Pray First Prayer Focus

APRIL PRAYER FOCUS — BROKENESS FOR LOST PEOPLE

PERSONAL REFLECTION: “But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd” (Matthew 9:36).

  • How do you see the people around you? Do you see them as Jesus sees them?
  • Are you moved with compassion because they are like sheep without a shepherd?
  • Are you inclined to be critical or to intercede?

World Partners: November 2025 Update

See how the Gospel transforms lives—turning enemies into friends—and how missionaries are using simple acts of love to make an extraordinary difference around the world!

Pray with us this week:

  • Ask God to heal the many VJF members struggling with pain, cancer, the side effects of chemotherapy, and other physical and mental health issues.
  • Pray for our pastor as he shares the Word. Ask God’s Spirit to move within him, giving him boldness and clarity as he speaks. Ultimately, pray that God is glorified through him, our deacons, and church leadership.
  • Pray for Prime Minister Netanyahu, for God to give him wisdom. Pray for Israeli soldiers as they rightly defend their country. Pray for Jews, Arabs, Egyptians, and Iranians to come before the Almighty God and cling to Him to find peace amid the turmoil in Jesus the Messiah.
  • For our missionaries, pray for their strength and perseverance to run the race; that the Lord will bring people across their path who would encourage and uplift them.
  • Pray for God’s provision over their family and ministry; for His protection against illness, injury, and danger.
  • Pray that the joy of the Lord will sustain our missionaries in every trial and setback; that the light of God would shine through them, lifting darkness and oppression as they share  His love.
  • Ask the Lord to make fertile ground and prepare hearts to receive the gospel; that He set up divine appointments and open doors for ministry that only He can make possible.
