OUR PRAYER TO YOU IS THAT THIS RICE FIELD AND MILL WOULD BECOME A BLESSING TO THE COMMUNITY AND ITS CHILDREN.
RICE PADDY PRAYER REQUEST
Our Father, we lift up our hearts as your children to honor you. We remember with gratitude the recently purchased rice farm project. We ask to see bigger impacts from this project than we could imagine. We thank you God for the blessing of a rice mill and that even before harvest we can buy a lower cost rice paddy to mill ourselves. Our prayer to you is that this rice field and mill would become a blessing to the community and its children. We pray for Joseph and Elizabeth to care for these children with the hearts of true parents. Give Joseph the love of Abba Father, and Elizabeth the comforting wings of a mother hen. Lord, we lift up Angie, the other full time staffer in this home. Make her the caregiver you have called her to be, and equip her to disciple these sweet children. We lift up the elders of this village as they work to oversee the rice paddy and the children’s home. We speak out your blessing, may your Spirit of wisdom and counsel rest on them! We remember our leader and partner Pastor Nathan whose vision is to reach out to other remote villages in the area. We ask for spiritual and abundant harvest. Father, may these children stay safe, learn in leaps and bounds, and feel the deep love of you as their Papa every day.
CHILD SOLDIERS IN SPECIFIC AREAS
Lord Jesus, thank you that little ones are truly precious to you. You saw each one of them arrive on this earth with joy in your heart. We pray for the children in the Shan States of Myanmar whom we serve. We pray for your grace for every leader who oversees the homes, the house parents and staff who serve and love the children. We intercede for the children who love Jesus but are conscripted into the army. We remember our young evangelists Sai and Sim who visit them and pray that they would have supernatural protection. We call forth mercy for the children of the Karen State. We remember our leaders that we have trained there, that they would have unity and shared purpose. God, bring your solutions regarding the sporadic clashes between the Burmese Military and the Karen these past months. We ask for increased access to higher-risk children in this area, children who are being used as soldiers. We lift up the children’s programs in Mindanao, Philippines and the expansion of our peace modules for the children in conflict areas. We pray for the children we reach in various indigenous groups who are caught up in armed conflict, for the Muslim children who are trained by insurgents and extremists, and for access to the children coming from Islamic State. God, we place our leaders who work in these conflict areas as radical peacemakers in your hands. We also lift up the soccer programs in Mexico, Honduras, and, maybe soon, Costa Rica. We thank you, Jesus, for favor to reach the children who are deep in the violent cartel areas and ask that you would raise up from among these children mighty ones to wage peace.
WE INTERCEDE FOR THE CHILDREN WHO LOVE JESUS BUT ARE CONSCRIPTED INTO THE ARMY.
WE ALSO ASK FOR FAVOR FROM GIVERS AND THAT YOU WOULD PLACE OUR MINISTRY ON THEIR HEARTS.
FUNDRAISING/MORE DONORS
We thank you Jesus for your unique and abundant provision over this ministry. It is your work. We are participants who pray, serve and give as you lead us. Thank you for the leading of your Spirit and please lead new people into the Inheritance Fire family. Thank you for demonstrating your heart on the earth. We ask that you would continue to give us innovative and sustainable solutions that empower local ownership. We also ask for favor from givers and that you would place our ministry on their hearts. We ask for people who can give the widow’s mite, and that you would humble us and bring your blessing. We also ask that you would send those who steward kingdom wealth to us. May they feel called to partner and grow in the area of strategic impact with INfire. We ask you that would demonstrate your love and faithfulness to us as we give. Help this ministry be full of joyful givers! May the storehouse of creative solutions for receiving and giving be opened up over this ministry and all the people serving within it. Let the invitation to koinania (fellowship with others and Holy Spirit through giving) be full of your rich grace and presence. Thank you for our daily bread, for your daily care-filled provision for everyone connected to INfire.
EQUIPPING MORE LEADERS
Jesus, we acknowledge your call over us to make disciples. You call us to disciple nations and their leaders in what your kingdom looks like. Give us the wise grace to train, equip, and impart. Help us raise radical followers of the Lamb. Send more amazing leaders into our INfire community. Give us insight into the right people to pursue. Draw those who are called to harvest with us. Father God, raise up children who honor elders and become great leaders. Also Father, grow our leaders in Matthew 18 understanding – honoring and accepting children as though they are meeting you. We lift up all of our leaders who are part of our Justice Allies network around the world. We lift up our partners in difficult countries like Somalia and the harvest fields of Cambodia. We lift up all in our network of dedicated Filipino missionaries, and our soccer coaches in Saved by Soccer, who are passionate about disciple champions. We ask for our leaders to have whole hearts. That the trauma from the conflict zones would fall away like dust in the wind. That their hearts, spirts, and minds would be fully integrated into love and they would listen to your Holy Spirit. We thank you for the awesome privilege of equipping leaders on the frontlines and ask that you would open doors that no man can shut to empower leaders in the darkest places.
FATHER GOD, RAISE UP CHILDREN WHO HONOR THEIR ELDERS AND BECOME GREAT LEADERS.
WE HOPE AND CRY OUT FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO BRING HEAVEN’S HEART INTO THE EDUCATION SYSTEM AND EXTRACURRICULAR PROGRAMS.
MORE SCHOOLS
In the amazing name of Jesus, we pray for schools and education programs as the world rapidly changes. We hope and cry out for opportunities to bring heaven’s heart into the education systems and extracurricular programs. We ask that you would open funding to our leaders and that our Justice Allies network would be able to launch hundreds of new schools. We request that our peace modules would have impact and be sought out by national governments as a way to develop the next generation of peacemakers. We ask in prayer that our soccer and coaching training manuals would be translated into many languages and be used to raise up coaches who disciple children in the darkest places like bonfires on a mountain top. We believe that education is part of the key for breaking the back of human trafficking and empowering the next generation, but we ask that you, Mighty God, would help us to do this from a place of wisdom. Not just building within systems still functioning under the domain of sin, but bringing answers from heaven for the present day. We ask that our centers and programs for children will lead them away from temptation and trial and into the loving arms of their Father.
SPECIFIC SCHOOL NEEDS
We pray for the Love Your Enemy (LYE) movement. It is still small but there are already so many great stories. We thank you for the power of its testimony and how it is increasing faith. We ask for a multiplication of this message across the earth. That this movement growing out of Mindanao and from conflict and persecution areas would exemplify your heart for all the world. We pray for favor over the LYE 30-Day Guide. We pray it would reach the right people, convict, inspire leaders, and open doors that no man can shut. May we express and display your beautiful heart like fireworks through this LYE movement. May there be a generation that arises who knows so clearly you died for all your enemies and no enemy is too vile to be forgiven and embraced by the Father through the reality of Jesus’ cross. Forgive us our debts today as we forgive our debtors. We pray for your jubilee of forgiveness to be spread through every dark place our INfire leader plants their feet.
MAY W YOUR FIREWOR THIS LOVE
WE EXPRESS AND DISPLAY BEAUTIFUL HEART LIKE RKS ON DISPLAY THOUGH E YOUR ENEMY MOVEMENT.
WE PRAY FOR THE FAITH OF THESE LEADERS TO SEE WHAT YOU ARE DOING IN REGIONS AND PROCLAIM PROPHETICALLY AND EVANGELISTICALLY YOUR HEART FOR COMMUNITIES.
TRANSFORMATION THROUGH OUR PROGRAMS
Father, we pray in the powerful name of your Son that you would allow the work of INfire to create pockets of transformation that reflect the glory of heaven all around the world. We pray for peace, not as the world can give with money or political structure, but peace that comes from forgiveness and worshipping our Creator as we enter these conflict regions. We pray for peacemakers to be raised up. Those who understand the reconciliatory nature of justice and that justice is not only law but also restoration of relationships. Please provide sustainable work for our leaders, who need steady income to do the will of the Father on earth as in Heaven. We pray for the faith of these leaders to see what you are doing in regions and proclaim prophetically and evangelistically your heart for communities. We pray that even as nations shake and world systems fail that you would allow our faith to be in you. Give us loyal, true hearts to reflect in the government, education and economic systems. We pray that these systems would sense your presence, power, and covenant with us. May they recognize your coming return by our connection to you. Come, Lord Jesus, we pray.
THE TEACHERS
We ask for teachers, social workers, sports coaches, spiritual parents, and mentors to be empowered to deliver a young and rising generation from evil. We ask for encouragement to penetrate the heart of our encouragers. For them to have the hearts of long distance runners. For these workplace leaders to see the gold in the children they work with. May they inspire this generation to give still more to a generation yet to be born. We pray for the provision, intimacy, gifts, and callings of these dear, indigenous workers to be broken open, kindled, and fanned into flames so that the truth of who you are will burn bright in them. We ask that they would have listening ears for the communities, the parents, and their fellow workers in the areas they serve. Please also make them especially sensitive to the children they come into contact with. We ask for an army of brave frontline workers to be sent to the great harvest field of children, who are the next generation. Bring workers who can impart a vision of justice and peace on earth that confronts the darkness in cultures designed to shine bright with the image of God. If teachers need materials, we ask for this. If a coach needs a soccer ball; a social worker, a doll; a friend, a coffee- Lord Jesus, whatever the need, please meet it. Let them know your care today, tomorrow and every day. If a coach needs a soccer ball, a social worker, a doll or a friend, a coffee – Lord Jesus, whatever the need, let them know your care today, tomorrow, and every day. May the goodness and mercy from the purposes within your heart chase after them eternally. We pray all these prayers in the name of our God the Father, our amazing Jesus, and in the power of the Holy Spirit.
WE ASK FOR AN ARMY OF BRAVE FRONTLINE WORKERS TO BE SENT TO THE GREAT HARVEST FIELD OF CHILDREN.
