2. Psalm 29:2 - Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name.

4. Heb. 6:10 - Many Christians come to Malta for short-term trips. Ask for fruit in Malta and in the participants’ lives. Pray that others will hear the call and faithfully come to share Jesus. 2002

7. The Band Club Many Maltese see nothing wrong with adoring a particular saint or statue When the Maltese are taught the Ten Commandments, the second is omitted, and instead the tenth is split into two parts. Pray that instead they will “Exalt the name of the Lord… in the islands of the sea.” Isaiah 24:15 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image… you shall not bow down to them nor serve them.” Pray that instead of adoring saints or statues, Maltese will “Exalt the name of the Lord… in the islands of the sea.” Isaiah 24:15 2004

I John 2:5-6 But if anyone obeys His Word, God’s love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in Him: Whoever claims to live in Him must walk as Jesus did. I John 2:5-6 2006

10. Ask that Maltese would have a hunger to read the Bible for themselves and discuss it in small groups. Pray for them to obey what they have read, not out of blind duty or in an attempt to earn their salvation, but out of love for their Savior. 2006

11. Request that Maltese youth will have a personal, daily walk with Christ in a setting where they can use their creativity and energy to worship Him and reach out to others around them. 2007

12. Ask the Lord to sanctify the Maltese youth, bless them, convict them of sin, and reveal Truth.

13. 2007 Psalm 67:5-7 May the peoples praise You, O God; may all the peoples praise You. Then the land will yield its harvest and God will bless us. God will bless us and the ends of the earth will fear Him.
