PTAP: Maturing the Laborers

"The Lord will raise up shepherds after His own heart" - Ezekiel 34

PRAISE:
We are excited that God is bringing new workers to our country. We have asked for several months in the weekly PTAP requests that the Lord of the Harvest would send more workers – there is so much to do and not enough hands to do it.


PETITION:
Pray for the two MBBs in hiding over the past few months. They have been discovered but are in anther place and keeping a low profile. Their relatives want to harm them and turn them over to the religious authorities. Pray they would remain hidden, get discipled and be able to grow in their walk with Jesus.

Pray for the blending of two Iranian fellowships in our city here. They both need a fair amount of care and spiritual discipline – but it would be best for them to be meeting together.

Pray for the MV Doulos as it starts 2 weeks of ministry starting at the end of this week in Doha. Pray that the problems encountered in setting up the visit will be prevented from the work God wants to do in the region.

Pray for the young MBB woman whose family is forcing her to marry against her will. She is looking for ways to honor her parents yet not be forced into marrying a Muslim man of her parents choosing. Pray for wisdom of those involved in this situation.

Pray for the work of God in the life of a small village in the remote, mountainous region of our country. Last year one of the MBBs was killed because of his faith. We are praying that his assailant would come to faith and be transformed.


TESTIMONY:
Humaid is a bright, energetic young man who recently came to faith in his capital city. He was discipled by a family in the church where he began to attend. Eventually, he left his home country to accept a position in a restaurant in the Arabian Peninsula. Humaid came with his young faith and began to seek out Christian discipleship. He found Some like minded brothers that speak his heart language and they encouraged and challenged him in his walk with Jesus. He has had many opportunities to share his faith at his place of work as well as with his neighbors. He has been a big encouragement to an MBB that has been weary and down-trodden. He is beginning to take up responsibilities in their small MBB fellowship. We are seeking God’s best for him in the near and far future. Please rejoice with us and pray that God will empower him to speak His love to his people.

Please also remember the one who sends out the news, that the Lord's
care would be with him, that he & his family would be bold in witness
with much fruit. - mjh
