Prayer Guide

April 2025

“Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home.”

– LUKE 15:4-5 NIV

The Lost, Found

Please pray with us this month for the lost to be found. Our CEO, Harry Brown, shares a strategic prayer pattern he has found in Scripture to pray for the lost. He calls it the “Kingdom Breakthrough Prayer Guide.” The framework is built on four simple words taken from Scripture:

• Draw: Pray for God to draw lost hearts to Himself. “‘No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them…’” (John 6:44, NIV)
• Bind: Pray for Satan’s influence to be bound in their lives. “‘Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven…’” (Matthew 18:18, NIV).
• Break: Pray to break spiritual strongholds that hold them back. “The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world… they have divine power to demolish strongholds” (2 Corinthians 10:4, NIV).
• Open: Pray for God to open their minds to spiritual truth. “The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul’s message” (Acts 16:14, NIV).

Harry says, “This simple, biblical pattern transformed my prayer for the lost. And I hope it will help you too.”

Church Planter Kidnapped

Please join us in praying for a church planter, “Paul”, who was kidnapped in March. One of our church planters serving in North Africa was kidnapped by radicals while visiting family. Our hearts grieve with him and his family as they endure this painful time. Pray for God’s divine intervention and for his safe return. Pray for wisdom and courage for those working to secure his release. Pray for the kidnappers, that their hearts would be softened and turned toward God. Pray for supernatural peace, comfort, and strength as we trust God’s nearness to this man and his loved ones.

Please lift in prayer Sheryl and Santa for healing

Pray for the wives of two of our regional directors: Santa in Sierra Leonne has had a relapse of Bell Palsy which is a paralysis affecting her face.

In March, Sheryl was hospitalized for a couple of days with a mini stroke (TIA), which has been followed by muscle spasms on her right side, as many as 30 in a day. She is currently home and has improved to 5-9 spasms per day. She has good and bad days.

Often, we see spiritual attacks on the families of leaders which can be physical issues that are distressing and distracting.
