On Sunday night, I participated in the live stream of the Orphan Sunday guided prayer and worship service. It was incredibly refreshing, insightful, and spirit-filled. I have highlighted below the outline of the prayer service. I hope that these requests will spur your prayers on for the 145 million orphans worldwide in need of a home. Two words weaved themselves through music and intercession in each request: wisdom and revelation. May the Lord grant much wisdom and revelation to His church so that we will adequately rise to the challenge of caring for the least of these.
For the trafficked: 13 million children in bondage
For the Asian church: May they rise up to meet the needs of the fatherless around them.
For the Ethiopian church: May He reveal Himself as Father to His children, and may they in turn father the fatherless
For the Russian church: May He turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the hearts of the children to their Father.
For the Latin American church: May there be a great revelation of the Father's love which would propel hearts to adopt.
For the Guatemalan church: May the Lord raise up families for these precious children.
For the Kenyan church: May God awaken believers to the 2.6 million children in need of adoption
For the American church: May God raise up fathers who will turn their hearts to the orphan. Strengthen the hearts of adoptive families.

" For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God."
Col 1:9-10
"I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better." Eph 1:17
