PTAP - Families coming to the Feast

"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ & you shall be saved - you and your household!"
- Acts 16:31


PRAISE:
We are so excited! There have been two families in our city that have come to the Lord over the past few weeks. They are keen to grow in the knowledge and grace of their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Thank you partners in Praying Through the Arabian Peninsula [PTAP] for your faithful prayers!


PETITION:
Pray for a local man named Mohammed who recently received a Gospel of Luke. Pray that he will read God Word and that God will change his heart so he could receive the Truth of Jesus Christ.

Pray that whole Saudi families would come to know Jesus.

Pray for the plans for a new church building in our country to be approved by the various authorities. Pray also that God will provide the finances to go forward with it. Pray with us over all the details - the final design, the vision in the hearts of the people, the official approvals and paperwork, and God's provision for all of this.

Continue to pray for our tentmaking team as we disciple local Muslims that have come to faith in Jesus. For most of us, these are the first local believers we have discipled. Pray for us as we live the Gospel in front of them. Pray we can communicate in ways our Arab brothers and sisters can understand and apply.

Pray for a new MBB living with a family in a nearby country. She is young in her faith and emotionally immature. It has been a difficult transition to living with a family of a different culture. Pray for wisdom, much grace and love in this unique discipleship situation.


TESTIMONY:
We have another new believer! Samantha responded with hunger to her cousin Melanie’s amazing testimony of tremendous joy and new freedom through Isa al Messih. Melanie had experienced the mercy of Jesus breaking into deep issues in her heart, and Samantha wanted to know if she could experience that too. Sharon and Joy, two of our team members, visited Samantha to pray for her and tell her about Jesus. She just burst out, “I want Jesus!”

The next morning, Samantha had a dream in which she was holding the biggest loaf of bread she’d ever seen. In the dream, she began breaking the bread and giving it to all of her family! She called Sharon asking, “So, what do you think the dream means?” Tears ran down Sharon’s face as she led Samantha to John 6, where Jesus calls himself the Bread of Life. Samantha cried out in amazement, “You mean I am feeding Jesus to my family?!”

Samantha is part of an extended family that now includes 4 believers! We’ve been praying that God’s kingdom would expand along family lines. And now we’re seeing that happen. Please pray for mothers and brothers and fathers and sisters and aunts and uncles and cousins to come to Jesus!
