Prayer Requests

“Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in me his is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.” John 15:5-7 (ESV)

Nothing (of significance) happens unless we pray.

Liberia March 14-23, 2019
Preaching the Gospel of Mark

When I arrive in Liberia I will send pictures of the men so that you can pray for them. Please send me a request for pictures to: bob.burris@trainingleadersinternational.org. Please pray…

1. That the men can come to the training. Some travel several days on a motorcycle on very poor roads to come. 1 Thessalonians 2:17-20
2. For finances. Most of the men have full time jobs and take from 7-10 days off work to come to the training. Philippians 4:19
3. None of the men in my December class had read the entire Bible. Pray that they would set their minds to do this. 2 Timothy 2:15; Acts 20:27
4. That they would truly love the Lord. Matthew 22:37-40
5. That they would have eyes to see the truths in the Bible. Psalm 119:18
6. That they would learn a method for preparing sermons. That they would develop a good pattern for preparation. 1 Timothy 4:11-16; Ezra 7:10
7. Pray for their marriages. 1 Timothy 3; Ephesians 5:25-33; 1 Peter 3:7
8. There are many unreached tribal peoples in Liberia. Pray that the Liberian church would send missionaries to these people. Matthew 24:14
9. The health and wealth heresy is rampant in Africa, this includes Liberia. Pray that they would understand the Bible’s teaching on money, suffering, and contentment, 2 Corinthians 4-6; 6:10
