Prayer Days 15-31

This will be my last post of prayer requests. I leave in ONE WEEK! so I won't have time to post every day. Thanks for praying for God's work in Eastern Europe.

Day 15

Pray for our annual staff conferences in May and September that are used to strenghen and equip our JV team.

Day 16

God has provided a facility for a training center in southern Poland called H2O. Renovation is partially complete, but work has stopped as we wait for God to provide the remainder of the funds. Pray that resources would be provided to open this facility.

Day 17

A number of JV staff are young singles serving far from home. Pray for deep friendships with fellow staff members and nationals that can function as family to them.

Day 18

Pray that God would provide a media and design person to help us develop Bible study materials for young believers across the region.

Day 19

In Romania, God has provided land for a training center in the mountains a few hours from the capital of Bucharest. All the plans and permits are completed - pray that God would provide the remaining funds needed to complete this project.

Day 20

In the 11 countries where Josiah Venture staff currently serve, less than 1% of the population are evangelical believers. Pray that our efforts in the region would make a difference in the hearts of the other 99%.

Day 21

In the Czech Republic, the average attendance of a local church is around 50-60 people. Pray that the church would grow in significant ways during these next three years.

Day 22

Serbia is still feeling the effects of war and inefficient leadership. The Serbian Orthodox Church is strong and treats all others as sects/occult. Pray that the evangelical church will be bold, particularly in work with young people.

Day 23:

Pray for a new music outreach called "Fusion", which teaches young people how to use contemporary music as an evangelistic tool.

Day 24:

Pray for the Josiah Venture Council, the leadership team of Josiah Venture, as they work on making the 2x3 Vision a reality.

Day 25:

The JV team in Slovakia is training over 600 young leaders across the country. Pray for a movement of God among the next generation, and boldness to declare the Gospel.

Day 26:

King Josiah began seeking the Lord at 16 years of age. By the time he was 26 he had cleansed the land of idols and brought revival to his country. Pray that young Josiahs across Eastern Europe lead their generation in similar ways.

Day 27:

Pray for relational and spiritual openness on high school and college campuses, where our staff often teach English and lead discussion groups.

Day 28:

Slovenia has some of the hardest soil of all the JV countries, yet God is faithfully calling a new generation to himself. Pray for unity among a fragmented church, and courage for young believers to withstand the persecution at home.

Day 29:

The Josiah Venture team often encounters fierce Spiritual warfare. Pray for skill and wisdom in dealing with attacks by the enemy.

Day 30:

Young people in the Ukraine are very open to the Gospel, but our staff of 5 cannot respond to all of the open doors. Pray that God would bring additional gifted servants to this team.

Day 31:

Pray that the JV team will deeply abide in Christ, since only by remaining in Him will we bear much fruit.
