Country: United States of America
Details: As SRBC prepares for their annual Thanksgiving Turkey outreach, pray that they will make connections that lead to people coming to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Continue to pray for the men who are currently a part of their Elder Cohort. Scranton Road has a legal clinic staffed by attorneys who advise clients and share Christ with them. Pray for more attorneys to be available for the clinic. Their after-school programs, Good News Kids, and youth group have had a big boost in attendance this semester. This is a great thing, but it creates logistical challenges. Pray for their staff and volunteers and for the students to respond as they hear the gospel taught. United States of America (North America). Population: 347,275,808 Believers: 28.9%. The church in the USA is as deeply divided as the nation itself. The USA’s spiritual heritage has long been under attack by those opposed to the gospel, but no external enemies have done more damage than the politicization of Christianity and accompanying polarization in the body. The idol of nationalism— “Christian” or otherwise—is a blight on the message of the gospel, as is any ideology that divides or distracts believers from their core identity as the body of Christ. Pray for the Lord to raise up believers who will fearlessly and publicly place their oneness in Christ above all race, ethnicity, gender, and ideology! Everything else must be placed at the nailed-pierced feet of Jesus on the throne. May such faithful saints be an inspiration to others and a healing salve on America’s wounds. From Operation World DVD-ROM 2010 and www.operationworld.org.
