Pray for Croatia
(Week of March 26-31/2012)

When I was living in Former Yugoslavia, back in the eighties, I attended and helped with some Summer Youth Camps in the Croatian area. For awhile I followed some of the young people as they matured in years and found many of them going on with the Lord.

1)      Let us pray for the youth camps for this coming summer.

a.       Lord, we ask that You pick out those that are to be involved in organizing and helping in the camps. Release within them Your great love for the children.

b.      Lord, we pray You help the planners with all the details of the camps; activities, speakers and accommodations. We pray that all plans would be carried out according to the Lord’s will.

c.       Lord, make it possible for many youth to come.

d.      Let us pray for all the finances to come in for these camps. Let us pray for scholarships to be available for the children whose families can’t afford it. Raise up sponsors, Lord.

e.      Lord, we pray for an out-pouring of Your purposes on these Children. May they never be the same. Lord, we ask for the breaking off of demonic and generational ties that would drive them to alcohol, drugs and just general un-productivity.

f.        Let us pray that the Lord would reward each worker abundantly.

                                                               i.      Matthew 10:42 KJV
And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

                                                             ii.      1 Corinthians 3:14 KJV
If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

                                                            iii.      Colossians 3:24 KJV
Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.

2)      Tourism is one of the main driving forces of the Croatian economy. Hospitality and tourism generate 13 percent of the country’s gross domestic product, and Croatia is becoming a popular travel destination.

a.       The Lord has given Christians the gift of hospitality. Let us pray that a lot of these jobs will be filled by Christians.

b.      Let us pray that Christian business people would see the Croatian coast as a place to make a profit. Lord, speak to Christians to look at this area to invest.

c.       If you check my prayer guides over the years, I have often thought we should pray for the Churches to seek God on how they could reach out to the tourist that come to Croatian each Summer. The Nations are coming to Croatia.

d.      In the “spirit” I heard a tourist say, “I went on vacation to rest from my physical labor  but found rest for my eternal soul”

Dear Jerry,

Greetings from Croatia!

I am happy to announce to you that I am planning a trip to the States from June 15th-August 21st 2013. I am scheduing speaking engagements for Sunday mornings, Sunday evenings, midweek services, seminars, conferences, men's meetings and meetings with pastors and missions boards.

If you would be interested in my coming to speak at your church please ask your pastor to contact our office at ceo@cce.hr and my administrator will contact him about scheduling my visit.

Thank you for your kind and loving support of the ministry here in Croatia.

May God richly bless you.

Pastor Mario Ducic,

Croatian Evangelistic Outreach, Zagreb, Croatia

3)      Let us pray for Pastor Ducic and his upcoming trip to America. This pastor knows the needs of Croatia better than anyone I know and it would be a blessing for him to speak in your church or fellowship.

a.       Let us pray that many would sign on to hosting Pastor Ducic, opening doors for him to speak and accommodating him along his way.

b.      Let us pray God would give Pastor Ducic a message to link American Christian’s hearts to the Christians in Croatia. Also that us American Christians would be stirred out of our apathy. 

c.       I pray that this trip would be a very financial blessing for Pastor Ducic and the ministry he oversees in Croatia.

d.      Let us pray that Pastor Ducic would make many more friends.

Pray for Romania

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has given Romania a 5 billion Euro line of credit for them to draw upon in case of an emergency. It is reported that the Romanian economy is expected to have 1.5% growth rate this year. Click Here for full story.

1) Let us pray that the finance ministers and captains of industry would not be greedy or have a knee-jerk reaction to borrow. Investment is good but investing on borrowed money is a trap.
2) Let us pray that the Romanian economy would not only gain 1.5% but 2.5% or 5.5% this year. Lord, you know where the resources are whether they be minerals, man power or ideas.
3) These blessings that are coming to Romania, lets pray that it will benefit all people, all the way down to the villager that brings wood out of the forest to sale.
4) Let us pray also for the pastors, priest and elders that watch over the Christians of Romania. Lord, You have charged them to care for Your flock, may they be good shepherds and not hirelings.
John 10:12-14 (New King James Version)
But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them. The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep. I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own.
5) Lord, we ask that You bless the hireling with a job somewhere else and raise up true shepherds that love Your people.
6) Let us pray for the Romanian churches. May they have Fathers of the Faith, and young men and women that are submitted and teachable. May the leadership of each church be in unity with a pure love for one another.
7) As the youth programs are coming together for this summer, may all be done for the glory of God. May each worker have their hearts made ready to impart eternal truth into the lives of these youth. We pray that many young people will surrender their lives to You, Lord.
8) Let us pray for finances to be released to fund the youth programs; youth camps, street dramas, outreaches, etc. Lord, You know who needs to give, touch their hearts. Lord, we pray You would bless the workers, volunteers and givers by meeting all their needs.
9) I am friends with a couple that have went to Romania to work with orphans. Let us pray for Mark and Rebecca Essenburg. Click here http:freebalkans.com/extra3 for their prayer needs and to read of how God is using them. Lord use them to reach many, many youth this summer.
10) Lord, we lift up all the Romanian Christians. May this be a summer where the Holy Spirit moves mightily, teaches deeply and comforts each one. Let this be a time when the Romanian Christians have their cups running over.
Luke 6:38
Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.

“On Earth as it is in Heaven” –Jesus

Speaking for the Lord, King David wrote,
Ask of Me, and I will give You
The nations for Your inheritance,
And the ends of the earth for Your possession.

Let us pray with assurance that we are collaborating with His plans.
