Pray for 3 18-yr old Muslim men staying with a Christian host family up the street from us--that they would experience and know God's love for them through Jesus as they live there.

Our alumni and his family in Afghanistan, that God will keep them safe and continue to show them who Jesus is and that they will find safe passage out of the country and know that it was Jehovah God that brought them out.

Great prayer hour today with Lynne. Holy Spirit gave me scripture of 1 Corinthians 2:9-13 That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.” But it was to us that God revealed these things by his Spirit. For his Spirit searches out everything and shows us God’s deep secrets. No one can know a person’s thoughts except that person’s own spirit, and no one can know God’s thoughts except God’s own Spirit. And we have received God’s Spirit (not the world’s spirit), so we can know the wonderful things God has freely given us. When we tell you these things, we do not use words that come from human wisdom. Instead, we speak words given to us by the Spirit, using the Spirit’s words to explain spiritual truths.

Pray for S and E, a couple from Bangladesh who the Lord has given my husband and I favor with. They are Muslim. S is studying at Lamar University in Beaumont, TX and is currently in her 2nd trimester of pregnancy! Pray that God would give us clear opportunities to talk about Him with them. Pray that God would be pursuing their hearts with His love!

For EA from Saudi whom I have been mentoring since Covid began. He, along with sweet wife N, are very open seekers and very devout Ms. He openly tells me of his "love" for Jesus but needs to break thru the barrier of Jesus's true identity. Pray against the enemy's hold on his mind, and to at last embrace the Savior. We have studied M28, John's Gospel and Romans 1-8 up til now. Lord, remove the blinders from his eyes to see you, high and lifted up.

Please pray for wisdom to our leadership team while we plan the start of next semester. Rather we should start our activities virtually or in-person.

Please pray for boldness over our Believing students and that they would take ownership of their Faith to share with their classmates, professors, and more the GOOD NEWS! And would they prioritize sharing and knowing Jesus even over their studies.
