(pah-MEER-ees) – The Glacier People are very proud of their home and heritage. To many, their valley is the most beautiful and fertile place in the world even though life there is so hard that most of them have to leave to seek work elsewhere. There are few economic opportunities, no industries, and almost no work outside of farming and animal husbandry. In this insular Muslim valley, a group has heard and started to respond to the gospel. Some are prominent in the community; others are young men with little influence. None are yet baptized, but they are learning and growing in their faith. Pray for the Glacier People who are believers. Ask for their faith to be strengthened and for them to learn the Word diligently and follow it faithfully. Pray for protection from the many who want to do them harm and for boldness to proclaim their faith. Ask God to convict them of the need to be baptized and to gather together so a church can be planted among them. Pray for the massive majority who haven’t heard and aren’t interested. Ask the Spirit to give them open eyes and soft hearts to overcome their enslavement to a lie.
