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 we have eternal life IN Christ! (Romans 6:23)

Pray for a Tunisian Believer

J lives in a coastal town. He is 50 years old and is married with three kids. A few years ago, when he first accepted Christ, he began sharing in coffee shops. Muslim fundamentalists came to his house one day and beat him up—he had to move. He rented a building so that he could work selling meat, but the owners kicked him out because he was sharing his faith. He has now set up a new shop. In the meantime, J is not discouraged. He shares boldly and has a small church of new believers who meet in his home. Pray that God will protect J and his family and that their church will multiply and grow.

Prayer for Boldness

“Come and hear, all you who fear God, and I will tell what he has done for my soul.” (Psalm 66:16 ESV).

Lord God, you have faithfully written the testimony of your passionate love for the people of Tunisia across history and lives. May you raise up a generation of followers in Tunisia who cry with the Psalmist, “come and hear and I will tell you what God has done for my soul!” (Psalm 66:16) May they exhort one another to testify and may your Spirit carry faithfully that testimony to ears you’ve prepared to hear and receive it.

Pray for a Segment of Society

Hotel Workers – Najat moved one weary leg after another up the dirty staircase after a long day of work at one of the hundreds of touristic beach hotels that line the country’s white sand coastline. She mused over another day’s bizarre observations of the largely European clientele with their skimpy clothing, unquenchable thirst for alcohol, and foreign languages and ways. Najat reminded herself that she’s one of the luckier ones to get a job cleaning at a hotel with a decent reputation. She shuddered to think of what some of her friends went through at some of the other hotels, and was saddened to think of how many Tunisians were involved in it all. But it put food on the table, and her blended family had been in a tight financial position for years. As she prepared supper for her family in her tiny kitchen, she looked at her bed with a blend of longing and fear. She could hardly stay awake but knew a night of demonic nightmares awaited her… she wiped away a tear as she stirred the pot. Her teenaged son kept telling her about the prophet Jesus, but she usually shut him up pretty quickly. These foreigners and their ways seemed evil. Pray for Najat and the millions working in the tourism industry to see Jesus as for Tunisians, not as another shady import from the Western world.
