Zealous Faith
"Fan into flame the gift that was given to you ..." 2Timothy 1:6
PRAISE:
Thank God that the Believer who was in prison was released. Pray for him as he processes what he went through, how he should respond to his family and friends and for his safety in the future.
PETITION:
Pray for the tentmaker team in the upper Arabian Gulf region that is undergoing change - new people joining the team, others leaving for a time period. Pray for all the missionary teams across the AP.
Pray for the continued growth and discipleship of young woman from a neighboring country. She came to Jesus under strained conditions, was pushed out of her home and is now being discipled by a group of believers.
Pray for the protection of an MBB that recently left our country to seek refuge in another Arab country. He has not been heard from since he was forced to leave his first country visited after leaving the AP. Pray that his eyes will always be fixed on Jesus.
Pray for Swahili speaking nationals in Oman. They are a significant part of the national population and needing a witness for the gospel among them. Pray for fruit and for open hearts.
Pray for the Chinese church in the Arabian Peninsula. There are hundreds of Chinese believers each year added to His family. Pray for continued open doors for the Chinese to come to faith outside their own country.
TESTIMONY:
A young man from a neighboring Muslim country came to faith when he was in his late teens. Shortly after he came to faith, his brother came to follow Jesus. Then in rapid succession, his parents came to Christ.
Our young friend came to our city to look for work, which he got in less than 2 days. He has been actively reflecting Jesus' love and grace to the Muslims in his work place. He lives in a 2.5 m x 3 m sized room with 10 other adult men who work with him. He stuggles to find time and a quiet place to read his Bible. He works often 7 days a week, from noon to 1 am. He wants to get married but has a job with no status. He has little or no money to spend on discretionary items. He struggles to get to church, but his boss has shown him favor in allowing him infrequent Friday mornings off. He is aggressive in his faith - just this week he brought another man of his own background to church to hear the Word.
Please pray for our dear brother. Pray for perseverance. Pray for peace. Pray for God's blessing on him and for the favor of his employers. Pray for the many he has shared his faith with in the 1 year he has lived in this country.
