Corporate Prayer

Thursday was Exxon's second annual day of prayer within the company. 35 different work sites across the world joined together on one conference call. Each location had a designated praying leader and 5-7 minutes to pray for specific concerns. The President of Exxon Chemicals and President of the downstream business joined in. Mark and one other Thai Christian at the Sriracha refinery huddled around a phone praying together with many Exxon employees across the globe. Mark said he felt led to mainly pray for the nation of Thailand, that God's name would be glorified here and the people would turn from their idols and worship the one, true, living, God. Ironically, the young engineer Christian, praying at the refinery with Mark is the only Christian in his entire family. Mark said it magnified to him how difficult it must be for someone to turn from their entire heritage, culture and former religion to live for Christ. Mark said it was a powerful experience, one he was glad to take part in. May the name of Christ be high and lifted up within Exxon and every nation!
