This week we are praying for The Gideons International (gideons.org), particularly the Shelby County East Camp. This association of Christian business and professional men and their wives are dedicated to telling people about Jesus by sharing their personal testimonies and distributing Bibles and New Testaments in hotels, schools, hospitals, and other strategic locations. The Gideons International currently minister in 200 countries and territories around the world.

DAY 1: Pray for the Shelby County East Camp. Pray for them to be men and women of God’s Word. Pray that they would boldly share their faith in Jesus while distributing God’s Word. Pray that they would faithfully seek God each day and desire to love Him more.

DAY 2: Pray for the continued growth of the local Shelby County East Gideons camp. Pray that more people would join faithful Brook Hills members in distributing God’s Word in Shelby County.

DAY 3: Pray for the leadership of the East Shelby County Gideons camp. Pray for wisdom and guidance as they meet twice each week to pray for local churches, pastors, and Gideons around the state, nation, and world. Pray that new leaders will continue to be developed and discipled within the camp.

DAY 4: Pray for the Shelby County East Camp’s relationships with local churches and schools. Pray for more opportunities to share about the ministry of The Gideons and to champion God’s work worldwide. Pray for increased opportunities and access for the local camp to distribute God’s Word to Shelby County schools.

DAY 5: Pray for the 250,000+ men and women of The Gideons International in 200+ countries, territories, and possessions around the world as they distribute God’s Word. Pray that God would use their loving witness to reveal Himself to people globally.

DAY 6: Pray for the Gideons’ Faith Fund Rallies that raise money to cover the costs of the Bibles they distribute. Pray that God would continue to provide in abundance through these rallies in the upcoming year. Pray that God would meet the financial needs of camps located in areas that cannot afford to pay for the Bibles themselves.

This week we are praying for our long termers, Caleb and Beth, serving in Southeast Asia. Most of the population where they live is Muslim 70% of the population still unreached or completely unengaged with the gospel.

DAY 1: Pray for the local fellowships to catch a vision for discipleship and gospel outreach to their neighbors and immigrants who are coming to their community. Ask God to give them a passion for sharing the gospel with others and that He would remove barriers to sharing the Good News.

DAY 2: Pray for Beth as she seeks to develop friendships with local women. Ask God to lead her to women of peace who would be interested in spiritual conversations. Pray that the women she is currently discipling will grow in their knowledge and faith in the Lord.

DAY 4: Pray that Caleb as he mobilizes his staff to meet the physical and spiritual needs of their clients. Ask God to give them opportunities to share the love of Christ.

DAY 5: Pray that Caleb and Beth will grow in their love for Christ and for one another. Pray that they would parent their girls with love, patience, and joy and demonstrate the love of Christ to their children.

DAY 6: Pray for Caleb’s physical health and a recent kidney diagnosis. Pray that God will heal his body through future treatment options or supernaturally.
