But the Lord has become my fortress, and my God
the rock in whom I take refuge. Psalm 9422
Fort Mamo, MScala
12

• Pray for the people in this rapidly growing
  village to find their strength and refuge in the
  Lord, and look to Him for their salvation.

13
Ask for Marsascala to be a responsive village for
outreach, as Maltese and tourists sit or stroll
along the waterfront.
14

• Ask for workers to bring in the harvest, and for
  divine appointments with people who are open to
  the Gospel.

• My righteousness draws near speedily, my
  salvation is on the way, and my arm will bring
  justice to the nations.
• The islands will look to me and wait in hope for
  my arm.
• Is. 424

22

• Petition for Gods salvation to come to the
  people of Mosta. Ask that they would find their
  hope in Him, and not in Mary or others.  

23

• Also lift up the many Maltese who look to
  financial gain as a means of hope and
  fulfillment, and ask that they would recognize
  that true hope lies in Jesus Christ.

• But if anyone obeys His Word, Gods 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 25-6

30

• Thank the Lord for this ancient village and that
  the Bible has been translated into Maltese. Ask
  that Maltese would have a hunger to read the
  Bible for themselves and to discuss it in small
  groups.  

31

• Most of all, ask 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.

• Sing to the LORD a new song,  his praise from the
  ends of the earth, you who go down to the sea,
  and all that is in it,  you islands, and all who
  live in them.
• Isaiah 4210 

38

• Pray that as Dun Karm Psaila gave Malta their
  National Anthem, new songs of praise to God
  will be written and sung on these islands and by
  all who live in them.

39

• Ask that one day soon Maltese from Zebbug will
  once again shape history and lead the way for a
  turn from religiosity to a personal, daily walk
  with Jesus.

  sake of your name lead and guide me.
• Psalm 313

45

• Rejoice that God created this tiny island and its
  inhabitants. Pray that Gozitans will make God
  their rock and fortress, and listen to His Holy
  Spirits call and guidance in their lives.

46

• Ask that soon Gozitans will be gathering at the
  Meeting Place to worship Jesus as their personal
  Lord and Savior.

• Translation of the Maltese National Anthem, by
  Dun Karm Psaila-
• Lil din l-Art helwa, l-Omm li tatna
  isimha,Hares Mulej, kif dejjem Int
  haristFtakar li lilha bl-ohla dawl libbist.
• This sweet land, the very Mother who gave us our
  identity,Watch over, dear Lord, as you have
  always doneRemember how You adorned her with
  the sweetest light.
• Aghti kbir Alla, id-deh'n lil min jahkimhaRodd
  il-hniena lis-sid, sahha 'l-haddiemSeddaq
  il-ghaqda fil-Maltin u s-sliem.

  and peace, amongst the Maltese.
