Our Treasure in Jesus

God, we love you! As your Church, help us do what it takes to let the people of Tunisia grasp the Good News that Jesus invited us to make you the center of our love and affection! (Matthew 22:37-40)

Pray for a Tunisian Believer

B is an elderly man who lives in a small town. He has been a Christian for many years but no one, not even his wife, knows that he is a follower of Jesus. Pray for B to abide deeply in Jesus and for the Spirit to lead him in how to share about the hope he found in Christ with others.

Prayer for Boldness

“Though he slay me, I will hope in him; yet I will argue my ways to his face.” (Job 13:15 ESV).

Father God, grant your followers in Tunisia a profound trust in your goodness and your sovereign power, that they might proclaim with Job “though he slay me, I will hope in him.” (Job 13:15) Teach the church in Tunisia to stand in awe and humble reverence toward your perfect plans and purposes, even as the waves of tragedy and challenge wash over them.

Pray for a Segment of Society

Abused women The light of dawn reminded her of the violence that had occurred just hours before… the cursing, the ripped-out hair, the shattered glass, and the broken hearts of kids locked in a room while their mom desperately fumbled with her phone to call the Christian neighbours. The husband and father of three beautiful grade school aged children was back again in another rage, but Fetin and her Christian friend were able to stave off his entrance. He finally left and, with trembling hands, Fetin quickly packed their things to flee from the more modern seaside community where they came years ago to work in the beach tourism industry. After an eight hour journey to her home village in the mountains, she and the kids would be physically safe, but the mockery from her traditional family would never end and the shame and risk of an unsettling family feud would drive the secret of her husband’s abuse even further underground. “If he puts bread on your table, what more can you expect?” her mother asked her, recalling her own abuse as a bride given away at age 13. Pray for women like Fetin who can never be truly safe outside of the arms of Jesus, who longs to draw them close and speak their true worth over them.

Inspirational Quotes

“I believe that in each generation God has called enough men and women to evangelize all the yet unreached tribes of the earth. It is not God who does not call. It is man who will not respond!” – Isobel Kuhn, 1901-1957, missionary to China and Thailand
