OMAN

PRAYER FOCUS

  • Pray for the international church to be a bold and wise in their jobs and relationships with local people.
  • Ask the Lord to the frequency of dreams, visions, signs and wonders before the eyes of Omani people.
  • Pray and believe for increased opportunities to lay hands on Omani people and see them healed in the name of Jesus!
  • Pray for good ground in the hearts of those who are healed and who experience the supernatural- may it be more than curiosity, but let it be a true drawing of the Holy Spirit.
  • Pray for specific direction as the LivingWay network of churches plan the next church plant (location, leaders, venues, finances, new contacts).
  • Bind the attack of the enemy on interpersonal relationships and loose unity of Spirit into all church groups.
  • Pray for the broader evangelical community to receive Truth (every pastor and church member to be open to the power of Jesus' name).
