June 1
Bible Readings:
Genesis 28:10–22; 33:1–11; 35:1–3; 49:1–10
Reflection Questions:
- As you reflect on the transformation of Jacob from one who stole the blessing to one who blessed his sons and the nations, what strikes you?
- What has been your journey of transformation? What chapters do you still long for God to write?
- Are there any broken relationships that you need God to transform? What is your role?
- How do you still need to be transformed so that you can pass on a blessing to your family and the world?
Prayer Prompts:
- That we would all have transformational encounters with God like Jacob.
- That God would transform our perspective so that we can see his face where we would least expect it.
- That God would go before us into our broken relationships to make reconciliation possible.
- That God would take the Tuareg on a journey of transformation into the likeness of Christ.
Listening Prayer:
- Jesus, what is the next step you have for me in my transformation journey?
Tuareg:
Founded under Queen Tin Hinan, the Tuaregs are traditionally monogamous, semi-nomadic herders and warriors. Tuaregs are called the “blue people” of the desert due to their indigo-coloured clothing, which stains their skin. They are also known as the “veiled ones,” since men wear turbans. Tuaregs have their traditional script called Tifinagh, and different regions have their traditional crosses, used as a charm for protection against evil.
In Niger, their population is 2.6 million, though there are possibly only a dozen Tuaregs in Canada. Islam is the main religion, and there are only a handful of scattered local fellowships among the Tuaregs. New believers face being ostracized from all family members, including forced divorce if married. Audio and oral Bible teachings play a vital role among the largely illiterate Tuaregs.
Pray with us:
Father, we praise you for the vibrant culture you have given Tuaregs. As seeds are sown through audio and oral Bible teachings, we bless them with open hearts to receive your Gospel. Thank you for calling the Tuaregs to be free. We bless them with Holy Spirit’s presence. Bless them with complete freedom in Christ. We bless Tuareg believers with humble unity and a deeper life in Christ.
May Tuareg Christians be a witness to those around them that many would know of your love. Amen
