Praying for Muslims

Java Evangelism


We love to share Speedy's messages with you. On January 8th he wrote of Nawang bringing another young man to whom he was witnessing to Speedy for further instruction in the faith. Adho was reborn of the water and the Spirit that day. Speedy goes on to thank God and praying people for the good results being seen among the Bees of late.

A long time worker among the Bees recently wrote in a prayer guide that more Bees came to the Lord in Pleasant Port in 2011 than in all of Beeland in the previous 10 years. Whether that is totally accurate or not, we do know God is working because folk like you are praying; and folk like Speedy are faithfully sharing the Good News.

We would like to make a couple of tools available that can enhance your prayers for Muslims in Indonesia and elsewhere. There is a prayer movement encouraging concerted prayer for Muslims on their special day of worship, Friday. These guides will help you learn more about Muslim faith and practice. The suggested prayers will bless your prayer life. We have several booklets available and would be thrilled to mail you one. Send us your address and our forwarding agents will get one off to you. You can also access the material on-line (sharifbible.com). When you see Arabic writing that looks like hen-scratching to those of us who can't read it, be patient, scroll down the page and you will find a click-able table to access weekly prayer guides.

The good folk at Mission Services Association are printing and distributing copies of a prayer guide for the Bees revised by long term workers among them. Again please contact us for a booklet to be mailed to you. I hope we will be able to make some soft-copies available soon.

Thank you for praying. Prayer is the essential ministry. Activity is often the "mopping up" operation.

As you pray, please remember our efforts in Ambon. A missions course is planned for February. Our United for the Nations prayer times faces challenges in forming a solid core of prayer warriors. The holiday season set back our plans for an agricultural project among a neglected people group. We are starting an English Club for small children, pray that Muslim families will also participate. Ask God to give us wisdom. Ambon is currently in a state of guarded peace.

In Him,

Dennis and Lynn
