Every Day with Jesus ...
September 18, 2006
"... Daily in the temple and in every house, they didn't stop teaching about & preaching Jesus Christ." - Acts 5:42
PRAISE:
We are thrilled that ‘Alex’ an MBB+ from a neighboring country is able to go to his home country and visit with his ailing father and elderly mother. He has been allowed to leave the country for the past 3 years due to work, political and religious issues.
PETITION:
Pray for the expatriate church here. Pray for those new to the area would find spiritual homes and a place to be refreshed and envisioned for the work of the Kingdom.
Pray for local believers during Ramadhan (it starts on 24 September 2006). Pray that God would sustain them and strengthen them and protect them against the strong pull of Islam Pray for God's grace in their lives at this time as many will be facing pressure to join with family and community events and special prayers at the mosque.
Pray for Salman, a National MBB+ as he is getting his life back together after the death of his wife from a prolonged illness. He and his wife came to Christ when an Iraqi Christian couple visited them in the hospital a few days before her death. Pray that he would be comforted by his Savior and Lord.
Pray for continued growth, rebuilding, and strength for all of the local believers here in our country.
Ask that the Father will be with a Believer who is being held in a prison. Ask that this person's family, who do not believe, will come to Faith through these very hard circumstances.
TESTIMONY:
The outreach team was praising the Lord for so many open doors of opportunity they had to give away the Jesus video on DVD, Arabic New Testaments and other Christian literature. One day, one of the team members prayed boldly “I want someone to come to us and say that they have watched the video and have questions.” Later that same day, when the team came back from an outreach on the far side of the lake, a man from Saudi Arabia approached the man who prayed so boldly hours before. The man Saudi man was aggravated and spoke loudly ‘Are you the people who have been giving out this movie about Issa (Jesus)?’ The Arab Christian man calmly but meekly said that he was. The Muslim man said ‘Good! I watched it last night and I have lots of questions!’ The two men spent the next hour or so talking about the claims of Jesus and what that means for all mankind. We are excited about the high number of people from the AP* that were brought into contact with Arab Christians that live as expatriates in the same region. Pray that they would continue to seek out the truth about God and come to faith in Him.
