Praise

Thank you for praying for new workers - we give praise that a number of people have come
here for a 1-2 year commitment. Please continue praying, especially for people who want to
give a longer term commitment.

Prayer

Some Arabic Christian programming is now being included in the “standard package” of some
satellite broadcast sellers. Please pray for Arabian Peninsula Muslims to find and watch these
programs, and that God would open their eyes and ears to believe His Truth.

When our friend went to the local shop, he got into a conversation with the shop keeper, who
subsequently asked for a Bible! He was able to take one to him later in the week. Pray for the
shopkeeper, that he would read the Word and that the Word would do its work in him. We are
guessing that this is his first contact with the Word.

Please pray against the spirit of fear among those that work here and healing of broken
relationships due to recent events.

Let us remember that we are in a spiritual battle for this land and the people. While there are
physical battles here, there is also the prince of darkness and his followers working to wreck
havoc in this country. Pray that the believers here will remain strong in the Word and remember
that the victory belongs to the King. Lift up all the believers this week, bringing them before
the throne of grace. Pray that they remain surrounded in the armor of God.

“A.H.” was once disowned by his wife and family, when he turned from Islam to the Lord Jesus.
Now his sons are meeting with him and a discipler to study the Bible together. Pray that the
sons will also believe, and that a church might develop from within their family.

Testimony

“Fred’s” New Year’s resolution is to: “to know and walk closer to GOD and to live happily ever
after with my wife, “Beth”, and my kids.”

“Beth” believes that God wants to use their marriage to redeem “Fred”. This past month, “Beth”
was spending time in prayer and fasting and asked “Fred” to join her. Each night they would
gather together and pray in their room. Please pray for this family as “Beth” continues to show
the light of Christ to her husband.

Pray also for “Fred”, that his resolution to know and walk closer to God will lead Him to
experience the true closeness to God found only through Christ.
