Fasting is coming up soon!
At the end of this month begins the fasting month for Muslims around the world. Please pray for the PB people during this time that through their giving up of food, drink, cigarettes, etc that the Lord open their minds, souls, and hearts to Himself. Pray for their salvation. During the fasting month, Muslims have the appearance of being devout and almost pious.... the appearance that is.... we know as Christians that our standing before God has nothing to do with our works but all about the Work of God through the Sacrificial Lamb, our Savior... aka Jesus Christ. Pray that our PB communities will come to know the Bread of Life, the Living Water, and that they will NEVER go thirsty again.
Visa
While I try to keep this blog about the PB and our national partners that are out there everyday ministering to the PB people, I do want to ask you to pray for our family. We are awaiting return to PB land and have been delayed for a month due to visa problems. Would you join us in praying for our visa that it would come through quickly and that we may return to PB land?
New believers
Please pray for new followers of Christ that they will be willing and desire to gather in groups with other believers and study the Scriptures. That they will grow and put their faith into practice as individuals and a community of believers. That they would be obedient to the Scriptures. Pray that they would share the Gospel with their families and communities.
Discipleship issues
Please pray for our national partners also in that when new followers of Christ arise, then our national partners will quickly, lovingly, and effectively begin discipling the new followers of Christ. Teaching them how to read and study the Scriptures, how to pray, and other spiritual disciplines. Pray that our national partners will show the new followers of Christ the mandate from Jesus that the Gospel is for all those around them, in their families, and in the communities, and for the nation, and world.
Thank for you for your patience friends as the updates have been VERY sporadic. We are praying we return to PB land soon and can hear one on one accounts of the work there in PB land. In the meantime, our brothers and sisters there have asked for pray for the requests above.
May God bless you.
