Prayer Requests and Prayer Points
Here are prayer requests and prayer prompts to help you with your prayer. You may want to bookmark this page so when you do pray, you can reach it easily. Also, please share ISM related prayer requests by clicking “add prayer request.” All prayers are screened by the prayer team so it won’t show immediately but hopefully it will show less than a couple of hours after your submission. Also, let people know you are praying for them by clicking on the “Pray” button. Thanks all!
Please pray that Y from China would re-engage in Bible studies. She has studied for several years and made a confession of faith a few years ago. But in the past 6 months has pulled away. I pray that she encounter multiple believers, draw closer to the One who saves, and more fully commit her life to Christ.
- NGO GO - Pray for the outflow of NGO GO, with 10 participating students (all from Africa). Pray that the Lord would advance His Kingdom through the entrepreneurial efforts of these students. - Youth Mobilization - Pray for wisdom as we begin to look at starting pilot programs for churched youth to empower and equip them for ISM. - SoCal Mobilization - Pray for wisdom and discernment as we develop plans for wider scale mobilization in Southern California, beginning with a staff prayer day in September and a mobilization working day in January 2024. - Digital Library - We are moving towards the launch of this resource for all staff. Please pray for the various aspects of this project - testing, onboarding librarians, launch, adoption by staff.

Lord, may she understand the true gospel, not the American gospel. Not some good luck charm. May she see her sin and her great need of you.
Pray also for another Y from China, who also studied with me for 3 years, made a profession of faith but pulled when she became frightened of the implications of being a believer in China. Pray that God would show her the emptiness of the Eastern philosophies and that she would be so desperate for real peace and joy that she would be willing to sacrifice to find “the Pearl of Great Price”. Pray that she will find LIFE! Pray also that she would respond to my attempts to reach out to her again!
