Increase in L.A.
Ask the Lord to release much prayer and to strengthen the gospel atmosphere so that it is full of life, love, and fruit-bearing (John 15:17 & note). Lord, through us reach relatives, students, friends, neighborhoods, and work places, and recover dormant and backslidden saints so that there are at least 1000 meeting with the church before the end of 2013.
United States
“I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings be made on behalf of all men; on behalf of kings and all who are in high position, that we may lead a quiet and tranquil life in all godliness and gravity. This is good and acceptable in the sight of our Savior God, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the full knowledge of the truth.”
Let us pray for “all who are in high position” so that God’s economy may advance further.

- The Lord is moving strongly in Ethiopia yet only one person is serving full time there. There are many churches in multiple nations in West Africa yet only two people are serving full time there. Lord, raise up and develop local full timers.
