Bible Readings:
Nehemiah 2:11–18
Reflection Questions:
- How open is your heart to the coming of God and his Kingdom? Is there any part of you that is not ready to invite his presence?
- How might the Lord want you to pray, and where might he want you to step into someone’s story?
Prayer Prompts:
- That the Spirit would show you where he wants you to intercede for your family, your church, and our country.
- Invite God into the brokenness that he’s identified to you to do the redeeming, restoring work only he can do. Invite him to be more present in your thoughts and choices today so you can be more present to others.
- That the North Africans in Spain would recognize their need for Jesus and invite him into their story.
Listening Prayer:
- Jesus, how do you want to come into my story? How do you want to use me to bring your presence into the story of someone else?
North Africans in Spain:
Many North Africans have moved to Spain. The province of Barcelona has a large Muslim population of 135,000. In one international worker’s town, 10% of the population is from North Africa—of whom 1% are believers with no local fellowship.
Our international workers in Spain regularly share gospel stories with them. Some have begun to join weekly prayer and worship meetings. In that town, the people are mainly Berbers and Arabs, who enjoy Chinese tea with mint and lots of sugar. They are incredibly hospitable people, and a visit can stretch over two or three meals.
More than 325,000 North Africans live in Canada.
Pray with us:
Father, we bless North Africans with hope and a future! We pray that many will know your goodness. We declare your sovereignty over the nations, and we bless them with the everlasting hope that changes everything.
Thank you for marking out their appointed times in history so that they would find you. Father, as North Africans travel and meet people, would you set people who know you in their path. We pray that your people would offer hope to North Africans. We ask that we feel your tender heart and compassion for them. Amen.
