Saudi Arabian Students in the USA!
President George Bush and King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia have agreed for 50,000-plus Saudi students to study for university degrees in the United States. Pray that many believers will reach out to these students. Maybe you could be one of the people who engages them with the love of Jesus.

True Devotion

Surrounded by millions of Hindus, and countless more images of the false gods they worship, students on an IWC project begin to learn a lesson from the deep devotion Hindus have for their powerless gods.  Told by the students themselves, this story will explore their hearts for worship and will follow along with them as they discover “true devotion.”

People Group Focus: The Bugis of Indonesia

“The Boogeyman is going to get you!” is an imported phrase that Western nations have adopted from Indonesia, coming from the Bugis people [pronounced boo-gees] who have long had a reputation – earned or otherwise – as being violent marauders and thieves. The Bugis are strict adherents to Islam and have no hope of eternal salvation without someone telling them about Christ.

Prayer Points for the Bugis

1. God will call laborers to do massive sowing of the gospel among the Bugis.

2. New believers will stand strong in the face of family and community persecution.

3. God will call out intercessors to pray fervently for the Bugis until the church is established.

Persecuted Church: Afghanistan

The Southern Pashtun (POSH-toon) live along the eastern border of Afghanistan and number more than 12.5 million. They are more than 99 percent Islamic, with less than .01 percent professing Christ. While a number of believers meet in small groups, no visible Southern Pashtun church exists. Most Pashtun have no access to the Gospel, with no Scripture in the Southern Pashtun language. Radio programs are available, but little opportunity to promote the broadcasts. Because of severe persecution, most Pashtun believers remain secret most of their lives. The few who are known to be believers will likely lose their families, jobs, opportunities in their society – and even their lives.

More about the persecuted church at Compass Direct.

Bible Study: The Three O's of Prayer
By Phyllis Tadlock, your IMB missionary serving in Southern Africa

Americans pride themselves in their productivity, efficiency and the ability to work on several things at the same time. They have even managed to add a new phrase into everyday conversation to describe what they aspire to do so well – multitasking, but, honestly, we have no reason to stroke our egos for our ingenuity. Just as our God is the creator of creativity, He is the master of multitasking. God is never about only one thing at a time, He is always is working on several levels simultaneously. He not only always sees the big picture – He is the big picture! He desires to take those big theological words like omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscience and multitask them into the reality of our every day walk with Him. Read more . . .
