The Tapestry of Truth is seen in Christ.
"... from the beginning of the world there was a mystery hidden with God in Jesus Christ, Who is the Creator of all things, so that now, the vast & intricate wisdom of God, might be displayed to the rulers & authorities in the heavenlies according to the eternal purpose which He purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord!" - Ephesians 3:9-11
PRAISE:
We are so thankful for God’s work in the lives of the dozen MBBs living in our city. They are part of the beautiful tapestry that He is weaving together in this multi-ethnic metropolis. It is exciting to see these new believers grow in their love of the Lord and their desire to take the good news to their communities.
PETITION:
Pray for the many tentmakers that are in language learning. Arabic is a tough language. It is humbling to be good enough to speak like a 2 year old! Pray for giftings beyond our abilities. Pray for opportunities to speak the heart language of those God called us to share His love.
Pray for tentmaker families who are taking leave shortly. Pray for God's guidance and blessing on their plans. Many have speaking appointments and supporters to visit. Pray for rest and spiritual refreshment in the midst of these responsibilities. Pray for good family bonding times, for a renewed vision and a strengthening for the year ahead.
Please pray for a local believer who is deeply entangled by many sins that leads him to have a very complicated life. Pray for guidance to those who are discipling him.
Five believers in one extended family got together last week for worship and prayer. Family dynamics are as strained here as any other place on this planet, and one of the girls prayed desperately for their father to join them in their faith in Isa Al-Messih. Pray for the gospel to move along these and other family lines.
Pray for the group of 6–10 local Muslim seekers who meet with a few tentmakers in the desert several times per Week. They discuss a range of topics including the signs of the last day, Wahabism, and the merit of Mohammad and/or Jesus in pleading for their followers at the judgment. These men choose to attend the majlis (meeting place) to talk about the things of God instead of watching the World Cup! Amazing! Pray for God’s work in their hearts.
TESTIMONY
Several weeks ago an Arab Christian man met a middle-aged local Muslim man at a social function. They hit it off quickly and soon they began discussing the mysteries of life and the troubles of being here on earth. The man is very dissatisfied with Islam and his current life. They got together on other occasions to talk more freely about life and the One who can change us from the inside out. “Abe” took a New Testament. Then he took the Psalms. Then a Jesus video, then a book. Over a period of several weeks, Abe was being drawn to God. Finally, just over a week ago, he said to his Arab Christian friend, "What must I do to have peace with God?"
Now Abe is in the kingdom growing bit by bit. He is keen to know the Word and to spend time learning the Scriptures God’s revealed truths. Pray that he would continue to grow. Pray for his protection in his Muslim saturated local environment.
