Brazil is the world’s fifth largest country in population and land area[1]. While Brazil is making strides to combat poverty within the elderly and to the general population through social services, poverty still remains high. 20% of the population lives in poverty. We pray for...

-The poor in Brazil. We pray that you God would secure justice for the poor and uphold the cause of the needy.* We pray for the provision of food, clean water, clothing, shelter, and clean sanitation facilities. 

-The education and health care sectors & ask that you would bring great improvement to these areas in Brazil. We pray that you would place Godly workers in your schools, and that they would train children in the way they should go, so that when they are old they will not turn from it.**

-The crime in Brazil to drastically decrease. We pray for those who use and sell drugs to be convicted by the Holy Spirit of their actions, and that your love is always waiting for them. God we pray that you would break the chains of drug usage in the lives of every user in Brazil-in Jesus name we pray! 

-Those under the influence of the enemy, and we break this bondage in Jesus’ perfect name. Free them from these sins and help them come to you. Help them be washed in your blood Jesus.

-Spiritual breakthrough within the prisons. Lord Jesus we pray for you to bring redemption upon these prisoners. For prisoners to find copies of your word, to be in fellowship with other prisoners, and for brothers to sharpen one another just as iron sharpens iron. We pray that the prison systems in Brazil would be infused with your love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.*** 

-The natives of Brazil to find Christ. Yeshua, meet them in a way that only you can, and help them to repent of their sins and follow you with all their heart, soul, and strength.****

-Missionaries to be continually sent from Brazil and for your covering to go before and behind them. We pray for financial support, prayer covering from the saints, and for your spirit to lead the way of their assigned work.  

-Those who consume, transport, and produce drugs in this nation, and we pray for repentance. Lord Jesus, we pray for holiness upon this nation. Let your blood cover the borders of Brazil. We ask that no drugs would come in, and no drugs would go out. Jesus, let those who produce cocaine be convicted through the Holy Spirit of their sins. Help them to receive repentance and holiness through your name Jesus!
