| SC 12 Prayer Update from the Horn Posted: 19 Mar 2014 11:30 PM PDT As we near Secret Church 14 and fix our attention on the Turks and Kurds, our SC 14 prayer focus, let’s not forget past Secret Church prayer focuses. We recently updated you on the amazing things God is doing among the Hui and were reminded of why we choose a prayer focus in the first place. Now, reaching back a couple years to Secret Church 12, we check in on the prayer focus then, the Horn of Africa. Like the Hui, the Lord has used our prayers and the efforts of those ministering in the area to do some amazing things in the Horn. Of particular note are two men from different people groups in the area who met as we were gathering information on the Horn to share at SC 12. They hit it off and have become evangelism partners, traveling far and wide, from village to village, sharing the gospel. The gospel is continuing to spread, through these men, and through other groups in other areas. There are stories of God using dreams, people being healed, divine appointments, and new believers being baptized. However, the cost of following Christ in the Horn remains high. New believers, in particular, are fearful of militant Muslims who have infiltrated the area. Several have been jailed (repeatedly), others’ homes have been burned, and others have been beaten. One Christian family had their children abducted. Tragically, their daughter was murdered and their son was sent to an Islamic school across the country. The couple remains faithful to Christ despite suffering great loss. Pray for such faithfulness to continue in the believers of the Horn. Ask God to uphold them, protect them, guide them, and embolden them. And pray that the Lord would cause many more to be saved as a result of their strong witness throughout the area. |

The following blog post can be read in its entirety at the prayer focus website, HopeForTurkey.com. When our city was hit with heavy rain, the house of a local believer named Selin was flooded. Worse than the flooding, the apartment building's sewage lines backed up, pouring out of her toilet and covering the entire house in a foot of waste. Selin frantically called us at 6:30 in the morning. She was crying. "Please come, please come!" she pleaded. "I need help!"… READ MORE |
