Praise God for His faithfulness toward us and ask Him to develop faithfulness within us as a people in our worship of Him. Ask
God to help us maintain our focus on the gospel and it’s effect on our lives and world. Pray for God to unite us together as a faith family in our worship of Him and to teach us to worship Him in Spirit and Truth.

This week we are interceding on behalf of human trafficking victims in Birmingham. With an estimated 36 million people enslaved worldwide in various forms of sexual and labor exploitation, slavery is more prevalent today than at any other point in history. Research over the past few years has shown that Birmingham is no exception to this problem. Join us in asking God to put an end to the terrible injustice that is plaguing our world on a local, national, and global level. We are also praying for Oak Mountain Presbyterian Church and Pastor Bob Flayhart.

DAY 1: Pray for God to protect, rescue, and restore human trafficking victims in our own city who have been unable to escape their circumstances. Ask God to send his Holy Spirit to comfort the afflicted and be a very present help for them in times of trouble.

DAY 2: Pray for God to bring awareness to the Body of Christ concerning modern-day slavery, awakening the community, nation, and world to the personal and societal destruction caused by forced labor and prostitution.

DAY 3: Pray for the Church to be compelled by the biblical mandate in Scripture to seek justice for the oppressed. Ask God to inspire and equip local government authorities to combat slavery in all its forms.

DAY 4: Sex trafficking and pornography are very closely linked. Pray for sexual purity within the Church. Pray for individuals struggling with sexual sin and ministries like Awaken that are helping adults find freedom in Christ.

DAY 5: Ask Jesus for an awakening among the worst offenders of human trafficking. Pray they would repent of their sin, turn to Jesus, and become forces for freedom.

DAY 6: Pray for our Local Missions partner, The WellHouse, and other organizations in Birmingham and around the world that God has called to serve victims of human trafficking. Pray for God to grant them favor and influence in their communities and success in their mission.

This week we are praying for Brook Hills Long-Term Missionaries Dwight and Mary Kay Martin serving in Thailand. Dwight and Mary Kay
were commissioned from The Church at Brook Hills many years ago and currently serve with Cross Ties Asia. Their role is to lead a ministry that supports and mobilizes the Thai church for evangelism, disciple-making, and church planting. Dwight and Mary Kay have led the
development of a software that helps map out where unreached people groups still exist in Thailand and help with translation and
distribution of disciple-making materials for pastors. For more information visit crosstiesasia.org.

DAY 1: Praise God for the church in Thailand. Praise God for the vision He has given to Thai pastors to share the gospel in villages and
communities where unreached people groups still exist in Thailand. Pray for the Spirit to equip them for this work.

DAY 2: Pray for believers throughout Thailand to be faithful to share the gospel and for the pastors to equip their people for the
work of evangelism.

DAY 3: Dwight and Mary Kay are very busy with the work the Lord is accomplishing through them. Pray for times of rest.

DAY 4: Pray for the Lord to provide the resources needed to continue ministry each year in Thailand.

DAY 5: Pray for the Thai church to continue to grow in their love for Christ and to be obedient to make disciples.

DAY 6: Pray for God to continue to glorify Himself through Dwight and Mary Kay’s ministry. Pray for their year to be fruitful as they
host teams and continue to serve the local church there in Thailand.
