A Call to Prayer for Rapid Response Team

Prayer Requests:

“Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” —Hebrews 4:16, NKJV

Pikeville, Kentucky, Flooding Response: Billy Graham Rapid Response Team (BG-RRT) chaplains deployed to Pikeville, Kentucky, following severe flooding that killed at least 17 people and displaced hundreds more. Please pray for all those affected by this severe flooding. Pray that the Lord will bring comfort and peace to those that lost loved ones.

Washington, D.C., Aircraft Collision Response: BG-RRT deployed to Washington, D.C., following a collision of an American Airlines jet plane and a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter that killed 67 people. Pray for the families that have lost loved ones and ask the Lord to bring comfort and peace during this difficult time.

Southern California, Wildfire Response: BG-RRT chaplains deployed to Los Angeles County, California, to provide emotional and spiritual care to those affected by wildfires that have burned thousands of acres of land and killed at least 29 people. Please pray for all who have been affected and for the firefighters and first responders during this devastating time.

Southeast Hurricane Responses: As our BG-RRT chaplains conclude their time of ministry in the Southeast, will you continue to pray for residents who are still recovering from this devastating hurricane? Pray that God will continue to provide for them as they rebuild their lives.

Law Enforcement Community: Ask God to protect law enforcement officers as they serve our communities. Pray for wisdom and discernment as they assist in keeping order and safety in our streets. Lift up the families and agencies who have lost loved ones in recent days or years. Pray for God to comfort them like only He can.

Ukraine Response: BG-RRT chaplains continue to offer the love and compassion of Christ in Ukraine. Ask God to use their efforts of ministry and training. Pray for Christians in the area, that they might encourage and point all who are suffering in the current crisis to Jesus Christ as their hope for the future. Ask God to continue to protect all who are serving.

Preemptive Prayers Relating to Man-Made Disasters: Please pray for God’s love and truth to penetrate the minds and hearts of those who might consider creating havoc that would result in injury to themselves and/or others. Invite God’s powerful presence to draw them to Himself, that they might know life in the fullest measure through Jesus Christ. Pray against the plan of the enemy to kill, steal, and destroy (John 10:10), and that the main focus will be hope in Him.

Our Nation: Ask God to bring healing, unity, and restoration within our nation. Pray that those in authority over us will legislate according to the Word of God. Believe with us that He is still able to do far more than we can hope, think, or imagine (Ephesians 3:20), and can bring blessing and a restored future.

Thank you for praying!
