Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms. For the Lord is the great God, And the great King above all gods.” (Psalm 95:1-3, NKJV) Hi, this is Eleanor Witcher of IMB’s prayer office, joining you in giving thanks. During this month, many activities in Beijing, China will focus on the holiday of Thanksgiving to draw people to hear the message of the gospel. Churches will host Thanksgiving-style dinners--not with turkey and football, but with local dishes and performances that give a strong message of God’s love for all people. Groups of believers will invite their nonbelieving friends to come and eat together and then begin discussions about their gratitude for what God has done in their lives. With the holiday season upon us, international believers living Tajikistan have many chances to share about Jesus and the gospel. Often people have heard bits and pieces of information about American holidays, but don’t understand the spiritual implications of these celebrations. Team Marseille is showing their friends in France what they are thankful for: Jesus Christ. Celebrating this unique American holiday with French people, they have rented a room and are sharing with their friends both food and thankfulness in Jesus. They expect around 80 people. Two new teammates arrived in the Netherlands this month and are helping with Thanksgiving outreach events with Turks. They will need to adjust quickly and make quick friendships as they help with preparing the food and decorations. * Please pray for clear presentations of the gospel among the different languages that are represented in the Netherlands and among those attending the Thanksgiving feast in France. * Pray for the various activities in Beijing and Tajikistan to touch many people with the Good News of what God has done. * Paramount in our thankfulness, we are thankful to God for our salvation and the honor to serve Him. We are also thankful for you, our faithful prayer supporters. For our partnership in this great task of reaching the nations, we give humble thanks. ***Our offices will be closed or Thanksgiving. The next PrayerLine text will be distributed December 1. Thank you for your understanding and faithful, fervent prayers.*** |
