Working Together for the Gospel

August 28, 2006

"Beloved, the Lord is not slow in keeping His promise as think, but He is patient towards us since He does not want any to perish, but for all to come to make room for repentance & to come to a knowledge of the truth." - 2 Peter 3:9; 1 Timothy 2:4

PRAISE:
We rejoice at the successful Arabian Peninsula Consultation (APC) that was recently held in Europe. The many missions leaders and interested parties met to forge new alliances and made plans to advane the Good News in the Arabian Peninsula. This meeting is complimentary to the North American APC and the annual main consultation in the AP held each autumn in the region.

PETITION:
Pray for a believer to get a job. She has been hoping and praying for a long time. Ask God to open the door for her and provide for her in this way.

Pray for the new workers coming to the field this month. many have families and the logistics of moving to this region is many times very complex and difficult.

Pray for M. He is being challenged to go deeper in his relationship with Jesus. He has been on the fringe of following Jesus for several months.

Pray for S, a new Local believer, as she moves into a new housing situation. She is a difficult person and many in the Christian community have concerns about having her live with them.

Pray for the tent making teams in all of the Arabian Peninsula. Many changes have occurred in the past few months. Ask that the Holy Spirit would breathe anew into these Christian brothers and sisters as they are God’s ambassadors to the Arab Muslims in these lands.

TESTIMONY:
While much ministry takes place in the AP itself, those who are connected to the work there also have openings to share the Word of Truth with neighbors they meet in their homelands and during travels.

One PTAP partner has participated in a ministerial fellowship in a part of his home country where little organized ministry to Muslims has been taking place. Recently the ministerial fellowship hosted an outreach
to school-aged children and their families in a local park. While many of the children were of families from African, European, Hispanic, and east Asian heritage, there were a dozen or so families from the Middle East.

Many of the mothers who brought their children expressed genuine interest in learning more. Finding appropriate ways to connect women who will be able to minister to the needs with those mothers who expressed interest is a bit challenging, but the Lord is already beginning to prepare the way. He does not want any to perish.
