Prayer for Eurasia

By Jerry L. Parsley - Eurasia AGWM Regional Director

Dear Heavenly Father,

I come before you in awe of your wondrous power at work in Eurasia today. It is beyond anything missionaries dared to dream of only a few years ago. Through creative outreaches and “out-of-the-box” ministries, the gospel is penetrating spiritually dark areas.

During the past year, a Chi Alpha team broke barriers, both culturally and spiritually, in Kyrgyzstan. As team members made friends and shared the gospel with high school and college students, they found ready hearts eager to receive. May the work they planted continue to grow and flourish, even after they return to the United States.

The Middle East and North Africa area continues to be the focus of worldwide attention. You are attentive to it as well. By your Spirit, you are calling workers to establish a presence in “closed” countries and build relationships with people so desperate for hope. Please guide those who live in restrictive environments. Help them to be open to your leading as they develop ministries that reflect your love. Bind every hindrance of the enemy, and let your power and peace be evident.

I am so thankful for what you are doing in Southern Asia. This area appears to be on the verge of a mighty move of your Spirit. Nepal, formerly known as the world’s only “totally Hindu” nation, is now experiencing a groundswell of revival. Believers are trekking the harsh Himalaya Mountains to take the good news to remote villages. Across Southern Asia, we desperately need more workers. Give us wisdom and direction to reach the waiting harvest. We dare not let it wither and die.

Politically and economically, the CIS/Baltics area has struggled to find itself following the fall of communism. A vibrant church has emerged after years of oppression, but it faces overwhelming needs. An entire generation of children and youth is growing up with no knowledge of the truth. I pray for the university fellowship as it plants ministries on campuses throughout Russia. Give strength to those who are giving Your Word to youth in public schools across the area. May their efforts make a difference in the lives of people and in nations.

O God, as I cry out for the millions in Eurasia who don’t know you, I trust you in faith to continue the work you have started. Call workers to Eurasia and grant them anointing and strength. Continue to give us eyes of faith for a mighty outpouring on this spiritually parched region that is so thirsty for Living Water.

In Jesus’ name I pray.
