Pray for an upcoming visit from A, a student who was very active in our fellowship from India. Pray that God would bring Christians into her life in her new job in Texas and that He would open doors to spiritual conversations while she comes to spend a weekend with us. Pray that God would clear her mind to perceive truth and act on it.
Lyn | 3 years | Prayed 20 time(s)Pray for the upcoming "Thrive" meetings (on-line women's meetings), especially the one in February, that God would anoint that time and that it would meet a deep need for women who are fearful. Pray that God would anoint our team as we plan and pray. Pray that many women would be prompted to come and embrace hope.
Lyn | 3 years | Prayed 19 time(s)Please pray for the 2 internationals I have met over the passed 3 months from Uganda & Nigeria. Neither have financial funding and are struggling to pay rent, let alone tuition. I'm helping them with food from church. They are Believers and have been praying & fasting as they fill out applications for financial assistance. So far, nothing has come through. They can only work 20 a wk on campus. Then yesterday, I was introduced to another from Nigeria, who couldn't continue his program because of the tuition debt he has already incurred. They each need a MIRACLE of provision. Pray with me that Jehovah Jirah provides all they need to complete their degrees...they have just started, though they have degrees back home. Thank you! If you know of any scholarships or grants that could help them please let me know (Denver).

Becky | 3 years | Prayed 32 time(s)I am praying for many international students to connect with Becky and other ISI missionaries at CU Boulder and with other ISI missionaries at other colleges and universities, to create new opportunities to start Bible Studies. Dear Heavenly Father, please work in the hearts of all international students and bring them to faith in you, that they might return to their individual countries and spread your gospel of Jesus Christ, that through belief in Him, Your only begotten Son, You will forgive their sins and give them everlasting life. In Jesus’ Name, Amen!

Nancy | 3 years | Prayed 35 time(s)A. was an active part of our local ministry for at least 5 years.

SH | 3 years | Prayed 29 time(s)This is a praise: God met us in our conversational English group yesterday in special ways. I felt it was a direct result of time spent in prayer this week with ISI. New women came, one a new refugee from Afghanistan. Another woman, watching our group as we met in a park outside, saw us and came up afterwards inquiring about our group. She herself a refugee from Eritrea! She will now be in our group. Fingerprints of God all over our meeting. Glory be to the Lord who hears us and does great things!
Nancy | 3 years | Prayed 30 time(s)Isaiah 30:21 And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, "This is the way, walk in it," when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left. Lord, thank you for your direction, your guidance. Show us which way to go
