CBM Prayerline THAILAND The team of students led by Conrad and Fiona Kwok are back from evangelizing in the mountainous region of Thailand. Thank God for touching the hearts of both children and adults in the five villages they visited. Ask that the Holy Spirit protect and instruct the people who responded to the gospel presentation. Petition God to send people to disciple them. Praise God for the man who destroyed his household idols! Ask that he be emboldened by the Holy Spirit to be a witness for Christ among his people. Ask that God continue to work in powerful ways among the villagers and that more villagers will turn to Christ as saviour and lord. Ask that the Kwok’s team be inspired to continue to proclaim the gospel boldly wherever they go. LEBANON Praise God for all the resources He has provided for the relief response in Syria and Lebanon. Pray for protection, renewal and strength for of all those involved in the relief effort inside Syria and in Lebanon. The pastors and their teams are exhausted. Ask that God refresh them by His Spirit and petition Him to send help and sufficient resources to nourish and sustain those who minister and are ministered to. Pray for the Syrian refugees (both Christian and non Christian) that they may find succour and welcome elsewhere. Pray that the Lebanese parliament not close their hearts and the country’s border to the homeless until alternative arrangements can be made. Ask for an end to the conflict in that region. KENYA Please pray for continued restoration in the North Eastern Province (NEP) of Kenya after the violence that wreaked havoc in the area over the last number of years. Ask that the work being done to strengthen Christian-Muslim relationships in the area will continue apace and that God will break down the barriers that prevent reconciliation and collaboration among the different people groups that inhabit the area. Pray that the Christian workers who labour in NEP might be given boldness and courage to proclaim the gospel in both Word and deed such that Christ might be glorified among the inhabitants.
