cell/house church networks

In a country where mosque buildings have significant spiritual meaning, Lord, we pray for new Christians in Tunisia to have a healthy understanding that a church building has little value in itself. We ask that a corporate spiritual identity and faith-filled fellowship would bind the hearts of Your people together.

God’s Word

“Every word of God proves true; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him” (Proverbs 30:5). Lord, give Tunisians eyes to see the incredible Old Testament prophecies that are fulfilled in Jesus. May they take refuge in him.

nature points to Him

Worship the Lord as you consider these words of praise and the diverse landscape of Tunisia (open skies over the desert, mountains in the east, the vast Mediterranean): “Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens, Your faithfulness to the clouds. Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; Your judgments are like the great deep; man and beast You save, O Lord” (Psalm 36:5-6).

elections and leaders

Father, we want to pray together today for those in positions of political and religious authority outside of Tunisia (i.e. Saudi Arabia, U.S.A., Libya) and the influence that their decisions and actions will have on Tunisia’s future. We ultimately long for You to be worshiped for who You truly are and for Your Kingdom to come on earth as it is in heaven.

seeking God

“Amy” is a Tunisian of dual ethnicity who is “seeking God.” She has recently become friends with some expatriate Christians and often brings up spiritual conversations with them. Pray for Amy, that she would seek and find the one true God in Jesus Christ, and “never thirst again.” (John 4:14) Pray for her Christian friends to know how to love and encourage her in this time.

family-based conversion patterns

Father, we look beyond spiritual strongholds and human reason to ask You to draw 25 influential religious leaders in Tunisia to Yourself. Let Your Scriptures and Your Spirit pierce their hearts in the next 5 months. May their whole households be baptized in Jesus’ name.

the glory due His name

“Ascribe to the Lord, O heavenly brings, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength. Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name; worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness” (Psalm 29:1-2). Take a moment to join the angels in heaven to treasure and worship the Lord as the perfect Creator and King of the universe.

speak to our brothers and sisters

Before God’s throne and in the Spirit, speak these words to your Tunisian brothers and sisters in Christ: “May He grant you your heart’s desire and fulfill all your plans! May we shout for joy over your salvation, and in the name of our God set up our banners! May the Lord fulfill all your petitions!” (Psalm 20:4-5). Amen.

on his way

In the weeks preceding Christmas, many Christians celebrate Advent, a time of remembering and anticipating Jesus’ coming. As this month begins, pray that Jesus would come to Tunisia in ways that he has never come before.
