1) SEHC DONORS AND INTERCESSORS: You may one day realize an amazing thing – many people unrelated and unknown to you actually came to know Christ through your contributions. We give thanks to all who supported the ministry.
2) LITERARY MINISTRY: A sister in Christ found complimentary copies of pagan literature in a hotel room overseas and was quite worried. Media is advanced nowadays, but printed materials still have great influence. Pray for believers to turn their focus on and use literary materials.
3) LOCAL CHURCHES AND BRETHREN IN EVANGELISM: Someone who got sick of receiving tracts said he would believe it if he received 100 copies because he thought it was impossible. In the end, he accepted Christ because it really happened. Pray for God to edify the faith and perseverance of the brethren in outreach.

2) PERSECUTED BELIEVERS: Co-workers reported that in India, the risk of being attacked or arrested remained high. We are not battling the flesh but the spiritual, and by God’s power we shall break through Satan’s schemes. Pray for the faith and safety of believers there.
3) “SONG OF A WANDERER”: The book had been published and reprinted for over 20 years, blessing many intellectuals. The economic downturn has dampened the spirits of many today, especially new graduates who become unemployed as soon as they leave school. Pray for 20k newly reprinted copies of this book to uplift many in the APAC region.
SAT: PRAY FOR THE MISSION MINISTRY OF ASIAN CHURCHES
1) YOUTH MINISTRY: Global instability and natural disasters have caused many youth to be unsure and disillusioned about the future. Many have turned to esoteric practices like fortune telling for answers. Pray for more churches to pay attention to materials that can offer real answers for these young people.
2) TRACTS FOR MOTHERS AND FATHERS DAY: While the love of parents is vast like the mountains and seas, there is nevertheless a limit to it, whereas God’s love is higher than mountains and deeper than seas and leads all who believe into eternal life. Pray for more to use these tracts to help people understand and receive His immeasurable love.
3) PRAYERS FOR THE UNWELL: We thank God that Rev. Lin Zimin has recovered and back in ministry. Bro. Xin has also gotten better and can walk a little now. Pray for the targeted cancer therapy of Sis. Irene Lim, Rev. Kao’s leg weakness, and for Sis. Xiaoyang’s cancer to come under control.
