God, we love you! As your Church, help us to do what it takes to let the people of Tunisia grasp the Good News that Jesus has authority even over all of nature! (Matthew 8:27)
IM is 34 years old and has 2 small children. She dreamed that the Messiah put His hand on her and said, “Follow me, and you won’t regret it. I will take you to my kingdom.” She then saw heaven in front of her, and she knew it was the right way. She reached out to Christians online and began to really know the Messiah through Scripture. She was baptized. Though IM has found Christ, her husband is far from Him. He is violent and unfaithful. She wants to leave him, but her children want to be with their father. Pray that God will again show IM a clear path ahead, in which He is Lord.
“Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and for ten days you will have tribulation. Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.” (Revelation 2:10 ESV).
Lord Jesus, you have gone before us on the Way, showing what it means to be faithful unto death. Would you give your church in Tunisia the grace to remain faithful in proclamation and holiness unto death, that they might joyfully receive the crown of life that your perfect grace has prepared for them. (Revelation 2:10).
University students- Sonia ate ravenously, enjoying every bite of non-cafeteria food. It was so good to get out of the toxic environment her university dorm had become. For a conservative, rural girl, living in the big capital city has been a shocking experience, to say the least—all these new ideas, these new accents, the foods, the immorality… Today she could breathe as she spent the day with the Christian family that she’d known for years. With all of this “new” swirling around her, she needed some grounding and time reading a holy book. “Anything will be better than this!” she spat out, half frightened that she as a Muslim was going to the Bible as a stabilizing factor. Pray for Sonia and the thousands of Tunisian university students who have a unique season of exploration in their post-secondary years. For those who come to big cities, this could literally be the only season of their lives where they aren’t being carefully monitored and scrutinized by their families. Ask that Jesus powerfully meet these impressionable young adults who are seeking Truth!

God, we love you! As your Church, help us do what it takes to let the people of Tunisia grasp the Good News that Jesus knowingly took one step after another toward Jerusalem knowing He would be condemned to death, mocked, flogged, crucified and then be raised on the third day! (Matthew 20:19)
ReadGod, we love you! As your Church, help us do what it takes to let the people of Tunisia grasp the Good News that Jesus' cross was the one place in the world's history in which your Father's justice AND mercy were simultaneously fulfilled as He was marred beyond human semblance, despised, rejected, sorrowful, acquainted with grief, smitten, afflicted, pierced, crushed, chastised, and anguished (Isaiah 52-53) so that WE don't have to be.
