Please pray for TARGET CITY: Papeete, Tahiti

Papeete, the capital of French Polynesia, located on the island of Tahiti, has a population of 131,695 inhabitants in its urban area.

It is the primary center of Tahitian and French Polynesian public and private governmental, commercial, industrial and financial services, the hub of French Polynesian tourism. Please join us in prayer for open doors, finances, and workers!

FOCUSED PRAYER POINTS: Please pray

1. for laborers to be sent forth into the harvest, and for abundant finances and resources to spread the gospel throughout the world: "Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest" (Matthew 9:38);

2. for the church to have a Kingdom focus in their prayers: "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you" (Matthew 6:33);

3. for the church to unite and proclaim one God, function as one church, and endeavor in one mission, proclaiming the name of Jesus: "Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism" (Ephesians 4:3-5)

"And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts" (Haggai 2:7).

Who Will Go?

“It is not God’s plan that the world be merely evangelized ultimately. It should be evangelized in every generation.”

 ~ T.A. Hegre

"'Shake well before using’. Sometimes that is what God has to do before He can use us."

- Missionary Paula Richardson

“When man works, man works. When man prays, God works.”
