(tuh-RAHN-toh) - More than half of Toronto's 8 million people were born outside of Canada. It is a sprawling urban city that the world calls home, although many feel alone and isolated. Because of education, business, and refugee status, the world is coming to Toronto. This immigrant population brings over 160 languages with it and an abundance of worldviews and religions, especially Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism, and Judaism. There is great opportunity to share the gospel, but this is a God-sized task. While the evangelical presence in the city is only around 3%, God is moving in wonderful ways. Prayer is of the utmost importance, as prayers can impact the lostness and change hearts! Toronto is recognized as one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the world. Please pray for the salvation of all the nations that are in Toronto.

"Learning the local language and culture is paramount when ministering in a new country and culture. Intercede for new members of our team to grasp the Swahili language and have a desire to go deeply as they learn so they will be able to develop long-lasting friendships and have an impact for the gospel in Tanzania. As the Theological Education Team, we need to be able to teach in Swahili as well as write curriculum in that language. Ask God to give this new family the perseverance and patience needed to push forward in their language learning. May He bless their learning and provide them opportunities to share the gospel in Swahili and see fruit from their labors." "After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, 'Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!'" (Revelation 7:9-10 ESV).

Workers write: "Pray that as our team continues to work locally where we live, the Lord will provide South Asian partners who can engage this city alongside of us. Ask Him to lead us to brothers and sisters in Christ in the city who are faithful, available, and have a desire to see the kingdom grow where they live."

(har-ee-YAH-nuh) - Ambala is a large, influential district in the state of Haryana, India. With a Christian population of only 0.2%, the density of lostness is overwhelming, but there is a small church in the area. Please pray that God will give many pastors in this district a burden for the lost around them and a passion to equip the believers to go and share the gospel daily.

"'Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.' (Matthew 28:19-20 ESV). Jesus, may people in East Taiwan believe and put their trust in You, the risen Savior. May churches there know and live in the light of the knowledge that all authority has been given to You. May they actively go and make disciples of all nations. May they teach others to obey everything You have commanded, confident in the knowledge that You are with them always, even to the very end."
