Points for the Acehnese
Pray
for the Acehnese to find hope in Jesus as they piece their lives
back together after the major devastation.
Pray
that many Acehnese will begin to question their traditional faith
because of the tsunamis and that they will become seekers of truth.
Ask God to reveal Himself as Jesus to them in dreams and visions.
Pray
that God will send laborers who can effectively cross the Muslim
cultural barriers.
Feb.
3 is the day of prayer and fasting for the Acehnese of Indonesia.

DID
YOU KNOW?
 For
many Indians, the only way they know to respond to failure and
despair is suicide. Students commit suicide when their grades
come in lower than their parents' expectations. Young women commit
suicide when a marriage does not work out. And farmers commit
suicide when their crops do not produce. Indians affected by the
Dec. 26 tsunamis already have commented to reporters that they
have nothing for which to live. Pray that God would strengthen
these hurting people and keep them from suicide. Pray that His
ambassadors would introduce them to J esus, the author of life
and hope.

Persecuted
Church: Yemen
At
least one, possibly three, Yemeni believers are in prison because
of their faith in Jesus Christ. So far is that they refuse to
recant, despite threats and possible torture. Pray for their
strength, that the LORD Himself will minister to them, and that
the Holy Spirit will bring the Scriptures to their minds.
Other believers have been threatened, intimidated, searched, and
called in for questioning. Pray that they will not have a spirit
of fear, but of power, love and of a sound mind. Pray that they
will not be silenced, but will continue to be unashamed of the
Gospel of Jesus Christ. Pray that their faith will not waiver,
but that they will trust in His ability to guard what they have
entrusted to Him.

Special
Request from the Tsunamis Front:
The
acres of rubble and ruin were almost too much to take in. A young
man introduced himself and offered to show us where his house
had stood. 'My father and mother are dead,' he said. 'My brother
and his two little babies died, too.' He pointed to what was left
of the fishing boat that he and his two brothers had used to support
their family. When we reached the home of this young man's sister,
it became clear that this was actually a clan of families. There
remained several family members who were anxious to partner with
us for the rebuilding of their village. The pain and loss were
perfectly clear. 'May we pray for you?' we asked. Afterwards,
with teary eyes, they gave us a photo of their home and wrote
their address on the back. 'Please don't forget us,' they said."
Faithful intercessors, please don't forget to pray for the survivors
of the December 26 tsunamis.
Bible
Study: Global Proclamation
Demands Persevering Prayer
By
Evan Burns
Persevering
prayer is key to overcoming the hard-hearted resistance of the
lost. Immediately following the Lord's Prayer in Luke 11:5-9,
Jesus taught a critical lesson about the role of perseverance
in prayer.
To teach us persevering prayer, Jesus uses a strange parable about
a man who persistently asks for bread from a friend. Read
more about the lesson Jesus taught.

The
Indian Ocean tsunamis of December 26, 2004, has exposed the
world to heart-wrenching pictures and stories of people
who are destitute, wounded and fearful searching for loved
ones and belongings. One of the hardest hit areas is the
northern tip of the Indonesian island of Sumatra , home
to the Acehnese [ Ah -chen-eez] people.
Not only has Aceh [ Ah -cheh] been in the
news for losing more than 150,000 people in the tsunamis,
but also because of a ceasefire between the Indonesian military
and the Aceh rebels, offered by the rebels so that relief
and aid workers could enter the area and begin work. 
trying
to "Christianize" local residents.
