Lives Saved in Afghanistan

As we thank God this week for His blessings, let’s also thank Him for answered prayers for Afghanistan, for those who have been rescued from danger and for the courageous people who have been involved in those rescues. Most of these stories cannot be told publicly for security reasons, but here is one beautifully re-writtenContinue reading “Lives Saved in Afghanistan”

The Hazara of Afghanistan

The Shi’ite Muslim Hazara have already lost more than half their population due to ethnic cleansing by Pashtun rulers and the Sunni Muslim Taliban over the years, but now that international troops have withdrawn, violence has increased all the more against this ancient people group native to central Afghanistan. Lord of Heaven and Earth, pleaseContinue reading “The Hazara of Afghanistan”

Prayer for Taiwan

Tension has risen in East Asia since Friday, as China has flown 149 aircraft inside Taiwan’s air defense zone, including 56 yesterday. (Communist China considers democratic Taiwan a breakaway province.) Let’s pray now, in the midst of earthly conflict, for God’s divine purposes. Lord, we thank You for the freedom Christians have had to worshipContinue reading “Prayer for Taiwan”

Be the Light in Our Darkness, Lord

Let’s continue to pray for those facing power outages in Louisiana and other areas, those still facing fires (even new ones now) in the west, and others in our country who are anxious and grieving losses. Lord, You are the Light of the World. In our time of darkness right now, please shine that Light,Continue reading “Be the Light in Our Darkness, Lord”

A Third of Us

Did you know that 1/3 of the world has been denied access to the Good News? That’s right. Nearly 2.3 billion people are cut off from hearing Jesus’ name. Most of these live in nations closed off to the Gospel message because of oppressive governments and/or religions. Missionaries are forbidden, Christians are persecuted, and seekersContinue reading “A Third of Us”

Preparing for 30 Days of Prayer

Because Ramadan is a Muslim month of fasting and seeking God fervently, He often shows up in miraculous ways, usually through dreams; but at times, He’s been known to replace the Quran with a Bible before the imam reads out loud to those gathered for prayer! Lord, prepare the hearts of every Muslim throughout theContinue reading “Preparing for 30 Days of Prayer”

Loving the lost – John 3:16

The fact that so much of the world still has not heard the Good News could be more a love problem than one of restricted access. How deeply do you love? How far are you willing to go to see Christ’s Kingdom come to the ends of the earth? Will you share with your neighbors? WithContinue reading “Loving the lost – John 3:16”

Pray for the Light to overtake the darkness

Did you consider not celebrating Christmas this year? What got you thinking along those lines?  Christmas takes on a whole new meaning when you live where it is forbidden. (Read more at my blog.) Pray for the Light to dawn in the darkness. Isaiah 9:2. For the underground church to grow so fast, so deep inContinue reading “Pray for the Light to overtake the darkness”
