one year ago

Today marks the one-year anniversary of the historic new beginning when protestors led former-president Ben Ali to flee the country. This event was catalytic in the “Arab Spring,” which has impacted all of North Africa and the Middle East. As the future is still very uncertain, let us pray that the false hopes of January 14, 2011 would be replaced by the living hope that only Jesus can give to Tunisians.

elders, heads, leaders

“Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the leaders of the fathers’ houses of the people of Israel, before King Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion” (1 Kings 8:1). Lord God, open the hearts of Tunisia’s political and family leaders to be key figures in bringing Your Presence and Gospel influence to this needy land.

Psalm 65 Praise (Part 3)

“You visit the earth and water it; You greatly enrich it; the river of God is full of water; You provide their grain, for so You have prepared it. You water its furrows abundantly, settling its ridges, softening it with showers, and blessing its growth.... The pastures of the wilderness overflow, the hills gird themselves with joy, the meadows clothe themselves with flocks, the valleys deck themselves with grain, they shout and sing together for joy” (Psalm 65:9-13).

Spirit’s lead

If you consider the Spirit’s activity through the Apostles in the book of Acts, you will recall very few instances of isolated discipleship. Paul’s journeys always ended in fellowships of believers, churches. God, we pray together today that all believers in Tunisia will embrace the significance of intentionally planting fellowships of believers that seek to reproduce themselves from the start.

a theology of suffering

“Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus” (2 Timothy 2:3). Lord, raise up an army of Tunisian believers who have a right view of suffering in faithfully proclaiming the greatest news in the world.
