We praise God that missionary pilot Ryan Koher and the two elderly South Africans, W.J. du Plessis and Eric Dry, who were detained together with him, have been granted a provisional release from prison. Their case is ongoing, so they must remain in Mozambique at this time. Let’s pray the final outcome will be aContinue reading “Provisional Release for Pilot Ryan”

Outpouring Spreads Far Beyond Asbury
Over the past couple of weeks, a sweet outpouring of the Spirit has flooded Asbury University in Kentucky, drawing 15-20,000 people to that little town of 6,000, healing relationships and setting people free from addiction, anxiety and other strongholds. As college students worshipped the Lord around the clock, confessing their sin, reading Scripture, and openingContinue reading “Outpouring Spreads Far Beyond Asbury”
Extremist Meets Jesus in a Vision
Over the past few weeks, we’ve shared story after story of persecuted and martyred Christians, usually at the hands of Muslim extremists. Converts from Islam and those who help them to faith are in the greatest danger, especially in Africa, where more than 90% of the world’s Christian martyrs last year took their last earthlyContinue reading “Extremist Meets Jesus in a Vision”
Letter from Imprisoned Pilot
Here at the Prayer Wall, we have been asking the Lord for the quick release of a pilot with Mission Aviation Fellowship, Ryan Koher, and two South Africans who helped with his ministry. The three are being held in a maximum security prison in Mozambique on an accusation of “supporting terrorism” because of an intendedContinue reading “Letter from Imprisoned Pilot”
Hope for Yemen
Yemen is 99.7% Muslim and considered one of the top most dangerous countries in the world for seekers and followers of Jesus. As intense as persecution of Christians has been, nearly a decade of violent, hate-filled war between Muslims themselves has led many Yemenis to question their beliefs, seek Truth and find Jesus. God ofContinue reading “Hope for Yemen”
Hindu Woman Finds Jesus
Ria* was born into a religion with elaborate rituals for worshipping as many as 330 million gods. But in the 1970s, she began a quest for truth, asking questions about other religions. At last, two years ago, God brought Maleah* into her life. As the younger Christian shared Jesus’ love, Ria resisted at first, sayingContinue reading “Hindu Woman Finds Jesus”
Myanmar: Miracle Turns Buddhist to Christ
Buddhist extremists have long persecuted Christians in Myanmar, often quite violently. Gawa (not her real name), a staunch Buddhist, also grew up hating Christians, even though many in her tribe had come to Christ. When she became paralyzed, her parents took her to Buddhist monks, offering expensive sacrifices for her healing. When that didn’t work,Continue reading “Myanmar: Miracle Turns Buddhist to Christ”
Myanmar: Release of Political Prisoners
About 6,000 of some 13,000 political prisoners detained for resisting Myanmar’s brutal military rule were set to be released yesterday, following a summit of Southeast Asian leaders who criticized the military for wrecking that country with violence since the coup early last year. The junta has killed about 2,300 people, bombing schools, burning down wholeContinue reading “Myanmar: Release of Political Prisoners”
Stories from Syria: A Dream of Jesus
Here at the Prayer Wall, as we pray for the Middle East, we often pray for Jesus to meet Muslims in their dreams, because that is one of the main ways they are coming to faith without access to the Gospel. This week, a missionary friend shared with me this story about a Syrian womanContinue reading “Stories from Syria: A Dream of Jesus”
Stories from Syria: Tortured Like Jesus
Altair (not his real name) endured excruciating torture at the hands of Syrian forces for many months as they sought information on his brother fighting in the resistance army — information Altair did not have. At some point in his life, he had seen the Jesus Film, and as they stretched his arms out likeContinue reading “Stories from Syria: Tortured Like Jesus”
