Please pray…

…for training programs in Southeast Asia and Asia Pacific to speak clearly into the hearts of workers who are seeking God’s will for their lives. Pray that through their studies God would impress upon them the opportunities that exist for outreach to Muslim women in their cities and remote places. Pray that they would respond by committing to mission for the sakes of these women.

…for Christian women in a very restricted nation (which cannot yet be named in this venue), who lead or actively participate in the underground church movement. They are vulnerable to government surveillance, and the church as a whole is experiencing a new wave of persecution. Pray that the love of the Father, which casts away all fear, would preside over their hearts and minds in these difficult days.

God has heard your prayers for the conference mentioned on April 14. Both men and women whose life callings place them in Muslim contexts have been encouraged and equipped for their work. Continue to pray for them as they travel back to the countries they serve, for their safety and for the reaping of great harvests in the coming weeks and months.

…for Muslim women in Australia to find Christian friends that will lead them to Jesus. Many Asian Muslims with refugee status have settled there. Pray that in their transitions and adjustments they would seek and find Truth that transforms.

…for Christian Korean women whose life passion is outreach to Muslim women. Many of them minister in countries that are very restricted and closed to Western presence. Pray that God will bless their efforts with language, culture, and creative access endeavors where they live and work.

…for the family, friends and work left behind by a woman who bravely served Muslims as a Bible translator in a very remote region of a politically sensitive nation. On Sunday she died in a head-on collision in the U.S., after sharing her heart with a supporting church. She served this specific people group for over 26 years. She left them with an alphabet, literacy programs, and the presence of Jesus. Pray that even in her passing, those she spent her life reaching will be drawn to the Lord that she so fervently served. Pray that her translation work would provide gospel witness to this people group for generations to come.

A special, urgent prayer request from a friend of Karima:

Karima(not real name) is a 30 year old lady who has been here for two years. She comes from a religious family. Karima suffers from MS and takes injections daily. Her husband is through with Islam and follows no faith. When they arrived here he told Karima to remove her scarf which was really hard for her as it gave her her identity. Over the past two years he has fully allowed me to teach her the Word. He’s a big tough guy and used to be a smuggler in his country. Sometimes he has sat through these times with us. Weekly we have read through the Toddlers Bible story book in English and finished it now. We also read the same story in the Bible in her language. Then I have her repeat the story to me in her language. This is to not only help her to solidify the truths but also to prepare her for teaching others one day. The husband laughed one day as he sat in on our times and joked, “You keep her very busy!” She put away Islamic prayers and reading the Qur’an. She has given her heart to Jesus. She has prayed numerous times infront of her husband. He is very moved by it. She hasn’t gone to church yet nor been baptized though she wants to do both. I’m not 100% sure where her husband stands on this. All of this is to say she has been on a steady journey step by step. Her faith is that of a spiritual baby. Now….on the 25th she and her husband and son will go for a month to her country where it is forbidden to convert and consequences could be serious and she isn’t a Canadian citizen yet. She is vulnerable as a woman, with having a serious case of MS, and as a baby believer. I have promised her that I will pray for her every day. She is walking into hazardous territory. If any of you are willing to pray for her I’d really appreciate that. I believe that the Spirit will preserve her and strengthen her faith.
