O Lord, help us & all your people to stand firm and put on the full armor of God! We know our battle is not again flesh and blood but against principalities and powers and only in You can we stand. Help us to put on Christ as He is our Savior, our Rescuer, our Champion and Victorious One so that we may not give in to despair or hopelessness, but trust fully in You in all circumstances to accomplish God's great purpose on earth! Help us to rejoice in You!!
For an Event Planner to help the Lakeland team and encourage Caleb as he determines how to move forward with planning for this semester. For collaboration with other ministries on campus at FL Poly so that the Gospel may continue to be proclaimed to internationals. Stir students to want to know Jesus!!
For all the IWC groups all over the country, especially in Tampa & Lakeland: give the leaders discernment, creative ideas, boldness & sensitivity in proclaiming the Gospel, new international women to join this semester. Thank you for all the volunteers who love the women, serving them, challenging them, blessing them in so many ways. Rescue the women from the evil one & grant them salvation!
Ed Germann - SE-GL RFD: Prayers of Thanksgiving and Praise be given to our God! We have been so HONORED to be called to such a ministry as ISI. There are day workers in manual labor jobs who line up at a certain place at a certain time hoping to get picked/chosen to get to work that day. Not everyone is chosen. The Master has picked us to go and work in His Fields! HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!!
Ed Germann - SE-GL RFD: Upcoming Directors Meetings led by Seng. Special prayer focus on and for Seng. He hears a lot of voices; a lot of persuasive (and not so persuasive) speeches that are in disagreement with the last speech from someone else. Seng is our leader. It is, ultimately, always “Seng’s Call.”
Dear Jesus, we ask for special favor and protection over Seng as ISI’s leader. Grant him wisdom and discernment to hear your voice above all others. May his team be united in values that follow your heart, have humility to learn from one another, and strength to pray together and intercede for one another. Cast down any attacks of the enemy that would stir up divison and strife. Let Seng and his team be known by their love for you and one another.

Please pray that God will provide drivers, a van, finances, and prayer support to take a group to Bear Trap Ranch International Student HouseParty in May this year. This event is hosted by Helping International Students (HIS) in Manhattan, and one of our KC students was super blessed by the trip last year.
I've had several opportunities to share the gospel, have spiritual conversations and pray with Isabelle. It seems the Holy Spirit is at work. Pray for a breakthrough for her this week in what I prayed with her about yesterday and that God would reveal His truth and goodness to her in a way that leads to salvation.
“For He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us to the kingdom of the Son whom He loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins “(Colosdians1:14) Thank You God for doing this for us! Help us bring others from darkness to the light of Your kingdom! For new and returning students and their families / may they be receptive to our message and love.
I pray that You would stir the hearts & minds of Your people in Lakeland to have a passion for the international students at FL Poly & other colleges here. Call them to this work, give them vision & conviction & a willingness to make sharing the Gospel with our students a priority. Help Caleb as he presents the work and recruits new volunteers. And for a FULLTIME staff person or "illuminary".
"The LORD has established His throne in Heaven, and HIs Kingdom rules over all>" Ps103:19 Thank You, LORD, that You rule over all the kingdoms of this world and of the evil one and nothing can frustrate Your redemptive purpose on earth! Thank You are at work in all the affairs of men to rescue, reconcile and restore all things to Yourself. You are our Hope! Our eyes are on You to save us!
