call to prayer
Bless The Coachella Valley BY ANDREA SANGER
This month the LOV Prayer Team invites you to join us in blessing the people and businesses in the Coachella Valley as we prepare to celebrate the birth of Christ. May our prayers be a gift of joy and hope for our community that each person and business might be touched with the love of Christ.
A prayer of blessing and proclamation we can use for our valley this month comes from Psalm 33:20–22. Each time you see one of the words our, we or us, replace it with “the Coachella Valley,” or the name of a person, group or business.
For example: “We (the Coachella Valley) wait in hope for the Lord;He is our (the Coachella Valley’s) help and our (the Coachella Valley’s) shield. In Him our (the Coachella Valley’s) hearts rejoice, for we (the Coachella Valley) trust(s) in His holy name. May your unfailing love be with us (the Coachella Valley), Lord, even as we (the Coachella Valley) put(s) our (the Coachella Valley’s) hope in You” Psalm 33:20–22 (NIV).
Start the Prayer Topic list below on Thursday December 1. Then rotate through the list weekly until the end of the month. By doing this we will all be praying for the same topics, on the same days, for the whole month.

World Prayer Mobilization: Yemen BY PASTOR DAVE GORDON
Yemen is a country in the Middle East, right below Saudi Arabia. Praise God that His grace is being poured out, as many people are coming to Christ in Yemen!
1. Praise God for the many in Yemen coming to faith in Christ through dreams and visions, Bible distribution, radio and other means!
2. There is a great need for Bible translation and Bible distribution in Yemen. Please pray that everyone in Yemen would have a Bible. Pray for those that are working to distribute the Word to secret believers.
3. Pray that God would raise up a Daniel for Yemen – someone who would be neither corrupt nor negligent, who would serve the people in the name of Jesus.
4. Please pray for those addicted to qat, a mild narcotic. The majority of the population chews it.
5. Please pray for the people of Yemen. Yemen is 99.9% Muslim. Please pray that they would see the light and embrace the Savior. It is illegal to share the gospel with a Muslim in Yemen.
6. Please pray for the Christians in Yemen. There is great political, cultural and family pressure to not be a Christian.

Pray that they could find fellowship. Pray that they would have their own Bibles. Pray that whole families would come to Christ. The worst persecution comes from the family. Pray that God would raise up wonderful pastors for Yemen – pastors that are men after God’s heart, that will do all His will, that will feed God’s sheep.
7. Pray that God would raise up a mighty army of laborers for Yemen. There are many great opportunities in medical ministry, education, business and development. Pray that many people would be willing to serve the Lord in Yemen and that their ministry would be fruitful.
8. Pray that God would bless the ministry of the Jesus video and Christian radio.
