“Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved,” (Acts 4:12, NKJV).

Dear Intercessors, this is Eleanor Witcher of the Office of Global Prayer Strategy, expressing thanks for social media.

S is a first-generation Thai believer who lives in a village in southern Thailand with her family. Recently she and a group of believers in different parts of southern Thailand decided to spend a Saturday praying and fasting for the leadership of a company they either currently work for or have worked for in the past. Using Facebook, they shared Scripture and specific prayer requests. One friend named P asked if she could be a part of the day of prayer and fasting--but she was not a believer. S was glad to share with her the Scripture and prayer requests but wondered what was in store that day with an unbeliever participating. When the designated time was over, P messaged S on Facebook and shared that she had never experienced anything like that before. She asked S to tell her more about this God. Using Facebook, S shared her testimony and details about the one, true Creator God and His Son, Jesus. After messaging back and forth, S asked if P wanted to begin a personal relationship with Jesus. P replied yes. Using Facebook, S led her friend--and now her sister in Christ--to Him. Isn’t it amazing that when the Father is ready to work in someone’s life, He will use whatever tool He chooses!

* Please pray for P as she connects with believers in her town and grows in her new faith.

* Consider your opportunities to share the Gospel through Facebook--Twitter, email, blogs, texting--and ask the Lord for a vision of how you can minister to others using the amazing social media now available.

* There is no salvation in any name other than that of Jesus. Intercede for believers to proclaim His name throughout the nations.
