1. Pray for the Lampung Peminggir people of Indonesia. This unreached people group has a population of 837,000. Their main religion is Islam, and 0.00% of the people are evangelical. Pray for education and jobs to come along, as well as the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ to capture their hearts.
2. Pray for our nation and its leader. Our nation is in a bad state right now, and could get a lot worse. Pray that ultimately God’s will be done in all situations, and that our leaders would heed to the words of God.
3. Pray for a return to the truth in the church, and a unification amongst the churches. There is too much disagreement today to be effective for Christ.
4. Pray for courage to accomplish the will of God.
1. Pray for the Northern Uzbek people of Uzbekistan. This unreached people group has a population of 21,846,000. Only 0.04% of the people are evangelicals. The main religion is Islam. Pray for God to raise up a willing heart to go spread the love of Christ to these people.
2. Pray for the glory of God to be revealed within our lives.
3. Pray for the leaders of the church as they continue to lead God’s people through these times.
4 .Pray for understanding of God’s word and a willingness to share with others.
1. Pray for President Obama as he undertakes the difficult task of leading our nation. Pray for wisdom in his decisions.
2. Pray for the Freedom of Choice Act.
3. Pray for a revival to take place WITHIN the church today. We need to not ask God to send revival to the nations, but rather that God would send revival to the church, so we, as a body, start doing the job we were called to.
4. Pray for the unreached people groups of the world.
1) Pray for the Berber, Warain people of Morocco . There are 281,000 people in this group of unreached peoples. The main religion is Islam, and 0% of the people are evangelicals.
2) Pray for the upcoming Presidential term, especially the Freedom of Choice Act. The FOCA is a devestating bill that will forever change the nation.
3) Pray for revival within the church. A revival that would encourage the church to do our jobs and evangelize the world. We don’t need revival outside of the church, when we can’t even get our own jobs straight.
4) Pray for Barack Obama, as we as Christians are called to pray for those in authority over us.
So, as I stated, I’m taking a class called “The Quest for Meaning: World Religions”. It is an odd class to say the least. Today, we discussed religion and what it means. There were some odd ideas. Never-the-less, I want to see what you guys think religion is. What is religion defined as? I stated that it was a misused term, and that it is something that entirely transcends human understanding, but yet drives who we are.
Well, it is that time of year again, when I am school, being spiteful of the rest of the nation that still has at least one more week off for Christmas break 
. Anyway, I’m two days into classes, and I like most of them. I have this one class though, it will be an odd one. It is my Philosophy class. The title is thus “Quest for Meaning: World Religions” I have to say, this shall be an interesting class. I am required to go to two services of different faith traditions than my own. So, for those of you in Corvallis, if you see me walking into some weird building or something, fear not, it is for the quest of an A. I also have to watch two movies on some other faiths. The professor seems nice enough, but I’m not sure where he is coming from in the class, raised Lutheran, spent four years living in a Buddhist temple, and who knows what else. I also plan on resuming my daily prayer points this term, so tune in and join with me in prayer!
