"This is the account of Noah. Noah was a righteous man. ..." Genesis 6:9ff (NIV)

PRAISE:
We are praising the Lord for the offer to help a young believer find a job and get a legal visa. There are many uncertainties, but we are thankful that the Lord has opened the door so far.

PETITION:
Pray for spiritual hunger and protection for all of the Muslim background believers during Ramadan.

Pray for new tentmaker workers in the country. Pray for God's help and sustaining grace when so many things are new and they are making many decisions about lifestyle, language learning and ministry. Pray for God's anointing and power to be present in their lives. Pray for their children, too, that they would adjust well and feel positive about coming to live here.

For continued prayer for the workers here that we will seek to stay within God's will in this dry barren land.

That what we have, is more precious than any amount of laws and works, it is God's gift to us and we want to be able to share that with our local friends and neighbours
during this next month.

Continue to pray for the Believer who is still in jail. Pray that his physical needs are being provided for and that the Lord's presence is very evident to him.


TESTIMONY:
For every year of his life previous to this one, Baraka looked to the legal requirements of Ramadan to cleanse him and guarantee him forgiveness. Now, with new life in Issa al Messih, Baraka fasts with a different intention - that of drawing near to God. Muslims hear the Qur'an recited in the mosques every evening during Ramadan, but Baraka wanted to try something different. 'Brendan, do you think maybe we could read together this month? Instead of the Qur'an, I'd like to look at all the stories of the prophets.' What an awesome request from a young man with such a zeal for God's word! We've read through Adam and Noah so far, looking at how these prophets are just like us and how God's promise of the Messiah runs through them both. Baraka is loving these stories, and so am I.
