Persecution: United Arab Emirates, an Islamic state, ranks number 45 on Open Doors 2019 World Watch List. All citizens are categorized as Muslim and conversion to Christianity is punishable by death.

Pray for God to provide ways to evangelize through technology, in spite of government-run Internet blocking Christian sites. Pray for courage for converts afraid to reveal their faith.

Praise God for all He is accomplishing in Cuba.

Ask God to give Steve strength and peace while Becky is away.

Bulgaria: Josh and Lydia Provow ministered to 19-year-old Turk, orphaned at age three, over the last week under remarkable, God-led circumstances.

Pray God will give Josh and Lydia wisdom and guidance as they depend on the Holy Spirit.

Japan: Daniel and Kate Speer and their daughters Audrey and Analeigh departed early yesterday, February 26, for ministry in Tokyo, Japan. They arrived this morning.

India: Pray for the leaders of India and Pakistan as they consider all-out war after India’s retaliatory strike (a suicide bomb in Kashmir on February 14 killed at least 40 paramilitary police) on Tuesday, February 26. Ask God to give Christians in both countries spirits of peace and grace. Pray God will use this for good, opening opportunities for the gospel to spread.

France: Around this time last year, the St. Sebastién church officially installed a church council of four men and their wives (Jonathan and Michelle, Guillaume and Kathleen, Clément and Esther, and Michael and Coralie) to lead the congregation. Continue to pray for these families as they seek God’s guidance for themselves and the church. Ask God to grant wisdom, harmony, flexibility, and grace as they work together for the growth of God’s Kingdom.

Samburu: Praise God for all He is doing among the Samburu! Eddy Simmons reports Jackson and Eunice, their Samburu coworkers, led 14 women, four teens, and one man to the Lord on Saturday, February 23.

Also, the translation of key Old Testament passages is moving forward with the hiring of a Samburu translator. Pray for wisdom as the Simmons work with this man to deliver God’s Word to the Samburu in their heart language. Pray also for Eddy’s health as he continues to recover from surgery.
