He is the local leader of Islam who teaches children religious lessons, sells worried fathers amulets with promises of healing, and convinces mothers to keep their little ones away from the Christians. Workers in Bangladesh had heard of his work, but in March, they had opportunity to meet Dabir*. His home is small and temporary, just like those of his neighbors who live beside him in the same slum. His wife is lovely, and he is obviously proud of his daughter and son.  In Sri Lanka a journeyman “prayed for God to bring someone to share the Gospel with. Within minutes, a man speaking English stopped to ask the usual barrage of questions, ‘Are you lost? Where are you going? Why are you here?’ I find he isn’t trying to sell me something or ask for money. He actually learned English working at a tourist hotel, and as we began talking, he shares that although he was born a Buddhist, he was baptized 25 years ago, and attends church about once a month. At first I was excited to find another believer, but as I asked him more about Jesus, he said that He is wonderful and now in heaven. When asked about whether he would go to heaven or not he said, ‘Maybe if my karma is good, I might have a chance in my next life. Jesus must have had great karma in His past life to have such great spiritual insight.’”  * Please pray for Sunil* and other Buddhists who are intrigued by Jesus to understand the full Gospel that leads to salvation. * Join in praying for Dabir that his heart will soften toward Jesus Christ and that salvation will come to him and his household.  * Lift up those within your own congregation who have heard the Gospel but do not yet understand its power. *pseudonym
