Sam L. - Pray for Hawaii

(Long post / Prayer Request) 

I typically post pictures of family, ministry, and lots of coffee. But today, I’m asking you to keep Hawaiʻi in your prayers.

We are in the middle of a very active hurricane season. The last two storms were not direct hits, yet they still brought significant damage across our state.

In just the last month, people in Hawaiʻi have awakened to the loss of loved ones, homes, vehicles, businesses, and property. And there are wounds that are harder to put into words—like the trauma a community experiences when a cemetery is destroyed and Iwi Kūpuna are displaced from their final resting places.

Behind every storm report and damage assessment are real people whose lives have been changed.

So this morning, please remember Hawaiʻi in your prayers.

Pray for those who have lost loved ones. Pray for families whose homes and livelihoods have been damaged. Pray for those carrying the emotional and cultural trauma left behind by these storms. Pray for our first responders, emergency personnel, disaster workers, volunteers, and community leaders who continue to serve long after the winds and rain have passed.

And please pray for protection over our islands as we continue through this hurricane season.

Hawaiʻi is resilient, and our communities take care of one another, the Aloha is strong. But right now, we could use your prayers.🤙🤙

Haiti Christians PTG / Justice

AT LEAST 47 KILLED, MORE THAN 50 KIDNAPPED AS GANGS ATTACK CHURCH AND COMMUNITIES IN HAITI

At least 47 people were reportedly killed and more than 50 others kidnapped during a brutal Aug. 23–24 attack in Haiti’s Kenscoff commune.

The violence was attributed to the Viv Ansam gang, which targeted several communities as insecurity continues spreading beyond Port-au-Prince.

Among the locations attacked was the Evangelical church Ark of the New Testament, where displaced families had reportedly taken shelter.

At least 22 people were reportedly killed inside the church, turning what had been a place of refuge into the scene of a devastating tragedy.

The attack is another painful reminder of the worsening security crisis in Haiti, where armed gangs continue terrorizing civilians, forcing families from their homes and placing churches and humanitarian workers under increasing pressure.

Yet Christian leaders in the country say the Church cannot abandon its mission.

Archbishop Max Leroy Mésidor declared:

“The Church has to continue its mission in good times and bad.”

For Christians around the world, this is a moment to remember the people of Haiti in prayer—especially grieving families, kidnapped victims, displaced communities and believers continuing to serve in dangerous conditions.

“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” — Psalm 46:1

May God comfort those who mourn, protect the innocent and bring peace and justice to Haiti.

YWAM - Pastor William PTG (His Church and Family)

Prayer for Myanmar - September 3

For over a quarter of a century, Rev. William served as a devoted pastor to his congregation at Chungcung Baptist Church in Myanmar's Chin state. He was a loving husband, a father to five children, and a steady spiritual anchor in a region torn apart by conflict. When his beloved village and church were looted and burned in late 2021, Rev. William chose to remain, choosing to shepherd his people through their darkest hours rather than abandon them.

Tragically, that unwavering commitment cost him his life. Arrested in May along with a fellow Christian named Nam Ceu, Rev. William was held by the country's ruling military junta under accusations of aiding local defense forces. On June 4, the military executed the 25-year pastor without a trial or due process, leaving a grieving family and a heartbroken church family behind.

Across Myanmar, roughly two million Christians live under constant threat of airstrikes, village raids, and heavy shelling. Places of worship, from humble rural chapels to historic cathedrals, have been systematically targeted, burned, and reduced to ashes. Yet, even as their homes and churches crumble, the resilient faith of the Chin, Kachin, and Karen believers remains unbroken.

Let us stand in the gap today for his widow, his five children, and the countless families in Myanmar who continue to worship Jesus in the shadow of danger. May God surround them with supernatural peace and protection.

Andrew M. - Mom PTG

Hi everyone, please lift up Andrew and his family up in prayer. His mom passed away over the weekend. May God's presence and peace comfort him and his family during this difficult time. 🙏🏽

Franklin Graham - Nepal - Tibet (Flash Floods and Mud Slides).

The media is calling the scenes of catastrophic flash flooding on the Nepal-Tibet border “apocalyptic.” The numbers are not yet fully known, but more than 150 people are already confirmed dead, with many missing, including hundreds of tourists and at least 47 Americans. Stranded residents were being rescued off rooftops by helicopter. Take a moment to stop and pray for the people of this region and for families anxiously awaiting news of their loved ones. Watch the chilling video and pray.
