Memorable Moments of Prayer Update # 6

I think the most memorable moment this week was last Friday at noon. All
the surrounding minarets were sounding the call to prayer. And we heard our own call to prayer and went to the roof. Our voices rose as the noise grew, and continued long after it became silent. We cried out on behalf of our nation, of those needing healing, of those needing courage and protection, and just to give praise.

Everything we had been doing and every conversation with the people here didn't feel complete until we lifted it up that afternoon. We are broken for these people and confident of the healing, completion, and joy we have through Him.

We have been learning and discussing about the status of the women in
this country under the current way of life. We were asked, "What insecurities do you think the current system might give them? "And the unanamous response was, "What securities does it leave them?" On the other hand, because of the same system, the women appear friendly,
cheerful, open, and giving.

We have gone several times to the local mall to meet people, and all of us have at least one woman that we have befriended and repeatedly visit. These women retailers are all so precious and all so different. Some speak very little English but are so excited by our visit and insist on
sharing food together. We've been invited to several upcoming weddings. One lady was very educated and very aggressive with talking to us. She has gotten to hear some truth and we pray that it grows in her heart.

The clinics are going well. It's such an encouragement to have so many hands to help. This week we have a gynacologist visiting us, so we get to assist him and lift up the ladies as he treats them. The clinics are an incredible opportunity to let our light be seen and effect other people. Please lift this work up!

I can't tell you how many hours the six of us ladies have spent talking together, laughing together, and praying together. Ask that Dad would use our unity as an example and encouragement to the women here, and that He would use even more as his hands and feet in each other's lives.
