CHURCHES:
Pray that the multiple denominations in the Philippines will be unified in their love of Christ.

Pray that the churches will be obedient to Christ’s instruction and begin to see the grand purpose of God and that more families will come to know Jesus as Lord.

Pray for the strengthening and encouragement of families. Almost 50 percent of the population lives below the poverty line. Due to a lack of opportunities in rural areas, many people migrate to the bigger cities to look for jobs. To help their families, children often resort to selling newspapers, doing manual labor or begging in the streets. Pray for economic recovery and an increased number of employment opportunities so parents will be able to better provide for their children.
