Pray for the World
This week we are praying for the Rohingya people of Myanmar. The Rohingya are an unreached Muslim people group living predominantly in Myanmar. There are approximately 1.2 million Rohingya in Myanmar, making them a small and isolated minority group. Historically, the Rohingya have been mistreated and persecuted by the government and are currently being systematically driven out of Myanmar by extreme acts of violence. The situation is dire. Join us as we pray for the Rohingya people of Myanmar.
DAY 1: The Rohingya of Myanmar are Sunni Muslims, the largest branch of Islam. Pray for God to pierce the hearts of the Rohingya to see their need for a savior.
DAY 2: The Rohingya of Myanmar are facing significant suffering in what the U.N. has described as genocide against their people. Pray for God to intervene in this suffering. Pray for God to cause government leaders who perpetuate these actions to stop and turn from their evil ways.
DAY 3: The IMB estimates a need of at least 20 new workers to engage the Rohingya of Myanmar with the gospel to see positive movement. Pray for God to call out men and women to go and live in Myanmar and spend their lives with the Rohingya people.
DAY 4: The Rohingya have been described as among the world’s least wanted and most persecuted minorities. Pray for the gospel to reach the Rohingya and for a movement among the Rohingya to turn to Christ.
DAY 5: Many Rohingya of Myanmar are fleeing to Bangladesh, Thailand, and Malaysia. Pray for the church in those countries to receive the Rohingya and care for their physical and spiritual needs. Pray for the gospel to spread among the Rohingya who are living outside of Myanmar.

Glorious Day
Verse 1
I was buried beneath my shame
Who could carry that kind of weight
It was my tomb 'til I met You
Verse 2
I was breathing but not alive
All my failures I tried to hide
It was my tomb 'til I met You
Chorus
('Cause when) You called my name (and)
I ran out of that grave
Out of the darkness into Your glorious day
You called my name (and) I ran out of that grave
Out of the darkness into Your glorious day
Verse 3
Now Your mercy has saved my soul
Now Your freedom is all that I know
The old made new Jesus when I met You
Bridge
I needed rescue my sin was heavy
But chains break at the weight of Your glory
I needed shelter I was an orphan
Now You call me a citizen of Heaven
When I was broken You were my healing
Now Your love is the air that I'm breathing
I have a future my eyes are open
Lamb of God
Verse 1
You came from heaven's throne
Acquainted with our sorrow
To trade the debt we owe
Your suff'ring for our freedom
Chorus
The Lamb of God in my place
Your blood poured out my sin erased
It was my death You died I am raised to life
Hallelujah the Lamb of God
Verse 2
My name upon Your heart
My shame upon Your shoulders
The pow'r of sin undone
The cross for my salvation
Bridge
There is no greater love
There is no greater love
The Savior lifted up
There is no greater love
Blood Bought
When the voice of condemnation, with the record of my wrong
Whispers I am guilty of stains already gone
I will silence my accuser, full of confidence
Knowing I am safe, secure in the truth of this
I am blood bought, by His cross clean
With a brand new name and His life in me
What a wondrous grace, I am only seen
Fully blood bought, by His cross clean
Give me faith to see that moment, the darkness of that day
My sin upon His shoulders, the Savior in my place
Oh the glory of redemption, the Lamb was slain for me
Pardoned now forever, in that healing stream
Forgiven forever
Oh my grateful heart must sing
Forgiven forever
Oh my song will ever be
Christ is Mine Forevermore
Verse 1
Mine are days that God has numbered
I was made to walk with Him
Yet I look for worldly treasure
And forsake the King of kings
Chorus 1
But mine is hope in my Redeemer
Though I fall His love is sure
For Christ has paid for every failing
I am His forevermore
Verse 2
Mine are tears in times of sorrow
Darkness not yet understood
Through the valley I must travel
Where I see no earthly good
Chorus 2
But mine is peace that flows from heaven
And the strength in times of need
I know my pain will not be wasted
Christ completes His work in me
Verse 3
Mine are days here as a stranger
Pilgrim on a narrow way
One with Christ I will encounter
Harm and hatred for His name
Chorus 3
But mine is armour for this battle
Strong enough to last the war
And He has said He will deliver
Safely to the golden shore
Chorus 4
And mine are keys to Zion city
Where beside the King I walk
For there my heart has found its treasure
Christ is mine forevermore
Bridge
Come rejoice now O my soul
For His love is my reward
Fear is gone and hope is sure
Christ is mine forevermore
In Christ Alone
Verse 1
In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light my strength my song
This Cornerstone this solid Ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love what depths of peace
When fears are stilled when strivings cease
My Comforter my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand
Verse 2
In Christ alone who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live
Verse 3
There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ
Verse 4
No guilt in life no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand
Bridge
I find my strength I found my hope
I find my help in Christ alone
When fear assails when darkness falls
I found my peace in Christ alone
I give my life I give my all
I sing my song to Christ alone
The King of Kings the Lord of Lords
All heaven sings to Christ alone
To Christ alone
To Christ alone
