PRAYER FOR FIELD TEAM - Sunday: Father in Heaven, we bring before You our brother Suresh in Kolkata, India. We thank You for his role in leading the crisis response team. As he navigates the challenges of this responsibility, grant him favor with those around him and cultivate strong teamwork within his team.
Your Word says in Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, "Two are better than one," for they have a good reward for their labor and can lift each other when one falls. May this truth be evident in Suresh's team as they work together to respond to crises. Let their unity be a testament to Your love, drawing others to see the hope that only comes from You. Strengthen Suresh's leadership and give him wisdom for every decision. Open doors for collaboration with local authorities and organizations, creating an effective network of support. Keep their hearts aligned with Your purposes, and guide them in every effort they undertake. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
PRAYER FOR FIELD TEAM - Monday: Eternal King of Hope, we come to You with thanks for our sister Hana in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Let their lives reflect the hope of a King who reigns eternally.
Your Word says in Philippians 4:7 that the "peace of God," which "surpasses all understanding," will guard our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. May this peace rest upon Hana, bringing her comfort and assurance every day. Let it flow into her community, encouraging those who labor for Your name. Grant strength to those leading Your church in Ethiopia.
Uphold them when they face trials, and give them a deep sense of Your presence. May their work bear fruit, showing others the joy and hope found in You. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Prayer for Field Team: Almighty God, we lift up our brother Tesfaye to You, asking for Your Spirit to fill him anew. In Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, where Tesfaye serves alongside pastors and evangelists, let Your presence be tangible as they gather in worship. May courage quietly replace any fear he faces.
Your Word says in Acts 1:8 that we "will receive power" when the Holy Spirit comes upon us, enabling us to be "witnesses" to the ends of the earth. Do this for Tesfaye and those he mentors in worship. Let them find strength in Your promise. Prepare hearts to receive Jesus as they speak about Him. Bless the families there with unity and boldness. And may the seeds planted through their words grow into faith that transforms lives. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Prayer for Field Team: Heavenly Father, Your Word says in John 1:5, "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." Long before there were any mountains or nations, You were already God and already King. North Korea belongs to You, because You made it. Today, we lift up our brother Ji-hoon. Be with him as he opens Your Word in secret, may Your peace rest on him, and when he prays quietly and says Your name, remind him that You are close and he is not alone.
Watch over every small group of believers, and keep every pastor faithful to the people in their care. Have mercy on the people who stand against Your church, and meet them the way You met Saul on the road to Damascus. Turn jailers into brothers, and fear into faith. May the light of Jesus move from one home to the next, until people are singing worship in places that have been quiet for generations.
Keep us faithful, Father, and don't let us forget those who suffer for Your name. We look forward to the day when Ji-hoon and the believers of North Korea stand with people from every nation before Jesus, saying together that He is Lord. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Prayer for Field Team: Righteous Father, we come before You with gratitude for our sister Amina in Mogadishu, Somalia. Draw near to her, Lord, especially as she mentors young women to follow You. Remind her that Your presence surrounds her more closely than any other.
Your Word says in Isaiah 41:10, "Do not be afraid," for You "are with" us; You promised to "strengthen" us and to uphold us with Your righteous hand. Let this promise anchor Amina's heart. Give Amina wisdom in every conversation she has, and may peace settle over her home like a calming balm. Watch over all believers in Somalia who gather quietly in homes and small groups, sharing the story of Jesus with their children behind closed doors. Bless them as they carry the Good News from one friend to another. We ask that Youl would open hearts and homes across Mogadishu where Your Word is welcomed, and Jesus is known. Let open doors abound for those who are willing to share Your love. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Prayer for Field Team - FRIDAY: Almighty God, we bring before You our brother Saleh and the house churches he leads in and around Sanaa, Yemen. We thank You for his heart that seeks after You, even amidst the struggles he faces. Grant him boldness in the midst of danger so that he can proclaim Your name to others.
Your Word says in Romans 8:38-39 that "neither death, nor life," nor anything else "in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God" in Christ Jesus. Assure Saleh of this truth deeply. We ask that You would fill his leaders with courage to care for the brokenhearted and bring home to those in need. Strengthen believers throughout Yemen who worship Your Holy name. Protect them as they seek Your face together. We pray for the fathers and mothers raising their children to know and love Jesus; grant them wisdom and peace. And for those searching for truth, open their eyes to the Savior who breaks the power of darkness and brings them home to You. Let many find hope and salvation in Him alone. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Prayer for Field Team -Saturday : Father God, we come before You for our sister Miriam in Tripoli, Libya. We ask that You strengthen her as she mentors others to lead young mothers, women, and grandmothers to surrender to You. Encourage the believers who gather in homes across Libya, and give wisdom to those who shepherd Your people with humility and love. Protect the families who have opened their homes to the Gospel. Let their children grow up hearing the words of Jesus, and may young believers rise up whose lives boldly invite others to follow Christ.
Your Word says in Galatians 6:9, "Let us not grow weary in doing good," for at the proper time "we will reap," if we do not give up. Keep Miriam steady in this truth. Encourage her heart as she pours into others. Let her see glimpses of the harvest You are growing even now. Protect Your Church in Libya through every season. Hold them together with a bond that cannot be easily broken, and let their witness shine brightly in a land longing for hope. In Jesus' name, Amen.
