Laboring in Prayer (Thy Kingdom Come)
This part should take approximately 20 minutes.
Read by Leader
Before we labor in prayer for God’s people in the Caribbean’s, I need three volunteers. One volunteer will read Joel 2:23 and skips to verse 28-32. A second volunteer ready Acts 2:15-21, the 3rd volunteer reads Zechariah 10:1. The 3rd volunteer forms a prayer for God to send rain naturally, spiritually and financially for every good work. Who will volunteer?
Notes
First volunteer will read Joel 2:23, 28-32.

23 Be glad then, ye Children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for He hath given you the former rain moderately, and He will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month. 28 AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS AFTERWARD, THAT I WILL pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my Spirit.30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD come.32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the Name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.
Notes
Second volunteer will read Acts 2:15-21.

¹⁵ For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. ¹⁶ But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; ¹⁷ And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: ¹⁸ And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: ¹⁹ And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: ²⁰ The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come: ²¹ And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the Name of the Lord shall be saved.
Notes
The third volunteer reads Zechariah 10:1 and prays for rain naturally, spiritually and financially for every good work.

Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; so the LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to everyone grass in the field.

Now let each person pray for one country at a time until we have prayed for 13 Caribbean countries. Pray by locating the ruler, the country and mentioning the politics and prayer. I will begin. “Lord, help the people of _____ (name country) and the head ruler _____ (name ruler), that they may be saved. That they would lead quiet and peaceable lives in all Godliness and honesty.

Anyone may interject to name a believer you know in that country or island.
Notes
Go around each praying for one country at a time until we've prayed for thirteen countries.

Each country should only use about one minute, so don't embellish beyond what is printed. Further prayers may be prayed through the week. Put the date that you prayed for these thirteen countries so you'll know for later.
