Lit with Love, Live in the Light
"Love one another deeply, from the heart." - 1 Peter 1:22; 4:8
PRAISE:
Praise God for another new Arab believer. This believer desires to share Christ with her family. Pray that God will draw her family close to Him and prepare their hearts for what she will share.
PETITION:
"Salman" hopes to move into his new house soon! This finally means freedom for him and his sons to pursue their faith in Jesus - Isa al Messih - together as a family. His older son "Ammar" mentioned to me last month that he was - confused about whether Christianity or Islam is the right way." Who wouldnt be confused in his situation family split over major faith issues? Please pray for Salman as he models and teaches his boys about loving God through Isa al Messih.
Could you also pray for the local believers here. There is a lack of passion and desire to study the word. May they get the passion that comes from Him.
Pray for all the ministries in our embattled church here in our capital city. Pray for God's protection on the youth, for those on the fringes or making enquiries (such as those doing Alpha courses), for the young believers, as well as those more mature believers who are involved in the conflict.
Pray for a local man named Mohammed who recently received a Skinny Luke-a thin booklet with the Gospel of Luke. Pray that he will read Gods Word and that He will change his heart so he could receive the Truth of Jesus Christ.
Praise God for the recent marriage of a fellow worker. The PTAP world-wide network has periodically prayed for this brother whose wife died tragically at a young age. Pray that God would richly bless this new marriage. Pray that God would knit the family together as the new bride becomes the instant mother of 3 young children (ages 7, 5, 2).
TESTIMONY:
"Sally" is a young mother of two very active, unruly children. She does not know how to handler her children. Her culture tells her it is OK for them to be undisciplined, they will get better over time. Her husband is very aloof when they are together as a family and rarely interacts with the children. He is very busy with work and spends a lot of time learning new programming languages for work while at home in the evening.
"Sally" has two lady friends that she really likes and respects. They are both Christians. One is an Eastern woman like herself and the other is a middle-aged Western woman. Both of them are calm, godly women. The middle-aged woman has a handful of children spanning 12 years. "Sally" really likes the way the older woman's children play, interact with their siblings and with other children. In response to her requests, the two ladies meet weekly to go over some Christian parenting resources. "Sally" is very encouraged by this and wants to know more about what Christianity has to say about raising children, about the husband-wife relationship and about sane living. Pray that through the discussions the Christian women have with "Sally" that she would hear the Good News of Jesus and understand Gods desire for her.
