Acts 4:31
31)And when they had prayed, the place where they were meeting together was shaken [a sign of God’s presence]; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak the word of God with boldness and courage.

Dear DingDash family, please keep us in your prayers today. I am here in the US writing Meriam Ibrahim's story. Not an easy story. Yesterday was filled with emotion and tears as Meriam talked about being born in a refugee camp, her father brutally murdering her aunt for an honor killing, her mother being tied up for two days and raped, and her running away and hiding to escape circumcision - only to be forcefully dragged back to the village and the Muslim elders publicly witnessing her genital mutilation - and this was all before she was even 7 years old!
We can use all the prayers we can get for this project.

@farmerjohn because the church is not comfort or buildings. Those things can be idols. If Christians are not willing to meet in a park or in a home then the people who they meet with in a church building are not their brethren. Ether they or those they meet with are not Born Again. Born Again Christians want desperately to be with their family as much as possible whether it is illegal or not.

Cultivating Holy habits!

Christians mustn't forget Nigeria

@bethany “Father, Nigeria is one of the nations You have assigned me to intercede for. While it appears evil is winning against children, I know You reign supreme. You are Lord over Nigeria and Boka Haram. You love the people of Nigeria, even those who participate in evil. I ask You to change hearts and call those who are evil to repentance that leads to salvation. May they realize that You love them with an everlasting love. May they realize their deeds only leave an empty void within them. I ask, Almighty God, to intervene with the greatest extent of Your mercy, grace, and protection for these children who are so vulnerable. May You provide a way of escape for these precious children. Activate the angelic hosts to show themselves mighty and fearful to those who would try to kidnap or even kill the children. For those children who have been kidnapped, open the door for rescue or escape. Protect them from murderous intentions. Preserve their lives for the glory of Your kingdom. Amen”
