URGENT PRAYER UPDATE
IMB
DECEMBER 7, 2009

AFRICA. Thank you for your continued prayers for the national Baptist partners in a southern Africa country that you are lifting before the Father’s throne. Strong disagreements have resulted in false accusations, police intervention, and upcoming court appearances. Despite the daily “bad” things that are happening, good things are happening each day as well! God is in control, and He will overcome. As you are able, please pray these promises over the entire issue: 2 Chronicles 20:15; Joshua 1:9; Isaiah 43:1-2; Psalm 121:7-8; Psalm 120:1-2; Psalm 33:10, 11, 18-22; Matthew 16:8; Ephesians 6:12; Romans 8:28; Jeremiah 29:11; 2 Peter 2:9; Psalm 37:3-9, 23-25; Matthew 10:18-20, 26; and 2 Corinthians 4:7-10, 15-18. Thank you for praying!
