Yemen, Arabian Peninsula Day 24 - July 11, 2015 As Muslims are praying and fasting during Ramadan, we pray for them.
God did this [war, hardship] so that they [Yemeni] would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.
All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations will bow down before him, Christians focused on Yemen are asking us to pray Acts 17:27 and Psalm 22:27 with them.
There are four major factions fighting each other in Yemen and there are outside forces also part of the uprisings. The situation changes daily. Pray for the establishment of stability, law and order all across the country.
Pray for the groups of believers in two main cities and for the scattered ones in others that they might be established in Christ. Pray that local believers would become family to one another, and be forgiving and including one another. Pray that God would help them focus on being trustworthy as opposed to trusting, that they would desire to give honor rather than seek it, and that they would count others as more important than themselves.
Pray that the foreign workers would live out and model to local believers how to love one another. Pray that workers inside Yemen would set an example by modeling a kingdom lifestyle, that they would show wisdom to know when to stay and when to leave, and that they would have love for the other workers.
Pray that workers outside Yemen can rest in God's sovereignty rather than in their frustration at not being able to go into Yemen. Source: Christians in Yemen
As the new Shiite Houthi rebels from the north of Yemen dissolved the government of Yemen, their supporters waved banners saying; "Death to America, death to Israel, a curse on the Jews and a victory to Islam." According to AP writer Ahmed Al-Haj, this new rebel government faces one of the most violent al-Qaeda groups anywhere in the world in southern Yemen. Pray for the country of Yemen. With such words of death and cursing, they do not know the judgment they will face. Pray that God will move Yemen away from civil war, involving Shiite, Sunni, al-Qaeda, and other tribes, and into a place of peace (The Bible, Philippians 4:7).
