I deployed with the army as a DOD civilian in 1996 as a part of a peacekeeping mission. I was a real estate negotiator for properties needed belonging to civilians. One of my translators was a young Bosnian, Nermin. We became close friends while we served together, although at one point he reported me for my Christian witness. He spoke Russian, German, English and his native tongue. I recently found him through Facebook in Berlin as an international attorney. He shared how depressed he was. His wife and child were killed in an accident on the road to Sarajevo a few years back and he has not healed. He spoke of wanting to work in the US. I have invited him to come to my home and we are working on a visa. A few weeks ago after a trip to Ukraine he contracted COVID even though vaccinated twice and was hospitalized for 10 days. Sunday past he returned to the hospital again having breathing issues. Please join me in praying for his healing.

Listen how this young man reconsiders.
He later wrote to me, saying that he can NOT accept Islam based on this podcast

@Jo_PrayerN_actionCenter I have been thinking of North Korea.
@Toddkapper @sinbach It could be that sometimes, but I think other times it may simply be a learned habit. We imitate others who pray in that way. We practice what we hear and even take it into out own prayer closet? I'm glad @sinbach shared this for some laughs. I agree with Mary and Todd that it is awkward. But, on the flip side, I know people who pray this way and are very dedicated servants of the Lord. I'm sure they're praying in private and their lives are bearing fruit. And, their prayers are heard and being answered. I'm glad God hears and answers all kinds of prayers.
Lets pray for #Karen refugees

Of course the great commission is our primary objective. However as you already know there is a spiritual battle going on and we are called to be participants. It’s amazing to me as to how many Christians are willing to go to battle over spiritual warfare quotes that are posted on social media. I wonder if they do the same in prayer and warfare for their lost loved ones or against the evil in this world? I’m guessing not likely and that saddens me.
