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.

*UPDATE * On my daughter, Lisa, and baby.
Miracles all around!! Lisa had a terrible Accreta case, she lost 5 liters of blood during surgery! She has amazed the doctor and nurses by healing so quickly. The nurse said most ppl with cases like Lisa are in bed for 2 weeks. Lisa was out of the hospital in 5 days. Two weeks later and she is doing amazing!!
Baby, Kynlee, has also been hitting each goal set for her. Today her feeding tube was taken out. She recovers quickly when her oxygen levels dip AND... She may be discharged in a day or two!!
I came home yesterday. It was a stressful time but also a time of many blessings caring for my other two granddaughters.
Thank you all for praying! My love to all of you!

I still haven't been able to see the baby😢 ...but soon🙏

In Nigeria, Christian persecution rose by 60% last year and nearly half of Christians killed for their faith worldwide were killed in Nigeria.
Our brothers and sisters need our prayers.

Prayers appreciated. My family and I are going through a time of testing. May we be faithful and experience anew the faithfulness of God. Physical healing for my daughter, healing of difficult relationships in extended family, and that we grow more in the likeness of Christ as we look to Him, are some of the petitions I'm lifting to the throne of grace.

It may feel as though life has slowed down during all the lockdowns and restrictions the past year, but BTJ missionaries are still faithfully taking the Gospel into the most unreached nations in the world.
Our prayers are a vital part of their work. Would you take time to pray for them today?

Why watchman née was arrested part a:

“On this day in 1952, Watchmen Nee was arrested and charged as a lawless capitalist. The communist media informed the world of the “crimes of Watchmen Nee,” citing many hundreds of alleged crimes and vices.

Among his crimes: He envisioned evangelizing all of China in the 1930s. He relentlessly encouraged Shanghai Christians to share their faith. His words were hard to ignore: ‘Because you are not witnessing, many have not heard the Gospel. They will be eternally separated from God. What a consequence of our apathy! This is my challenge to you. Witness to at least one person a day. Witness to whomever you meet. It is time for us to put feet to our faith.’ “
