GOSPEL GLEANING PRAYER POINTERS

• Learning how to walk in the Lord is a challenge for new Christians. They are accustomed to living a certain way, with habits and assumed ways of life that are opposite the way of life God’s has prescribed. (see, for example, Eph. 4:17-19) As we pray for the Erukula people in India and the 12 Church Planters working among them, we need to be aware of the dangers they face from the many false ways of living by which they are surrounded – and in which they once lived. Hence, this week let’s use Psalm 119:104 as our prayer launching pad. May it be a pillar of their lives. From Your precepts I get understanding, therefore I hate every false way.

• Christians in Chad and Niger are on the frontier of faith. They are surrounded by other religions, both Islam and many forms of animist and native faiths. The Gospel of Jesus is new and foreign to them. Hence, Christians in Chad and Niger are in some ways like the earliest Christians who spread the faith throughout the Jewish and Gentile worlds in the first century. The proclamations of those first Christians were often accompanied by signs and wonders to confirm the veracity of their message. This week, let’s pray that the Holy Spirit would validate the Gospel message of the Chad and Niger Christians with signs and wonders as they seek to take the message of light to those sitting in great darkness.
