PTAP: The Glory of God
March 13, 2006
"But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord." - 1 Corinthians 3:18 (NKJV)
PRAISE!
A worker in the southern part of the Arabian Peninsula writes: My good friend “L” has made himself present in my life again after a period of him avoiding me. That’s a direct answer to prayer! God has also acted on some specific things "L" asked me to pray about. Pray that this man will encounter Isa al Messih and come to faith!
PETITION:
Pray for the ministry of the Doulos in the Arabian Gulf. It has visited Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Doha, Bahrain and is on its way to Kuwait and Salalah. Pray for opportunities to bless the Muslims of Bahrain and the Eastern provinces of Saudi Arabia.
Pray for more awesome spiritual encounters for Baraka, Hamad, Salman, and other Muslim background believers we have the privilege to minister among.
A couple that have been bold in sharing their faith have been told they will not be offered another contract of employment after this summer. This couple also has a parent suffering with advanced cancer and is also expecting the birth of their 3rd child in March. Pray that the Lord blesses this family in a special way as the birth approaches. Pray for them as they deal with all these stresses.
A tentmaking couple have a relationship with a local couple who are seeking the Lord. It has been some time since the two couples have been able to meet together. Pray that God would supply an opportunity for these two couples to meet together. Ask God to move in the hearts of the seekers and prepare them to hear the Gospel.
Please pray for the churches in the region. Pray for unity amongst diversity. Pray for a united vision and a sense of pulling together and partnership in bringing the Gospel to the nations in the Arabian Peninsula.
TESTIMONY:
I’ve met up again with the religious sheikh I mentioned last month. He feels a strong connection to me that he cannot explain, and he has welcomed me into his group of friends. Several have expressed that they sense something about me that draws them. “That’s Jesus you’re seeing!” I declare, and see where the conversation goes. I never thought I’d have opportunity to discuss ontology and teleology in English, let alone in Arabic! The sheikh loves these conversations not for the philosophical exercise, but for how it draws him closer to God. Pray that he will find all he is looking for in Isa al Messih!
I was out with them last week at what was for all intents and purposes an Islamic worship session: thirty or so men sitting on the floor, swaying in time to the tak-tak of the drums as the main singer led them in songs about God, Mecca and Medina, and Mohammed. I watched in amazement for a half-hour. Here in front of my eyes was a contextual model for a local church. ... May God redeem these cultural forms to bring himself honor and glory through Isa al Messih!"
