North Africans/Middle Easterners, Northern France

Stephen has had the opportunity to meet a new friend from North Africa. When they meet, they talk a lot, and their conversations usually turn to spiritual topics. The North African friend is a Muslim and has asked all kinds of questions, such as: “Why aren’t you a Muslim? Have you read the Quran? How can you believe that Jesus died on the cross?” God has blessed Stephen with favor in this man’s eyes, and they’ve had some deep and intense spiritual conversations. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to this man that the Bible is true and Jesus is the Savior. Pray John 20:31 (ESV) for this man: “but these [acts of Jesus] are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.” Thank God for the favor that Stephen has with this man and the openness and boldness in their conversations! Pray that with truthful questions being asked, any speech and message being spoken will demonstrate the power of the Spirit “so that [his] faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God” (1 Corinthians 2:4-5 ESV).
