Thank you for bowing your knees to the Father
Dear Friends & Family,
Joel and I would like to thank you for your prayers this summer on behalf of Breaking Borders. We had several teams in North Africa and the Middle East that were dependant on those back home bowing their knees to the Father on their behalf. God did so many extraordinary things this summer! From the Mountains of a forgotten people in North Africa to the persecuted of the Middle East onto the Refugee camps in the middle of the desert—God was glorified!
Just two days ago Joel and I returned from a 9 day journey into the desert lands of North Africa inside some of the most devastating refugee camps we have ever entered. God gave us incredible opportunity and favor with the government and leaders to go about the camps and discover how Breaking Borders can be apart medically & spiritually. We would like to thank those that prayed for us while we were in the camps.
It was intense with heat of around 120-125 degrees a day with most days without electricity, running water, or AC. But we discovered God is at work in the desert. This people is 100% Islamic but we sensed a very unique and divine opportunity inside the camps. We would like to ask for additional prayer as we seek the Lord how we can be most effective in mobilizing the right medical professionals and godly believers to respond to the physical and spiritual needs of these peoples.
While in the camps as we evaluated the medical situation God impressed our hearts to prayer walk throughout the camps as we moved. As we prayed we began seeing the Lord give us divine moments with our translator to share stories from the Old Testament and even into the New Testament about Christ. Please pray for “Babba”. He is a devout Muslim, but has lots of questions about Christianity. We had to be so careful with our words as we talked with him, but it amazed us that the more sensitive we tried to be the more direct Babba’s questions came to us about our faith. God is so good to direct conversation and open doors to express his love in word & deed.
We would also like to request for you to continue praying for those our teams left behind in North Africa and the Middle East. Many relationships were built this summer that will continue via e-mail with our team members and their muslim friends. Pray God would continue to give our team members opportunity to share the Truth of Jesus Christ as they continue corresponding. Also pray for those that came to know Christ this summer. That God would grow them and mature them in their new faith in Christ. Lastly we ask for you to not forget our suffering brothers and sisters in these lands. Many carry chains from family & culture and the oppression of the government that make it difficult to be a Christian. Pray God would grant them grace to stand bold with their faith and to not give up in times of suffering.
Again, we covet your prayers and thank you for joining us the last couple of months in spiritual battles that can only be won when an army of believers join together on their knees.
All for His Glory,
