Throughout October, millions of people are praying through the 10-40 Window. Today the focus is on Lebanon. Let's join this network in focusing on the following: Praise Report Praise God for the way Lebanon has helped care for Syrian refugees and for its effort to be neutral in this conflict of radically different ideologies resulting in major atrocities of innocent civilians (Proverbs 12:20). Prayer Request Pray that as the Lebanese government seeks a speedy and safe return of Syrian refugees to Syria, that they will find the best way to do so that gives dignity and hope to these traumatized people (Romans 2:10). Transformational Prayer Pray for major Christian media producers in Lebanon to continue to produce life- transforming media to the Arab world; may Christian media bring great glory to God the Father (Matthew 5:16). Call to Salvation Pray that people in Lebanon realize that many of them are on the road leading to destruction; pray they will come to the narrow road leading to eternal life found in Jesus Christ (The Bible, Matthew 7:13-14).

 John * visited Syria in March 2017 and felt that the atmosphere was rather depressing with many check points along the way. When he returned in August, he felt a change in the air. “People are feeling more hopeful for the future. Some refugees and internally displaced people are starting to return to their homes” John shares. Reconstruction - John and his delegation met with various leaders in Syria. These ministers and deputy ministers are indicating that they feel the civil war is ending and they need help to rebuild Syria! The destruction was massive, with almost half of the 22 million population misplaced, infrastructure destroyed and buildings collapsed. But, where to begin?The civil war started in Homs with 40% of the city buildings destroyed, many beyond repair! At the same time there is the beauty of some families starting to rebuild their own houses and shop buildings! In many areas there are still no electricity or water supplies.The country needs to be rebuild. The economy needs to be reestablished. New jobs & new opportunities needs to be created! Business people from China sees this as a golden opportunity to do business and make money, an opportunity to sell their products, technologies and services. The risk is high, but they are willing to come. Are Christians willing to say yes to this challenge? Are believers willing to say that we will take the risk, step out in faith and see a nation restored? This is the moment and the opportunity to help in the reconstruction and rebuilding of lives, while having the opportunity to share God’s love in their time of need. * Name changed for security reasons  Throughout October, millions of people are praying through the 10-40 Window. Today the focus is on Iraq. Let's join this network in focusing on the following: Praise Report Praise God that the battle for Mosel, Iraq is over and the extreme violence in the city caused by Daesh (ISIS) has ended (Proverbs 12:20). Prayer Request Pray protection over the families of Daesh (ISIS) as they face revenge from those they persecuted, pray for an increase of grace and forgiveness (Matthew 18:21-35). Transformational Prayer Mosel is no longer under the religious powers of Daesh (ISIS); pray Mosel will be transformed into a city with no corruption. Pray they will be carriers of God’s grace (Ephesians 4:29). Pray for a greater outpouring of God's Spirit on all provinces, cities and areas of Iraq. (Joel 2:28-29). Call to Salvation Pray that salvation will come down like gentle rain on the people of Iraq, including North Iraq (Kurdistan) and they will experience the grace of God (The Bible, Luke 18:27).

He read somewhere on the internet that the ancient “Medes” are the predecessors of the Kurdish people, and that the Bible mentions them a couple of times.Rakan is Kurdish. He grew up as a Muslim in a Muslim country, but he has never felt accepted in the Muslim community where Arabic is the only holy language: prayer has to be done in Arabic and the word of God is only really accessible in Arabic, too. I shared the story of Pentecost with Rakan and his wife, Shirin, and we discussed how God demonstrated in the language miracle that he speaks to us in every language. At the end we looked up the verses that mention the presence of some Medes at Pentecost, among other ancient ethnic groups from our area: Maybe there were already some “Kurdish” believers in the first church in Jerusalem? Rakan and Shirin are both full of questions concerning scripture and faith. But they are also full of fear that they may have to face persecution if they followed Jesus. Rakan and Shirin are still hesitant to grasp the offer to study the word of God regularly. Please pray that their interest will become a real, lasting hunger and thirst for God. Please also pray for peace in Iraq. Since the referendum for independence last week there have been threats of violence from all sides. Pray specifically that the governments in Baghdad, Erbil (the capital of Kurdistan) and Istanbul would seek and find peaceful solutions.  |
