Beyond
the Wall
Sharing
the God of love with Muslims
Pentecost
prayer challenge to focus on peoples of the Arabian Peninsula
On Pentecost
Sunday, May 30, Southern Baptists across America will unite
in prayer, asking God to help 43 million people in seven countries
of the Arab world understand how much He loves them. Lead
your church to join in united prayer -- and use this day to
lead your church into a deeper commitment to pray for the
world year round. Order
the free resource kit -- including video segments in English,
Korean and Spanish -- to lead this day in your church. Learn
more.
What
next?
After
the Day of Prayer and Fasting for World Evangelization, then
what? The world will not be won to Jesus in a single day.
What about May 31, and June 1, and June 2 …?
Get
on your knees again, asking God how He wants you participate
in what He is doing as a result of the Day of Prayer and Fasting.
When your heart has been stirred to compassion and you want

Revelation
7 tells us that one day people from all tribes and tongues
and nations will worship at the throne of God. Rejoice that
there now is at least one Bihari of Bangladesh before that
throne. "K" came to faith in Jesus Christ during
the turbulent 1980s that followed the war in which Bangladesh
gained independence from Pakistan. A courageous elderly missionary
woman had faithfully shared God's Word with K. After his baptism,
his community was furious and severely persecuted him. Under
great pressure, K resorted to following Jesus in secret. Last
November, K, about 70 years old, died. Pray that other Bihari
Muslims will follow Jesus, and that one day thousands of Biharis
from Bangladesh will praise the Lord at His throne.
Find
more prayer requests for the Biharis of Bangladesh and India.
