Persevering in the Harvest

“This calls for the patient endurance of the saints.” - Revelation.

PRAISE:
Praise the Lord for the keen interest expressed recently by fellowships in South Africa, Pakistan and South America. The workers in the Arabian Peninsula are so encouraged by the faithful prayer support poured out world-wide for the AP.

PRAY:
Pray for the many young, National, Muslim ladies who have heard the Gospel from a single female tentmaker over the past 5 years. This tentmaker is returning to her home country. Pray that the relationships are able to be transferred over to another tentmaking woman to continue the gospel story in their lives.

Pray for the visa and work situation for an MBB living in our country. He is such a faithful servant and regularly reaches out in love to the Muslim in the community.

Pray for the expatriate church in our capital city. There is much conflict between the elders, the pastor and the members. Pray that this disgrace to God’s name would stop. Pray that the Muslims in the community would know that this behavior is not advocated in the Bible.

Pray for the young National Muslim woman who is struggling in her marriage and her work situation. She is hungry for a peace that truly satisfies. Pray that she would be able to relate to a Christian woman to share the good news with her.

Please continue to pray for the tentmaker family who are hoping to move here. Pray for one of the jobs he has applied for to come forth with a job offer / contract so that this family can come and serve God here in this country. There are other, too, hoping to serve God here - pray for job contracts to be forthcoming. Without a job, people cannot get residency in the country.

Pray for the tentmaker family that is in a major transition for work. They are closing the business that has allowed them to serve in their country. This is raising a temptation to be anxious and to look to themselves for a solution and not trust on God’s provision. Pray also for their young son who has an eye disorder that can be corrected over time with specific therapy. Pray that his eye would be healed and that God would get the glory.

TESTIMONY:
As the Lord has been at work in the Arabian Peninsula, where most Arabians live, He has also recently opened the doors for more Arabians to again study abroad, particularly in the USA. They are learning English & other skills in universities. Because the Lord puts people where they can reach out for Him, He has already prepared some laborers in these universities to minister to them.

We have heard of a number of instances where, for example, single or married women who may not have been able to minister to Muslims in their homeland as freely, are find friends who are interested, not only in English, but also in the Book through which God speaks in any language. Thank the Lord with us for those who have expressed interest in receiving the Word & for those who are taking the initiative to reach out in love, while praying for more.
