The Hazara of Afghanistan

The Shi’ite Muslim Hazara have already lost more than half their population due to ethnic cleansing by Pashtun rulers and the Sunni Muslim Taliban over the years, but now that international troops have withdrawn, violence has increased all the more against this ancient people group native to central Afghanistan. Lord of Heaven and Earth, pleaseContinue reading “The Hazara of Afghanistan”

Continued Prayers for Haiti

Kidnappers are now threatening to kill the missionaries held hostage for $17 million. Let’s continue praying for their safe release, and for the salvation and repentance of those holding them hostage. Let’s also not forget the earthquake victims ministered to by the missionaries. Share this with others who will also pray. Let’s join with other believers throughoutContinue reading “Continued Prayers for Haiti”

Abducted Missionaries in Haiti

Lord, we pray for the 17 missionaries (including children) who are being held hostage for ransom by gang members in Haiti since Saturday. Be a Mighty Shield around them, holding back the enemy and caring for all their needs. Protect them from harm and fight for them. Reveal to rescuers the location where the hostagesContinue reading “Abducted Missionaries in Haiti”

Pray for Hong Kong

China has jumped six places from last year’s Open Doors World Watch List of most dangerous countries for Christians to live. In just three years, it has risen 26 places. That rapid increase of persecution has made its way into the booming economic zone of Hong Kong, with new laws clamping down on those seenContinue reading “Pray for Hong Kong”

Prayer for the Persecuted

Lord, we ask You for Christians all throughout the world who are undergoing persecution at this time. Give them strength and courage to endure, forgive, love, and proclaim Your Good News, even in the face of great hardship. Give them wisdom every moment to know what to do, where to go, what to say; andContinue reading “Prayer for the Persecuted”

Turn to Me (Prayer for Afghanistan and the World)

This was originally posted September 12, 2021. But the Lord asked me to come back to it here at the Prayer Wall today. Let’s pray together as one for His purposes in the midst of such great evil and darkness, not just in Afghanistan, but all across the world. Matthew 11:20-30 As Afghanistan sets upContinue reading “Turn to Me (Prayer for Afghanistan and the World)”

Prayer for Taiwan

Tension has risen in East Asia since Friday, as China has flown 149 aircraft inside Taiwan’s air defense zone, including 56 yesterday. (Communist China considers democratic Taiwan a breakaway province.) Let’s pray now, in the midst of earthly conflict, for God’s divine purposes. Lord, we thank You for the freedom Christians have had to worshipContinue reading “Prayer for Taiwan”

Throng Before the Throne

In my quiet time one day, the Lord gave me a vision. As I worshipped Him before His throne, He said to me, “Turn around.”  I turned to see thousands of people joining me there at His feet in worship. I recognized some of them. The taxi driver who came to the Lord on oneContinue reading “Throng Before the Throne”

The Miracle of Mercy

As I pray for those still in danger in Afghanistan, I am reminded of our own escape from the closed country where we served the Lord for many years. Everything changed in an instant. Our security was breached. Our names were made known to those who seek to harm Christians. And we had to flee,Continue reading “The Miracle of Mercy”

Mercy, Please, Lord, for Afghanistan

After two suicide bombings at the Kabul airport yesterday, leaving more than 100 dead (including at least 95 Afghans and 13 US troops), and as the August 31 evacuation deadline approaches, … Father God, Lord of the Nations, we cry out to You. Please have mercy on the peoples of Afghanistan and on our nationContinue reading “Mercy, Please, Lord, for Afghanistan”
