Pray specifically for the Lebanese Arabs of United States

For at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light.
Ephesians 5:8

Pray that those who are lost will turn from the darkness they are walking in and embrace the light, becoming children of light who bear fruit in every good work.

Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples!
Psalm 96:3

Pray for people to hear and believe the good news of Jesus and joyfully share it with their family and friends.

For you had compassion on those in prison, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one.
Hebrews 10:34

Pray that as people place their faith in Christ, they will have compassion for those in prison, sympathize with those who are mistreated, and continue to do good and share the gospel with others.

I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share with them in its blessing.
1 Corinthians 9:23

Ask God to give believers a deep desire to share the gospel with those who don't know the truth about God's redemption plan, and to provide them with opportunities to do so cross-culturally.
