PTAP: Serving with Christ ... in the Power of the Resurrection
April 3, 2006
"Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear." (The righteous acts of the saints.)
"Blessed are those invited to the Lamb's wedding supper!"
"Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."
- Revelation 19:8, 9b, 10c.
PRAISE:
Resurrection Believers' Meetings
A number of the new believers are going to meet together for Resurrection for the first time! Please pray that our team would wisely plan these events and that the right people would attend.
REQUESTS:
Pray for our Resurrection outreach over the next 2 weeks. There will also be a number of outreach events for seekers during this season. Pray for wisdom and direction as we plan each event.
Please pray for an Egyptian woman who is meeting with a group of Christians to learn about their faith. She is open & seeking, but seems to be hindered greatly by something going on at her home. Please pray for protection & release from the control of evil, and for her & her family's salvation.
God seems to be moving workers around in various areas. Several workers will be leaving Saudi Arabia in six months to a year. Pray that God would bring more workers to the areas where workers leave. Pray also for the cities and villages that do not currently have workers. Ask God to send more workers for the harvest.
Pray for a tentmaker family who are trying to get a job in our country. Pray for God to open a door for this key family to come here and join the team.
Pray for a couple who want to serve in a remote part of the country. Pray for their plans to be guided by God and for Him to open up a way to go there if it is His will. Pray for provision of a suitable job and visa. They would be a great encouragement to another family currently serving there.
TESTIMONY:
Hassan comes from a stable family situation in a large city in a country that is in the news frequently just north of the Persian Gulf. He was a good student in school, he obeyed his parents in most matters but in his late teens he began to question Islam. He eventually met some Christians in the capital city. They were different! He began to meet with them for fun and for discussions. Little by little, he began to understand their message supported
so clearly by their lives of joy, hope and genuine caring for people in love. He obtained a Bible and began to read it. Shortly afterwards he came to believe in Jesus Christ. Many things changed in his life, however his family was suspicious of why he has changed – for the good that was true – but why was ‘Hassan changing’ was the question commonly discussed in the home.
Then, Hassan received a job opportunity in the Arabian Peninsula – working in a restaurant! This was much different than his previous training but he felt it was God’s will to go. Shortly after arriving in his new place he met a small group of Muslim Background Believers from his country. He was so happy! Today Hassan is growing in the Lord. He is studying the Word and sharing his faith with wisdom in their community in his new country. Just 2 weeks ago, he had the privilege to partake of communion for the very first time. He had tears streaming down his cheeks as he joined a community of believers in this special recollection of Jesus’ work for all people – including his Muslim family. He will be baptized in the near future – another step of faith in following Jesus.
PRAY for Hassan – to be prosperous in his restaurant job, that he would be wise in sharing his faith, that his family would come to Jesus.
