for Whatcom County and the World – Nov/Dec 2024
PRAYER GUIDE

Praise and Worship – Acts 4:8-12, Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers and elders of our people, 9are we being questioned today because we’ve done a good deed for a crippled man? Do you want to know how he was healed? 10Let me clearly state to all of you and to all the people of Israel that he was healed by the powerful name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, the man you crucified but whom God raised from the dead. 11For Jesus is the one referred to in the Scriptures, where it says, ‘The stone that you builders rejected has now become the cornerstone.’ 12 There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.”

People are looking for solutions to their problems and to the anxiety they feel as they look at our world. The key is for each to find their identity in Christ so that all the challenges are external to their heart. Peter said, ‘there is no other Name…”. Our Father has promised to pour the love of Christ into our hearts (Romans 5:5) and Jesus invited all who are weary to come to Him for He is gentle and humble in heart. (Matt 11:27-30). Open your prayer time asking for God to pour His Love into you that you will pray from His will for His children with His love.

Suggested songs to use as you worship for the first part of your prayer time. 

Pray for your neighborhood – your Family, your Church, your City, your Schools.

Pray for the unique setting your family and your church have in the community. Pray that the churches in your city would love and bless their community with God’s power that comes from the riches of His GLORY.

Praying for Whatcom County & the World

Art/Media

  • Praise report for all the prayers over the last year + for the series, “Even the Darkness.”  Red carpet premier of the first 5 episodes was a huge success. One of the focus prayers is for the Native American community to see this and be drawn in to the story which will eventually name Jesus as the only way. Pray for the several tribes who have asked for a screening at their reservations. Pray for smooth distribution and promotion.

Business

  • Pray for Christian business owners and employees in this very busy retail season. Pray they will be able to model Christian love and values in the consumer driven world.
    • Pray for Christians in small business – from local stores to farms – as they navigate a difficult legal world bringing Christian values to all their decisions.

  • Pray for county/city councils for wisdom as they prioritize budget items. First responders and others who provide vital services have seen restrictions.

  • County charter review commission.  Pray for wisdom and vision.

  • Pray for peaceful transition between outgoing and incoming elected officials at every level (local to national)

Health    Joshua 1:9 – Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

  • Pray for first responders’ encouragement and protection (consider Fentanyl and family violence). Pray for their mental health and that of their families.

  • Providers are seeing an increase of people looking to alternative solutions including drugs and eastern religions. Pray that the all-sufficiency of Christ would be understood and shared and against deception.

International Missions/Israel/Native Americans 

Col 1:13, “For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves.” 

  • Israel – Ps 131:4. “He who watches over Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps.” Pray for God’s protection, salvation and healing. That many Jews and Arabs would call on His Name and be saved. That The Lamb would have the reward of His suffering in Israel and surrounding nations according to His word.
  • Nov/Dec is a time of increased persecution of Christians in many countries. Pray for each believer to walk in the courage of his/her convictions and protection of the Spirit.
  • Pray for Bhutan, a dark and repressive nation in which most people ascribe to Buddhism, and few are followers of Christ. Pray for missions efforts to reach the Bhutanese for Christ. Pray that Bhutan – the “Kingdom of the Dragon” – will be won over for the King of Kings and Lord of Lords!

God has birthed another House of Prayer in Whatcom County! The Clearbrook House of Prayer is in the “House of the Living God” at 9691 Van Burien Rd. Lynden WA. This was the Clearbrook Lutheran Church and by God’s amazing plan it was given to the Hispanic network of churches pastored by Ivan Montenegro and team. Tim Scott will direct the House of Prayer in conjunction with LOWPC. As the schedule grows we will update in this newsletter or on the LOWPC website. You can also call Tim at 360-483-8691. Currently there is prayer on Thursday mornings from 7-10 and Saturday morning from 10-12. More times will be added soon.

From the beginning of this story it has been clear God has planned and orchestrated this ministry. Pastor Ivan and team were in prayer one Saturday morning asking God to speak to us. Immediately we got a phone call and a voice said, “I have a church I want to give to you!” Since then, we have see God work in amazing ways. Mission teams have come to work, pray and fix up the place. Local businesses have painted the inside and recarpeted the building. In addition to the times above we will have a Wednesday evening church/prayer service.
