Praising God! Sera and X. From China prayed to trust Jesus. Sera just last week! May God root them and establish them as growing followers of Him. May they grow in walking in love, truth, and grace

Pray for Ashfia, her husband, Shabib, and their children, Amzi and Arshiya. They are cultural Muslims from Bangladesh doing their PhDs at UMBC, and have been loved on for many years from other ISI staff during her graduate studies, but have not come to faith. May the Lord provide for all their needs and make himself known to them in such a way that they will put their trust in Jesus.

Pray for new staff, Min Reps, and volunteers to get involved with ISI at UMBC so the ministry can expand and more students experience the love of Christ.

May church members rise up in unity and great numbers to get involved with IS Ministries all over the US. May compassion and justice propel them forward into serving and refreshing the hearts of the students.

For God's Mercy to pour out on UMBC campus so many hearts would be open to listening to the Holy Spirit. We have been planting seeds for 7 years, Lord may we see fruit from our labors.

Especially for Sveta as her baby is due sometime this week - pray for safety & health for both her & her little boy. Lord, I pray that You would somehow redeem the difficult marital situation that she is in right now. Use it to bring all of them to Yourself!

Lord, for our IWC women & their families that they would be hungry for You & come to know You in spirit & truth! For Zohreh, Rupu, Sveta, Safa...give us boldness & insight in how to speak the Truth in love to them. Thank you for the warm friendships You have given us with them!

Lord, for our Lakeland students to come to know You! Remember our prayers & the faithful work of all the volunteers & staff there - bring some into the kingdom! We pray especially for Mohammed &Erynn, for Sirish, Satyam, Gaspar, Ines, Omar, Trisha, Toby, Tom, & others. We pray for the Christian internationals, Luis, Colby, Nathan, Matheus, that they would grow in faithfulness & boldness for You! Bring them in for Your glory & our joy!!

Lord, we continue to pray for favor on every campus and open doors everywhere. People are hungry for goodness & truth! You are working! You, Lord, are the Lord of the harvest & the harvest is so ripe! Raise up new staff, new volunteers to meet the need! Give us boldness & courage, discernment, wisdom, creativity & boundless love for those who are in bondage to the evil one!

Today again, I lift up the all the preparations to welcome students! I pray for the volunteers needed to provide airport rides, help students to get settled & find their way, for all the preparations for the Welcome parties & orientations. Lord, may Your Spirit of love be felt by the students in Lakeland & on every campus. I pray that even now spiritual interest & Gospel conversations would take place! Bring those students YOU have already prepared to hear the Gospel to us! Only You can save!

"Ask, and it will be given to you, seek..knock..For everyone who ask, receives...If you then...know how to give good gifts to your children, how much MORE will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask!" LORD, give us faith to keep on asking & not give up, trusting in Your goodness & faithfulness! For Your glory!

LORD God, You alone are worthy to receive all honor, glory & praise! I come to You this morning with my whole heart, asking You even to "unite my heart to fear Your Name". You know me & how easily I stray & get distracted; forgive me, cleanse me, "let the bones You have broken rejoice" in Your salvation! You alone can save us & empower us! I worship You. I trust You. I rest in You & who You are!! Guide my prayers this morning that You might accomplish Your purposes through the work of ISI.

To finish meeting with every church and ministry in the area for prayer for international students

Students hearts to hear and accept and grow in the truth,love, and grace of Jesus! For our priorities and partners to be aligned in what that looks like for our part in that.

Pray for a great mobilization of the Church for the nations. Pray that all of our under-supported staff will experience a powerful outpouring of God's blessing and financial provision, so that money will not be a hindrance to their ministry. Pray that God will be tested and proved as our Provider, that He would open the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing until there is no more need. (Malachi 3:10)
