I will lead them in the desert - the LORD.
“Sing a new song to the LORD; His praise from the ends of the earth. Let the desert and its cities shout, the settlements where Kedar dwells. Let the inhabitants of Sela sing for joy; let them cry out from the mountaintops. Let them give glory to the LORD, and declare His praise in the islands. The LORD advances like a warrior; ... I will groan like a woman in labor, gasping breathlessly. I will lead the blind by a way they did not know; I will guide them on paths they have not known. I will turn darkness to light in front of them, and rough places into level ground. This is what I will do for them, and I will not forsake them.” - from Isaiah 42
PRAISE:
We rejoice that “Samantha” received an “all clear” message from the doctors. She is encouraged by the news and asks for God’s continued work in her life – physically, spiritually, mentally and emotionally – to become a whole woman of God.
PETITION:
Pray for new workers coming into the country in these weeks. Pray for God to provide for them in terms of getting settled, provision of housing and car, initial contacts with local people, wisdom as they sort out their lifestyle and availability for ministry.
Pray for the Prayer Ministry here - pray that the workers will be refreshed and blessed during their time in their home country. Pray that God will gather friends around them to pray for them and encourage them and send them back refreshed.
Pray for some tentmakers who are closing their business. Pray for wisdom in all of the necessary business transactions. Pray for employment and visa situations that will maximize their effectiveness in our country.
Pray for the final weeks of ministry outreach in Europe to Arab Muslims from the Arabian Peninsula. August is one of the most popular holiday months for Arab Muslims from the AP. Pray that thousands of Jesus DVDs and other material would come back into the region with these families.
Pray for the ministry work in the eastern part of Yemen. Pray for more workers to enter this very harsh and desolate land. There are millions (2,000,000+) of Yemeni women and men without a Christian witness.
PRAISE:
Earlier this year, a group of tentmakers, a Muslim Background Believer (MBB), some visitors and some Muslim background seekers went on a desert outing. The man leading the outing is an expert on the desert and is often blessing the Christian community by hosting desert outings for visiting team members, Mission agency executives, relatives and friends. This outing was one of many over a dozen years of being one of few workers in the country.
On this particular outing, the temperatures were comfortable, the chicken bar-b-que was delicious and the fellowship among all was pleasant. It was dark when we left the sand and began the 1 hour drive home on the highway. On the way back, discussions covered a range of topics – religion always being one of them. In fact, many spiritual issues were raised during our time in the desert. It was in the middle of our trip home, that “Suzie” asked the MBB brother if he was still a Muslim. When he said ‘no, I am a Christian’ she was so taken aback that she pursed her lips and covered her mouth. After a brief silence, “Abe” – the MBB man, asked if she wanted to know his story. She emphatically said yes. So for the rest of the ride home Suzie heard all about God’s wonderful work in Abe’s life. She had many questions and felt comfortable to allow the other people in our 4-WD know that she was a genuine seeker after God and was interested in Christianity.
We praise God for this opportunity to bring together a Muslim seeker and an MBB and see Him do the work of bringing the Gospel to her ears. Pray for Suzie as she continues her spiritual journey. Pray that she would yield her life to the Savior. Pray for continued blessing and protection for Abe.
