Light in Dark Places
"You are the light of the world." - Jesus (see Matthew 5)
PRAISE:
Praise the Lord that a worker in the region who has been fighting cancer is making significant progress. He is still in need of prayer, but all the medical people involved in his case are encouraged by his progress.
Praise the Lord for several tentmaking families that have recently given birth to children in their countries of service. All of the children and mums are healthy. We rejoice in the hope of new life and trust that God’s hand will be on these special children.
PETITION:
Please pray for B, a local believer who has been away from the faith for a while. He now has shown a desire to return to following Jesus. Praise God! Pray that he continues to grow and that the Evil One will not have a hand in his life.
Pray for an ex-pat Arab Muslim lady who has shown great interest in the things of God. She is reading the Bible and wants to find out more about Jesus. She will be given the Jesus film audio later this week. Please pray that the Holy Spirit will give her understanding and a revelation of Himself.
Lift up a young family in our country. Their ability to stay and minister is in jeopardy. A religious officer retrieved some religious material that they had distributed. They have been placed under close watch. Pray that they would be able to continue to do the work God has for them and to protect their contacts.
Join us as we ask God to provide the teachers for a special training school that has been started by an international coalition of mission agencies in the central region of our country. The institute has the potential to touch the lives of thousands of National Muslim men and women. Pray that governmental approval will be granted in the near future.
Pray for some Muslim background believers who were arrested several months back. They have since been released by their government but are continually harassed by the religious police at home and in the workplace. Pray that these men will not become discouraged. Pray that they would keep on growing in their walk with Jesus.
TESTIMONY:
A middle aged woman on our team has recently been in a very challenging situation. She was visiting with one of her National Muslim neighbors when a man burst into the ladies majlis (meeting room) and pointed an angry finger at our friend. He was very rude and abrupt and said some very unpleasant things about Christianity and the Bible. Our friend, “R”, was stunned by such a violent verbal attack and said little. After he left the ladies of the household continued their friendly visit.
Time passed until again “R” was visiting her friend when again this aggressive man burst into the room to degrade Christianity and the Bible more vehemently that the previous time. This time “R” was ready with a few concise words that could be planted in his mind to make him take step back and assess his life and behavior. After his most recent tirade, “R” made a few comments that challenged the angry man’s statements.
Eventually, this angry man asked for a Bible. Today, he reads his Bible everyday and always has questions for “R” when she comes over to meet with his sisters and aunts. Praise the Lord for His powerful word. May it bring salvation to the household of Ahmed.
