Challenges for Prayer
Pray for the fellowship of Christians in Government, which promotes biblical standards among Christian public servants.
Pray that the gospel will impact to the country’s wealthy elite also, as they hold much power and the potential to transform Manila and the whole nation.
Pray for new passion and commitment to church planting.
Ask God to expose all lies of many sects and cults, and pray for effective ministry to the millions caught within these groups.
Pray for wisdom for expatriate Christians to serve in the most helpful ways and pray for fruitful partnerships between expats and nationals.
The major export of the Philippines is people. Over 8.1 million live abroad and many go to difficult and “closed” countries to witness for Christ, and some suffer much for their faith. Pray that Christians from the Philippines may be lights to the whole world.
Pray for the less-reached peoples and regions.
