North Africa
A woman in North Africa, who has come to faith in Christ,
said . . .
“I wish people could see what is happening here. People are being transformed. People are transforming their
communities. In the end, if someone
knows Christ, everyone around them is blessed.
I know for sure the prayers of the people around me, the church and the
people I do not know, are the reason behind where I am in my life.”
I was really truck by what this woman said. She is “sure”, she is convinced, that prayer
has played a part in her journey to faith.
She knows that people have been praying for her, and she knows that that’s
made a difference – it’s the reason for where she is now in her faith in
Christ.
Impacted from afar
She also recognises that people who don’t even know her have
prayed for her, and that their prayers have impacted her life. As people around the world have prayed, even in
general ways, for North Africa, and called out to God for His intervention in the
lives of men and women, so she has been impacted and today is a believer in
Christ.
Power of prayer
This woman recognises the power of prayer. Do we?
Do we pray for countries and situations around the world really aware of
the impact we are having as we co-operate with God and pray according to His
will?
Prayer . . . what a
high calling . . . what an awesome
privilege!
Be encouraged. Go on praying!
