One Miracle Night

Diaspora in Canada: Pray for two dear cousins who are struggling academically, firmly committed to their Muslim faith, to be open to stories of God’s love and grace in Jesus.

Pray for continued open gospel discussions with our Muslim friends.

As I write this, I am on my way to India for 10 days. Twenty-five years ago, God used us to start a work in India to reach the K people. K had only a handful of indigenous believers and no full-time field workers. God has used earthquakes, persecution, and passion stirred by His Holy Spirit to grow the beginnings of a movement of K people to following Him. So we are celebrating the accomplishments in K: the NT, the Jesus Film, gospel radio broadcasts, a K themed gospel movie, gospel music CDs, many field workers, new believers, and more.

But challenges continue – the authorities are persecuting believers even more this year, funding field workers is becoming more difficult, and some are tired and discouraged that things are not happening as fast as they’d like. Pray for God to bring joy, a new passion, and great excitement from this time with gospel workers.

Diaspora in Florida: Pray for a young Muslim man, “Larry” reading “Seeking Allah Finding Jesus.” Pray that God will use it to expose the lack of proofs for Islam and to open his heart to Jesus.

Diaspora in Hong Kong: Pray for the resettlement ministry, specifically aimed at helping Middle Eastern and African asylum seekers in Hong Kong who cannot return to their home countries due to ongoing war and violence. Praise God for the recent significant breakthrough, as we have established communications with churches in Canada who are willing to assist us in initiating a few resettlement cases. Pray for additional Canadian churches and Christians to join in supporting and partnering with our ministry in this life-changing work.

Diaspora in Georgia: Pray that the Lord will bring Africans and Mslm’s to the ESL classes and the pregnancy center. Pray that the Lord will break open the two local mosques and set free the captives in them.

Diaspora in Canada: Praise God for people being more receptive to receiving gospel tracts at street corners in the cold winter. Victor had good conversations with A (a Caucasian high schooler who had decided to become a Mslm) and M (a Canadian high schooler with parents from Chad and Nigeria). Pray for these young men’s salvation.

Diaspora all over the world: Our prayer this year is, “Lord, over 19 million Africans are living off the continent. Most of them are not part of your Kingdom. We want to see more disciples made and for that, we need more workers. In obedience to Luke 10:2, we pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into your harvest.”

Diaspora in Hong Kong: Please pray for refugee B and his family who fled from Y*men. Since their arrival, B has been volunteering with some Catholic nuns at a shelter in Hong Kong while seeking asylum for a few years. Recently, an opportunity to resettle in Canada has arisen. A church in Canada is now considering helping him and his family to resettle and continue the gospel work with this family. May this process leads this family to encounter Jesus. May God guide us in exploring creative ways to engage with M*slims through resettlement ministry.

Pray for good times of fellowship, discipleship, and sharing of God’s Word.

Diaspora in Canada: Pray for several of the Som brothers and sisters’ families who are struggling with kids leaving the faith. Pray for the families to be such beacons of love and grace of Jesus that the lost will return.
Most of our Som believing families are having serious issues with mental illness and physical disabilities. Pray for their healing and for us to be channels of God’s peace to them.

Diaspora in Wales: In spite of the reduced attendance due to illness, we are thankful for those who came to the December Women’s English and Sewing classes which explained how and why Jesus was born. Pray for the followup (before the start of Ramadan in March) further exploring why everyone needs Jesus.

Diaspora in Florida: Pray for our Muslim friend “Timothy” who invited us to his Christmas party where the story of Jesus’ birth was read from Matthew and Luke in front of about 30 of his Muslim friends. I hope to visit Timothy again soon. He seems very despondent. Pray he would cry out to God for revelation of the truth.

Diaspora in Florida: Pray for Imam “Barney” who has promised to read the New Testament with a local pastor. Pray the Lord will open his eyes to the truth as he reads.

Diaspora in Georgia: Please pray that all the students in my ESL class will attend faithfully and each one will give a clear testimony of faith in Jesus by the end of the school year.

May they see that Jesus is the only one who can set them free.

Diaspora in Canada: Several families near and dear to us have hurt each other deeply, some very recently, others nursing long term hurts. Impulsive behaviour, deep wounds, and lack of forgiveness have contributed to huge rifts, much pain, and alienation. Please pray that God will intervene in this terrible situation and use us as His agents of “nabadda iyo dib u heshiisiinta” (Peace and reconciliation).

Diaspora in Michigan: Praise God for the 27 families who came to the Christmas party. Pray the truth of the gospel of Luke would take root in their hearts.
