Almost two million people in the Philippines have been impacted by typhoon-induced flooding. We have been in contact with Baptist leaders in the area, and the need is great. With your help, we can help provide for the immediate needs of 60 families. Please join us in prayer for the Lord's care and provision for the many impacted by this disaster. Photo:Jamindan Today/FB

Violence erupted in Ecuador this week, including a series of terror attacks that left five police officers dead and seven others severely injured. Two provinces have been declared to be in a state of emergency, and the military is patrolling the streets.

Baptists leaders say: "We uphold the promises of the eternal Word of God that Jesus is our hope in the midst of chaos and unrest." They also shared the following requests:

Please pray for those who are being extorted and attacked and for the criminals initiating this violence, that they find peace in their hearts and the Light of the world may come to them.
Pray for the people who work in tourism as this weekend is the longest holiday of the year and they depend on income from those traveling at this time.
Pray for our churches – that we never stop preaching love, peace, and repentance to everyone in our communities.
Pray for security at the national level and for wisdom for government leaders.

A Prayer from Tonga

O God, save our shores from the weapons of death,

our lands from the things that deny our young ones love and freedom.

Let the seas of the Pacific Ocean carry messages of peace and goodwill.

Turn away from our midst any unkind and brutal practices.

Let each child swim and breathe the fresh air

that is filled by the Holy Spirit.

O Lord Jesus, bless all who are makers of that inner peace

that breaks down the barriers of hatred,

and unite us with the open arms of your cross,

that all the peoples of the world may live happily together.
