IMB logo IMB PRAY header image The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. James 5:16b, NKJV Print Web Version MAY 8, 2017 English Opens Doors Every week, believers walk through the streets of a South Asian village to share the gospel and prau that they will grasp the truths they are taught. IMB PRAYER REQUESTS Restored Joy Leon* and Lisa*, Mozambican missionaries, lost a child in December—the second child they have lost. Leon later shared: “I was at the end of my rope and ready to just give up, but I begged that Jesus would somehow show me the way forward.” That night he and Lisa experienced the loving, outstretched arms of the Savior. They had been considering leaving their village to take a teaching job in another province. They determined that it was not time for them to leave the place they had been serving and that they were to continue until the Lord released them. Since that day, Lisa has carried a smile; her joy and confidence is in Christ Jesus. Not only has there been restoration for Leon and Lisa, but there have been six others in their village who have recently come to faith in Jesus Christ. Praise God for this, and thank you for your ongoing prayers. (*names changed) PrayerPoints Of the more than 1.6 billion people that make up South Asia, nearly 500 million of them are Muslim.

The “Bay” group of believers in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, has responded to God’s call to be “ambassadors for Christ.” They are committed to sharing the gospel with more than 1,000 people over the course of the summer. Thanh* is one person they have already encountered. He will never forget the first time he heard the story of Jesus. He had heard of people called “Christians” before, but he never knew what they believed. Now that he has heard the story, it seems incredible and he doesn’t know whether or not to believe. * Please pray that God will open Thanh’s heart so that he will fully accept the truth pf the gospel. * Intercede for the “Bay” group as they share and that they will see everlasting fruit.
