• Some Prayer Requests:
• “Tunisia ‘appears’ to be a Muslim country – but all this is just an appearance, it doesn’t reflect actual belief or commitment. In reality people are pursuing dreams of earning more money and doing better for themselves. Pray that this spiritual emptiness would be replaced with a desire to find out more about the God who created them and loves them.”
• ‘Pray for continued growth and discipleship in Tunisia’s churches. Few Tunisian believers have been Christians for more than 10 years. It is really difficult for many Christians to keep going because they become isolated and fearful. Pray that God would bless them with faith and courage to continue to persevere.’
• Thousands of migrants are fleeing the current unrest in Libya and finding temporary refuge in Tunisia. Pray for the ongoing relief efforts at the transit camps in Tunisia.
• The Algerian Arab (253,091) and the Deaf Tunisian (50,580) people groups are still not engaged. ‘Pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.’
