The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
The righteous person may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all.
Psalm 34: 17-19

PRAYER REQUESTS FOR
August 7, 2026
Please pray that…
… Maldivian people would have God-ordained interactions with Christian tourists and migrant workers. Pray for creative ways for Jesus-followers to grow, fellowship, and witness in a highly restrictive context.
… Idir, a new believer from North Africa, and his two friends will grow in their new relationship with Jesus. Initially, they were not open to the gospel but agreed to meet with a global worker to read the Bible. During one meeting, when the global worker prayed for them, they felt the Holy Spirit’s power. Three days later, all three men professed Jesus as Lord and were baptized.
… the unreached nomadic Afar people would receive a witness of the gospel that would lead to their salvation. Pray that Christian workers ministering in extremely difficult conditions would be encouraged to persevere.
IN THE NEWS: SUDAN
Since the beginning of Sudan’s latest civil war in 2023, the Nuba Mountains area in South Korofan state has become a refuge for more than 2 million people fleeing the capital city and other areas where conflict has raged. The Nuba Mountains is now being used as a staging area for the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) as they oppose the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF)—and is becoming a new front line in the war. This area counts a strong Christian minority, and church leaders and believers have been increasingly targeted, torture, killed, and kidnapped. One reporter points out, “Both the RSF and the SAF are Islamist forces that have attacked displaced Christians on accusations of supporting the other’s combatants.”
Please pray for our brothers and sisters here.
-
Pray for divine protection for pastors and believers, and for the release of those who remain captive. Pray that the Holy Spirit would encourage them and draw them closer to their Lord and Savior.
-
Many Nuba people who claim to be Christians also seek help and provision through animistic practices. Pray that God would show himself more powerful and faithful, that they may serve Him alone.
-
Pray for those ministering to the displaced, scattered throughout at least 15 camps. Pray for miraculous provision for locals and refugees in this poverty-stricken area, and for the salvation of many who are seeking true peace.

Additional Prayer
Requests
PRAY FOR TOGO
On August 5 and 6, some 20,000 church leaders, missionaries, and church planters from Togo and other African countries, as well as leaders from the United States, Europe, and Asia, participated in a summit organized by a coalition of five evangelical missions. This event is part of the “Togo Achieve” program, an initiative aimed at planting a church in every village in Togo that lacks one by the end of 2027. Pray that this summit will serve to encourage and mobilize workers to identify and reach out to the surrounding villages, particularly in the predominantly Muslim northern part of the country.
PRAY FOR CUETA, SPAIN
Ceuta, the Spanish enclave on the North African coast, continues to face a severe humanitarian crisis following the recent mass influx of migrants from Morocco. Although many have returned, thousands remain stranded in the city, including a large number of unaccompanied minors. Shelters are overwhelmed, humanitarian resources are stretched, and many families are still searching for missing loved ones. Spanish and European officials continue working to address both the immediate humanitarian needs and the broader border crisis.
Prayer Requests
-
Pray that God will protect vulnerable migrants—especially children—and provide food, shelter, medical care, and hope.
-
Pray for wisdom and compassion for Spanish and European leaders as they respond to this humanitarian emergency.
-
Pray that churches and Christian ministries will have opportunities to demonstrate Christ's love and share the hope of the Gospel with those in need.
PRAY FOR ALGERIA
“Fragile but faithful,” one report calls the evangelical church in Algeria. Since 2017, the Islamic government has closed all but one of the 47 churches in the EPA (Protestant Church of Algeria), pushing the believers into “an internal exile.” But church leaders report that, despite the risks, many members continue to meet in small family groups, and share communion, baptize, and give charitable help to others.
Let’s pray.
-
The authorities have left one EPA church open due to influential people who are part of the congregation. Pray that the Lord would use the witness of these faithful, key people to bring about a change in attitude toward the Church and her Lord.
-
Pray for those who now lack regular fellowship and biblical teaching. Some turn to the Internet and social media for spiritual guidance, which leads some into faith-distorting heresy.
-
Pray for a favorable Supreme Court ruling for a Christian who has been indicted and fined for sharing online Bible courses.
