Chadian Arabs: Pray for young people who have recently heard about Jesus and are open to continued conversations. Ask for the Holy Spirit’s guidance in future meetings and discussions. Pray that the chaplaincy team would have wisdom, sensitivity, and courage as they continue building relationships. May these young people experience God’s presence and respond to His invitation.
Reading and Listening
Chadian Arabs: Pray for several patients and families at G2 who have shown interest in learning more about Jesus, including those who have begun reading the New Testament and those continuing to listen to Christian radio after returning home. These individuals are engaging with Scripture in different ways. Pray that God would speak to them clearly through His Word and through what they hear. Ask that their curiosity would grow into faith and transformation.
Father and Son
Chadian Arabs: Pray for a former patient who has returned to the G2 hospital after a long stay some years ago. During his previous time, he had opportunities to learn about Jesus, and now he has come back with his son and is open to hearing more. Pray that these renewed connections would allow for continued discipleship and encouragement. Ask that both father and son would grow in understanding and respond to the good news.
Conversations during the Fasting Month
Chadian Arabs: Pray for several individuals who have recently heard about Jesus through conversations during Ramadan and hospital visits. Some have shown a genuine interest in continuing to seek truth and learn more about the gospel. Ask that God would continue to draw them to Himself and open their spiritual eyes. Pray that these early conversations would lead to deeper understanding and lasting faith.
Wife and Mom
Chadian Arabs: Pray for a sister who continues following Christ, but has little opportunity for fellowship. Through the years, she has been severely persecuted and her husband, has often spoken of divorcing her and taking away the children. Ask that God will turn his heart to understand his need of a Saviour. May this sister maintain the joy she has in believing and continue to teach her children the truths of the gospel.
Reading the Word
Chadian Arabs: Pray for 3 men who are reading the Your Word outside of English class. Please give them understanding. Let Your Word come alive to them. Remove confusion, doubt, and fear. Lead them to a place of full surrender to You. We also pray for others we may not know of who have heard the stories or have access to Scripture. Seek them out, Lord. Call them to Yourself. Create in them a hunger to read Your Word and a deep desire to know the truth.
