Supported Worker: Indigenous Church-Planting Training in Arab and Muslim Countries
Details: Their director recently traveled to Ethiopia to meet with pastors there to discuss the possibility of opening a new branch of the missionary training school as well as to get their help in finding good candidates. While hoping to gather a decent size group of pastors, he was blown away when 92 pastors attended their gathering! The pastors gathered for the sharing of the Word and prayer. Pray for wisdom and guidance as they move forward with setting up a school in Ethiopia. Pakistan (Asia). Population: 226,186,778 Religion: 2.45% Christian. Believers from a Muslim background are in a unique and challenging situation. Islam has grave or deadly punishments for apostates. Yet increasing numbers of Muslims are coming to faith in Jesus, often through media as well as dreams and visions and the witness of Pakistani Christians. Some are ex-militants. Churches, comprised mostly of Hindu-background and lower caste believers, do not know how to integrate and disciple these people, and so the large majority of them revert to Islam, turn to atheism, or retreat to private faith. Some networks of Muslim-background believers are emerging for mutual spiritual support and discipleship. Pray for such networks to spread for these believers so that they do not easily fall away. Ask the Lord to raise up leaders. From Operation World DVD-ROM 2010, www.operationworld.org
