World and USA​​​​
​​​
• Pray for all people of the world and their needs.
​
• Stilfontein, South Africa, where the death toll in a month’s long standoff between police and miners trapped while working illegally in an abandoned gold mine has risen to at least 87. Authorities faced growing anger and a possible investigation over their initial refusal to help the miners and instead “smoke them out” by cutting off their food supplies. 246 survivors were also pulled out from deep underground since the operation began last Monday.
​
• Israel and Hamas, where the Israeli Prime Minister’s office confirmed that a deal has been agreed upon with Hamas to release the hostages held in Gaza. The agreement, which US officials expect to take effect today, would see a pause in fighting in Gaza and lead to the phased release of hostages and Palestinian prisoners.
​
• Pray for our nation and our many challenges.
​​​
​​​• Los Angeles, as fires continue to burn, several utilities have declared drinking water unsafe until extensive testing can prove otherwise. A warmer, drier climate means wildfires are getting worse, and encroaching on cities — with devastating impact. Toxic chemicals from those burns can get into damaged drinking water systems, and even filtering or boiling won’t help, experts say.
​
​​​​​• Atkinson, Nebraska, where Jack Hoffman, the cancer patient who captured the hearts of Nebraska football fans and inspired the nation as a 7-year-old when he ran for a touchdown during the Cornhuskers’ 2013 spring game, has died at the age of 19. Kylie Dockter, executive director of the Team Jack Foundation, said Hoffman died of brain cancer early last Wednesday at his home due to the development of more aggressive tumors.
​
• Pray for the protection of all our school and university administrators, principals, teachers, students, staff and workers.
​
• The incarcerated, protection of frontline workers, health professionals, industry providers, fire fighters, police officers, first responders and the military.
​

​
Our military, police officers, fire fighters, first responders, and their families.
Our Government, and Leaders, and Christians all over the world.
