Day 7

Our Treasure in Jesus

God, we love you! As your Church, help us do what it takes to let the people of Tunisia grasp the Good News that we are justified IN Christ! (Galatians 2:17)

Pray for a Tunisian Believer

AC is from the capital city. He is 30 years old and comes from a poverty-stricken family. Before he accepted Christ, he (like many in Tunisia) felt that the only solution for his life was to make a dangerous escape by boat to Europe. However, Christ gave him purpose for his life and now he wants to stay in Tunisia and offer others hope. Life has remained difficult. When AC told his family about his new faith, they kicked him out of the house. He started working as a coffee server and reading the Bible with the customers. The owner of the shop fired him. The Lord provided another job at another coffee shop and AC continues to share. His purpose is to share the Good News! AC’s family has accepted him back now, and he is sharing hope with them. Pray that God will use AC as he shares and that persecution will make his faith stronger.

Prayer for Boldness

“I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the war horse from Jerusalem; and the battle bow shall be cut off, and he shall speak peace to the nations; his rule shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.” (Zechariah 9:10 ESV).

Lord God, would you break the weapons of spiritual and physical war that harm the church in Tunisia and would you speak peace to this and to every nation as you build your Kingdom to the ends of the earth. (Zechariah 9:10) May your peacemaking spirit take deep root in the church in Tunisia and would you grant them to shake the foundations of society with the power of their sacrifice, service, and forgiveness.

Pray for a Segment of Society

Parents of handicapped children – Lamise rocked in the corner as usual, the family keeping one watchful eye on her proximity to the live coals heating up the tiny pot of mint tea while they welcomed the guests who’ve just arrived. Lamise was a fully-grown woman now—physically strong and powerful, yet unable to speak a clear word. Their tiny apartment’s furnishings were meagre and mismatched, plaster peeling in chunks. Just putting food on the table for Lamise and her three siblings was overwhelming to the point that her family had to pull her from the community’s centre for children with disabilities. “It wasn’t actually as hard a choice as it sounds like.” Lamise’s mother recounted the signs of violent injury covering her body in the weeks leading up to her coming home. But what to do now? Like Lamise’s family, Nouran was also in a tight place with her handicapped daughter. Deprived of oxygen at birth due to physician’s negligence, Nouran’s situation grew from bad to worse, draining every ounce of already-insufficient money and energy from the family’s life. The Christian family that they met during her toddler years visited frequently, listened to their teary rants of desperation, prayed for them in Jesus’ name… and served at her funeral when she passed away at age four. Pray for families with handicapped children. The country is woefully under-resourced and families are desperate. For some there is an archaic, cultural shame involved, for others there is the bone-weary exhaustion that comes from the ongoing, unrelenting care of a needy one. May each member of these families experience miracles of healing and the sustaining grace of Christ.
