@Jo_PrayerN_actionCenter how terrible and frightening for both "Andrew" and his family!!
I pray the Lord is with him as He was with Joseph when his brother threw him in the pit. May Andrew draw nearer to Christ and know God's hand is a strong shield.

We went shopping today and didn't notice any panic in our city today. 😅 We live our lives as usual - what else could we do? But of course it's not fun to neighbor Russia, and the last two months Finns have been worried, and Russia, Ukraine, NATO, and our defense is the main topics on news every day. Some days I wake up with anxiety. Finland (and Sweden will probably follow suit) will apply for NATO membership, and Russia has made clear that it won't be without consequences. Our president Sauli Niinistö made a phone call to Mr Putin today. He is probably the head of a state who has talked to Putin the most. Putin didn't express any direct threat today, but said it will affect our relationship. (Finland has been a neutral buffer state between Russia and West ever since after WW2. When we join NATO those neutral days are gone, and we become an enemy). Please pray for Finland, and our president, who has a key position because of his relation with Putin! Niinistö and his wife are Christian.

That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Matthew 6 v 25

*Andrew (name changed for security) is an Afghan teenage believer from the Pashtun tribe with a death threat on his life to join the Taliban. During the US evacuation last summer he was separated from his family and fled Afghanistan which landed him up in Istanbul Turkey illegally where he was rescued by our own A n B couple.took Andrew into their home and have been working on getting him the documentation he needs to reunite with his family and go to the US for school. Last week while A n B were out in eastern Turkey, the police located Andrew in Istanbul, took him into custody and moved him to another eastern city in what appears to be a deportation effort. Andrew is currently in a city near the Iran border
Would you urgently join us in praying (and mobilizing prayer) that the Lord would intervene and rescue Andrew from being deported or abducted and returned back to A n B's home. Let’s pray that the plans the Lord has for Andrew’s life would be fulfilled!
@sinbach This morning I remembered Uncle Ren (Brother Yun's friend, mentor, partner, translator) sharing in our Volunteers gathering about "Orchid Island" . How they found sand for church construction in a cave.
Please collect Uncle's stories and publish.

I was going to my room this evening while all the lights were out. I had a bit of a thought. To often in our lives, we are walking in darkness and we see the smallest amount of light like from a night light. We become too focused on the small bit of light and stumble and forget to find the true light. We focus on terminology, etymology, theology, and interpretation rather than just opening ourselves to the possibility that we could be wrong, and just taking God's word as it is, believing it, and most importantly, OBEYING it. When this is all done, we want to force others to believe our story and follow the small light rather than realizing that we are not following the real light.
