PRAYER
Thousands of villages dot the mountains in an Arabian country. A young man from one of them heard about the Book from a city friend who came to visit him on holiday. The lad began to read it, even traveling to the city with questions. Pray that he will think about the answers he received. Pray that he will continue to read the Book and believe what it says. Pray that people in every mountain village will have the chance to hear the Good News.
Since there have been some attacks or rumors of attacks on foreigners in this country, some workers tend to get fearful and rather not go anywhere. Pray for protection and against fear, that workers continue to be a light (don't hide your light under the bushel).
A longtime worker in his country, Dan has been notified that his university contract is not renewed for next fall. The Board of Trustees is not saying why, but rumor has it that it is due to Dan's "proselytizing". Dan has another seven months. Pray that he will make the most of them, with clarity and love, making the gospel known to students and others.
Pray for local believers who are pressured into marrying a non-believer. That God would either intervene in the arrangements or that He would draw the spouse to Him.
TESTIMONY
Two lady workers invited a group of local ladies over for coffee, just after Christmas. They hoped to be able to share something spiritual with them, but the first 1 and half hour's there were no openings. Then one neighbor asked which book was laying on the bookstand. It was a Bible in Arabic/English. This gave an opportunity to let her read the Christmas story, which led to some more spiritual talk. Pray for those neighbor ladies that they will grow an interest in reading the Bible and to know more about the Christian faith
