MISSIONS BOARD
I exhort therefore, that,
first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be
made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may
lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight
of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be
saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.-I Timothy 2:1-4
WORLD LEADERS.
Please pray today for Governor Andrew Gurr of Saint
Helena (South Atlantic Ocean, midway
between South America and Africa).
FRENCH CREOLE
INTELLECTUALS/PROFESSIONALS OF GUADELOUPE. Missionaries Al and Judy Gary write: “The concerts with J
and E were a joyous and blessed event. On Friday night, we rented a hotel
conference hall that holds 150 people, and every seat was filled! More than 50
percent of those who attended were visitors, and afterwards, as many stayed to visit, we saw small groups forming as people were
reconnecting with long-lost friends and acquaintances. It was as if God had put
together a kaleidoscope of people, coming together in complete harmony. Pray
for us that as we follow up on these contacts, God will continue to draw people
to Himself.” http://www.macregion.org
MESTIZOS OF NON-URBAN QUERETARO,
MEXICO (keh-REH-tah-roh). A small seed starts to grow
with nourishment and patience. After two years of training and discipling and starting a house church, the group in San
Juan del Rio is beginning to talk about multiplying to
new areas. They are talking about their vision for other parts of Queretaro. They are talking about
how they can reach more people for Jesus Christ and train new leaders. Within
the group are several prospective leaders, one of whom has asked, “Train me to
start a church.” Others in the group are unsure of their abilities. Please pray
that they will not lose their vision and excitement about planting new
churches. Pray that the physical barriers will not stop them. Pray that they
will not look at their own abilities but look to what God can do through them.
Pray that they will understand why and when it is time to multiply their group
in order to start new churches. Pray that the house church in San Juan del Rio
will be bold, brave and ready to plant new churches in Queretaro. http://www.macregion.org
NGABE OF SOUTHERN COSTA RICA AND PANAMA.
The Ngabe (pronounced ing-AW-bay)
are an indigenous people with a population of approximately 200,000 who live in
southern Costa Rica
and Panama. The majority of them live without the modern conveniences of
electricity and running water. The Ngabe
traditionally met their needs by subsistence farming, but due to shortages of
fertile land, more and more Ngabe must spend several
months a year away from home, working for wages in the coffee harvest or on
banana plantations. Animistic beliefs are still a strong part of the Ngabe culture. “Sukias” are
believed to have the ability to heal people and drive away evil spirits. The Ngabe also believe that people can curse others, causing
sickness and death. Estimates show that approximately 6 percent of the Ngabe are evangelical Christians. The New Testament in the Ngabe heart language has just been completed and is now
being distributed. Please pray for the evangelization of the Ngabe people.
RURAL HAITIANS OF HAITI
(HAY-shuns). A little lean-to sits on a beautiful hill in Doko
in the Central Plateau of Haiti. There is a young Haitian lay leader, J, who
faithfully encourages the people who gather to worship. Many people wouldn’t
consider this to be a church, but the actual church is the people--the body of
believers. The lean-to only protects from the sun and rain. Actually, there is
a beauty in simplicity that is easily missed. Many of the people in Doko are still not ready for the meat of the Word, so pray
for their spiritual maturity to continue. Pray that they will not be satisfied
with salvation as a “fire-insurance policy,” but will seek life-changing
attitudes and habits. Pray that they will have spiritual understanding and that
they will share with others in their community and beyond. Pray for J as he
continues to lead this church and as he continues to learn more about what
following Christ means in his own life. http://www.macregion.org
CENTRAL CHILENOS OF CHILE (chee-LAY-noh). Please remember Jerry and Paula Bowling as
they start work on a project in the small town of San
Felipe. They are looking for prayer warriors both in Chile
and the USA to
lift up this project. http://www.heartofchile.com
MISSIONS
MOBILIZATION OF BRAZIL. The Mobilization Team in Belem asks you to remember to pray
for a number of seminary students at the Equatorial Baptist Theological
Seminary who are involved in practical ministry experiences. Pray specifically
for the 4,000 or more children who received Bibles in their schools during the
first few weeks of June. May many commit their lives to Christ and begin
attending churches. Lift up three key student leaders who are responsible for
student ministries in the community. Intercede for students in the mission club
who have acknowledged a calling and who are studying “Experiencing God.” Pray
for preparations for the Tent of Hope ministry this year. Lift up a special
partnership between the Brazilian Bible Society and the seminary that will make
four mission trips to involve students in planting a church in an island
community and distribute Bibles in 10 public schools.
REACHING XTREME
PEOPLES OF SOUTH AMERICA. Please lift up national team members as they manage their
time and resources to be able to train and work for two years. Intercede
especially for C to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit’s leading. May the Father
provide for every need and bring abundant harvest for His kingdom through these
faithful workers. http://www.theXtremeTeam.org
HUNGARIANS OF WESTERN HUNGARY.
Please pray along with David and Tina Taylor, who serve in Keszthely, Hungary,
for the house group that meets there. Pray for strength and wisdom for G and P
as they lead this group to reach out to other Hungarians. Pray that the
Hungarians’ hearts will be open to the gospel so that they can be saved. Pray
especially for Z, asking that she will attend and become a Christian just like
her husband, S.
MALTESE OF MALTA (MAHL-teez). “Rejoice that your prayers are being answered!”
writes Team Malta.
“In recent follow up on some of the people who have prayed with volunteer teams,
we have found evidence of God at work in their lives. Some people were not
truly interested, but there were some who are and they have agreed to future
meetings, although they are not yet interested in attending a church meeting.
Ask that Maltese believers will step up and join Christian workers in reaching
out on a consistent basis to these interested people. Also celebrate that three
Maltese were recently baptized and that two more will be soon. You prayed for
them to be ‘a strong witness to those around them, resulting in even more
people coming to know Christ personally.’ At this recent baptismal service,
there were approximately 15 unsaved family members present. Ask that they will
not be able to forget what they have seen and heard and that they, too, will
come to know Jesus soon.” http://www.praymalta.info
SAUDI ARABS OF SAUDI ARABIA (SAU-dee). “Behold, a sower went out
to sow...” (Matthew 13:3, NASB). Many
volunteers have been sowing the Word in Europe this
summer to thousands who may have never heard the gospel. Volunteers distribute
Scriptures and “JESUS” films to visitors from the Arabian Peninsula,
for whom it is difficult or illegal to obtain the Word in their own countries.
Please pray that God will prepare “good soil” in the hearts of thousands. Ask
that the Word will not be snatched away, nor withered under opposition, nor
choked out by “the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches,” but
rather, that thousands will receive the Word, understand it, grow and bear
fruit. http://www.lovesaudis.com
ONESTORY: WEST AFRICA.
The OneStory Senufo Supyire Team writes: “After a 20-minute walk in 100-plus
degree temperatures to a small pool of brown water that the cows drink from,
our village brother stood in front of his Muslim family. Since he had told his
father that he had chosen a different road, his father did not come to witness
his baptism. But the knowledge of where this other road leads and the joy that
it brings led our brother to take this new road, the ‘Jesus Road,’ which he
knows will lead to eternal life with God. After singing praises until reaching
the creek, a testimony was given about how Jesus has the power to change lives.
Our brother then boldly told the story of Philip and the African man. After
finishing the story, he said, ‘I believe that Jesus is God’s Son. Now I am this
African man. I will be baptized, like him.’ Standing knee deep in the small
pool of brown water, our village brother was then immersed in the water. Praise
God! We sang a song: ‘Jesus Came to Save Lives.’ Join us in thanking Jesus for
saving the life of our African brother.”
WEST
AFRICA BAPTIST CONVENTIONS AND UNIONS. The
Lord gave a missionary a “divine appointment” in northern Ghana.
This missionary shared the “Creation to the Cross” story with a young Muslim
man, and later gave this youth a Bible. When the missionary met him again a few
days later, the young man had already read John’s Gospel and several other
books in the Bible. The following week, the young man found a believer in the
area where he lived, and from that appointment, he found Jesus. Pray for this
Muslim-background believer and others like him who are
new in the faith. Ask the Lord to send someone to disciple them so that they
will be strong in Him and bring others to a saving faith in Jesus.
ZERMA OF NIGER (ZER-mah). Pray for the annual meeting for all personnel in West
Africa that will be taking place this month. Pray for a unified
spirit and spiritual renewal among all who are present. Ask God to give all the
participants safe travel and good health during the conference. Pray that God
will speak individually and corporately to this group of His servants. http://www.zermateam.org
BUSHMEN OF NORTHEAST BOTSWANA.
The Bushmen Team asks: “Pray for a volunteer team from Louisiana
that will be coming to work with the church in Letlhakane
during the second week of August. Pray for the church as they get the team put
together and prepare for their trip out here, and pray for the people in Letlhakane as they plan on hosting the team.”
DINKA OF SOUTHERN SUDAN (DINK-ah).
The older women looked in pity at the new young, single missionary women who
had come to live among them. While these missionaries would be considered
beautiful in the United States,
these older women saw a huge flaw that would make them unacceptable marriage
material: They had not extracted their four front bottom teeth! These older
women, out of love and concern, offered to help them with extracting these
teeth. The Dinka Team writes: “Our cultures differ,
do they not? Sadly, our views of what makes us acceptable to the Lord differ as
well. These Dinka women believe that they must pray
to their ancestor’s spirit and keep them happy at all costs. As these new
single missionary women pour their lives into the Dinka
people, please pray that they will be able to be used to share how women can be
truly acceptable marriage material--to our heavenly Bridegroom, Jesus.” http://sudansouth.org
JOHANNESBURG,
SOUTH AFRICA (joh-HAHN-is-burg).
Please continue to pray for South Africa
in the aftermath of the xenophobic attacks in May and June. The foreigners who
were attacked are still being cared for by the government in refugee camps that
are being set up throughout the country. Please pray for peace to reign so they
can be reintegrated into the society here. Also pray that through these
hardships, many will come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
UNENGAGED PEOPLES
OF CENTRAL, EASTERN AND SOUTHERN AFRICA. Leaders F, W and P became friends when they studied
together in Theological Education by Extension (TEE)
classes. Now they have become the strongest “band” of leaders in the area where
the Lambya live, in the Chitipa
district of Malawi. The Lambya have heard about
Christ, but have not chosen to follow Him completely. Pray for these three men
who live among the Lambya, who understand their ways,
asking that they might be strong influences in the entire area where the Lambya are found. Pray that F, W and P will remain faithful
witnesses and stand strong when temptations come their way. Pray that their
families will be great supports for them and will also be strong witnesses for
Jesus Christ. prayerplus@imb.org
CHINA.
Praise God that Christian literature distribution to Mainland Chinese tourists
is ongoing in at least five key locations throughout Asia.
Let us join those who guide this ministry in their ongoing constant prayer that
“nothing (tsunami, coup, SARS, bird flu, earthquakes, famine, sword, or any
other created thing that our enemy tries to throw up in the way) will be
allowed to interrupt the travel of Chinese tourists overseas.”
JAPAN.
Okinawa Prefecture
is a cluster of beautiful semitropical islands located about three hours south
of Tokyo by jet. The culture and
customs of the islands are different that those of the four large islands of
“mainland” Japan. Because of the influence from China
and south Pacific, you see “Shiisa” lion statues
everywhere. They believe they “protect” the entrances to homes and even public
buildings. The shaman led people in worship of the gods. In this midst of this
darkness, Mr. M, a web designer, goes out several times a week to nearby parks
and open areas either with his family or by himself to meet people and share
the Gospel message. Pray for God to lead him to people who are hungry to know
God and to those with whom the Holy Spirit has been dealing. Pray for him to
have wisdom and discernment as he decides where to go and what to do. Pray that
people will receive Christ and follow Him, making Christ the Lord of their
lives. Pray for new Christians to grow, churches to be birthed and Christ to be
honored and glorified. www.jgpnetwork.org
LAMPUNGESE OF SOUTH SUMATRA,
INDONESIA (lahm-poong-eez). Please continue to pray
for those who have responded to a recent literature drop and for those who have
responded to a showing of the movie “The Passion” on local television. Pray
that those whose hearts the Lord has prepared will receive other materials and
will find a new friend and Savior.
MYANMAR.
Continue to cry out to God for the orphans. In one town, there are 700
unaccompanied child refugees who came from believing families. Pray that these
precious children will not be forced to study under teachers of other faith
systems. Pray that the Lord will give local believers wisdom to know what to
do.
NORTHERN THAI/KHON MUANG OF
THAILAND (cone MOO-ung). Kyle and Christine are
friends with A. and O., who are struggling to understand Christianity in light
of their folk Buddhist tradition. Recently A. said that he knows who God is and
what Jesus has done. He then added, “If I change religions and believe
Christianity, who will perform the Buddhist rituals for my parents when they
die?” He explained the cultural and social obligations that he has as the
eldest son in his family. Please pray for A. and O. to have the faith to
believe and the courage to trust God as they respond to the demands of their
culture.
PACIFIC RIM
SUPPORT TEAMS. Updating data, filing reports, setting appointments,
answering phones and handling various logistical tasks are just some of the
things that administrative assistants do to keep our support offices
functioning. Pray God’s blessing upon Pacific Rim’s
administrative assistants as they perform these vital, behind the scene tasks.
AZERIS OF AZERBAIJAN (AH-zer-eez). “Through our business training seminars, we have
many businessmen whom we work with for about a year at a time,” a worker
writes. “It is through these opportunities that we have built relationships to
share the gospel. B is a high-level businessman who is responsible for more
than 300 employees. Early on in the developmental stage of the relationship, I
became intentional about sharing the Good News with him. He received the news
well and told me that he wanted more information and would like to continue to
discuss the Word. He has seen other accounts of the gospel during the last
three years. We were able to provide a New Testament for him and his wife. I
began meeting with him twice a week for many weeks and felt he was close to a
decision, but that has not developed yet. He even asked for the New Testament
in his heart language for his mother-in-law. My family and I would like to call
on everyone who is willing to lift up B and his wife. They both have read the
New Testament through the first book of Corinthians. My desire is that he or
they both will see the light. God will work in His timing. Thank you for
speaking with the Father about my friends. B has the potential to be used by
Him to influence many people. May the Lord bless him all the days of his life.”
BANGALORE
HOSPITAL, KARNATAKA
STATE, INDIA
(BANG-ah-lohr). Pray for all the new students in the
school of nursing, allied health programs, and the chaplaincy training programs
as the new academic year begins. Pray that those students who do not yet know
Jesus as Savior may come to believe during their time of study at Bangalore
Baptist Hospital.
http://www.go2southasia.org
PUNJABIS OF INDIA (pun-JAH-bees).
Please continue to pray for R and his beautiful family to accept Jesus Christ
as their personal Savior. Representatives have ministered to R and his wife for
several months. R said that he knows the Word of God is the truth, but he is
afraid to make the commitment to Jesus because his father will make them leave
their home. R would have no place to take his family. Please pray that fear
will not keep him from making this eternal decision. Pray for R’s father also
to recognize the truth of the Bible. R may have an opportunity to move to
another country in the future. Please pray that if R and his family are able to
go, it will be God’s way of allowing them the freedom and courage to accept
Jesus. pr4punjabis@topicbox.com; http://www.go2southasia.org
SRI
LANKA. Recently you were asked to pray that
new believers would be passionate about God and His Word and boldly share their
faith. God is answering! A former drunk and violent man, S has been involved in
a Bible study since becoming a believer last year, but he has been a little
intimidated because he is illiterate. In May, an international Christian gave S
a cassette of the Gospels and it has ignited a fire within him. Since then, S
has gone out on his own to share his faith with his extended family members and
neighbors. First S went to the house of a man who had previously called police
to report that “white terrorists” (Christians) were in the village. That man
and his wife rejected the Good News. However, later he sought out S and now
wants to hear more. Next, S went to share the Good News with his wife’s family.
His father-in-law decided to follow Jesus. Immediately afterward, S’s
sister-in-law came from a back room in tears, saying, “I need Jesus too!” Pray for
S! Pray that he will continue being faithful--in living life as a new creature,
in attending Bible study meetings and trainings, in listening to the Bible and
sharing what he knows with others. Praise God that the result of S’s
faithfulness is eternally changed lives! http://www.go2southasia.org
LAST FRONTIER.
How long has it been since you have seen your mother? Days?
Weeks? Years? A worker was
visiting with a local worker and inquired about his family. His heart was
touched when he heard this story: Because of hardships and uncertain times,
this man was separated from his mother at the age of 4. The mother lives in a
restricted-access country and the son in a neighboring country. In the last 10
years, mother and son have had some contact and even two face-to-face visits.
The country where he lives has plenty of food, but his mother’s home is facing
extreme conditions that make it difficult to secure her daily needs. He
received word from his mother to come and see her. Her son sadly tells that he
is not able to make the trip. He knows her situation is difficult, and he
desires to do what he can to meet her needs. He has asked a fellow worker to go
in his place. They are gathering items to take to the family. While the travel
has always been difficult, the road may be closed for an indefinite time due to
regulations from officials. Please join this partner in asking that our Provider
will make the way clear and open for the visit. Ask for special blessings on
the traveler as well as the mother. Pray that the traveler will have the
opportunity to share God’s Story and love with the mother during their short
visit.
AIDS. N
grew up in the Thunzini community in Swaziland
and attended the Thunzini
Baptist Church.
Her mother was not married to her father but later married an older man and
moved to South Africa.
Like most Africans, N’s mother and stepfather rented extra rooms in their house.
One of the renters was a young man they trusted. During the 2007 school break
(December/January) the young man tricked N into taking something to his room.
While in the room, he attacked N, raped her and told her not to tell anyone or
he would kill her. Five months later, N is 13 years old and pregnant. A study
of the U.N. Children’s Fun confirms that one out of three Swazi women has
suffered some form of sexual abuse as a child. Now N is one of those statistics
that may include AIDS. One wonders when the nightmare of continual abuse and
AIDS will end. Unfortunately, for some it is just beginning. Pray for N’s
health as she deals with a pregnancy, and pray that she will not have contacted
the HIV virus through this encounter. Pray for the many female children/youth/adults
in Swaziland
who deal with the fear of abuse on a regular basis. http://www.imb.org/AIDS
MISSIONARY PERSONAL NEEDS. A
missionary writes: “One family on our team has been in the process of adopting
a baby for more than a year now. They have been waiting for one committee to
meet that has to approve their adoption, but the committee members are dragging
their feet. They were first supposed to meet in May, then in June, and now they
say it will be at the end of July. Please pray that they will actually meet at
the end of July. This family has been here this term for over four years, and
they are ready to head back to the United States
to get recharged and reenergized. Please pray that this committee will meet
quickly. Also pray that the family will trust the Lord and His plan and not be
anxious!”
MUSLIMS: PRAYING BEYOND THE WALL.
Pray Philemon verse 6 for a family in Central Asia who
is moving into a Muslim village. Ask for physical and spiritual protection,
many opportunities to form friendships with the people in the village, and
increased language ability. Pray that they will be active in sharing their faith
so that they will have a growing understanding of every good thing they have
received in Christ. Pray for the people in the village to hear and understand
the gospel. Pray for them to become followers of Jesus, the Messiah. http://btw.imb.org

What's the Matter
with Canada?:
Crushing Free Speech
How is this for irony? Recent
actions by Canadian human rights groups have observers alarmed for the state of
human rights in Canada.
That is because the Canadian Human Rights Commission and the British Columbia
Human Rights Tribunal do not give a fig about protecting human rights. Their
mission is suppressing free speech.
Maclean’s
magazine was hauled before these two “quasi-judicial” bodies when it published
excerpts from Mark Steyn’s popular book America
Alone. Mohamed Elmasry of the Canadian Islamic
Congress charged that the content of these excerpts about the expansion of
radical Islam “subjects Canadian Muslims to hatred and contempt.”
The Canadian Human Rights
Commission dismissed the complaint, but the British Columbia Human Rights
Tribunal got in on the act. It investigated the charges in what bloggers on the scene called a “kangaroo court,” and has
yet to issue a ruling. But there is a greater cause for concern here: As the Calgary
Herald pointed out, Maclean’s has the
money to fight the charges—but not everyone does. The Herald gloomily
predicted, “Let a citizen of modest means utter a politically incorrect
thought: He will be crushed.”
That is what happened to the
Reverend Stephen Boissoin. In a letter to the editor
in the Red Deer Advocate, he protested the homosexual agenda, and was
hauled off before the Canadian Human Rights Commission. The complaint—sound
familiar?—was that Boissoin’s words were “likely to
expose homosexuals to hatred or contempt because of their sexual orientation.”
The panel ordered “that Mr. Boissoin . . . shall cease publishing in newspapers, by
e-mail, on the radio, in public speeches, or in the internet, in the future,
any disparaging remarks about gays and homosexuals.” He was also ordered to
apologize in writing for the article, and was fined.
As the Catholic Exchange
reports, “In essence, the Alberta Human Rights Tribunal is ordering . . . the
minister to renounce his Christian faith, since his opposition to homosexuality
is based upon the Judeo-Christian Bible.” The article went on to observe that a
prominent Canadian priest, Father Alphonse de Valk,
is now being investigated “for having publicly defended the Church’s
traditional definition of marriage. Some of his allegedly hateful statements
are quotations from the Bible and the Catechism of the Catholic Church.”
This is what Pope Benedict calls
the “dictatorship of relativism.” In the name of tolerance—or of someone’s
twisted idea of that concept—we have to protect everyone’s sensitivities.
Nobody can say anything that might make someone feel like a victim of hatred
and contempt. And thus we back into a soft despotism, which suppresses free
speech and eradicates religious freedom.
Where is this going to end? Will it
become a crime even to be a Christian in Canada?
Will opposition to radical Islam be routinely punished?
Here in America,
we already know you can get in hot water for opposing gay marriage—like the
Christian photographers who refused to take pictures at a lesbian civil
ceremony, and ended up being fined by the New Mexico Human Rights Commission.
Make no mistake. If Canadians do
not stand up for their religious and free speech rights, they will soon be
gone. And so will ours. For what happens in the beautiful country to the north
of us often affects our so-called “enlightened elites” in the United
States.
