2. And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
3. And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.
4. And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.
5. And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
6. And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.

As we are in the last week of Ramadan, please continue to pray with believers who often face increased persecution during this Muslim holy month and also for seeking Muslims to find the one true God.

Ramadan is often a time that can put even more pressures on secret Christ-followers as they spend time with family, friends and their community. It is also a time where those who follow Jesus stand out even more than usual as their communities observe the Muslim holy month.

At the same time, Ramadan is a unique time for seeking Muslims to encounter Christ as they seek God. There are many stories of Muslims coming to Christ during Ramadan as faithful Christians share—often at great risk to themselves—their stories of encountering Christ.

As the Body of Christ, Ramadan gives us the opportunity to intercede and pray for the world’s 1.8 billion Muslims—asking Jesus to reveal Himself to seeking Muslims.

We can also stand with our brothers and sisters in Christ around the world in prayer—asking God to protect and bless them.

And we can pray against attacks from Islamic extremists who often use Ramadan as an opportunity to call their followers to violence.

15. He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runneth very swiftly.
16. He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes.

18. He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow.
19. He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.
20. He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.

Believers Caught Smuggling Christian Books in Kazakhstan

Open Doors recently received an update on a group of Christians who were stopped and then arrested in the Kazakh Airport in Kazakhstan for smuggling Christian literature. The group—which consisted of believers from Russia, Kazakhstan and other Central Asian countries—had about 30 Christian books in their possession. Most of the group are believers who have converted from Islam.

Kazakh police have released several of the Christians who are Russian citizens, but others are still in the police station. The books that were confiscated were sent for review to a special group. If this group determines the literature is Christian, police could pursue a criminal case against the Christians in custody. If the group doesn’t find the books to be Christian contraband, the believers would pay the fine for smuggling literature.

Our brothers and sisters in Central Asia are asking we join them in praying.

Please pray that the rest of the group would be released.

Pray the believers would find favor with the group reviewing the literature.

Pray that there would be no criminal case and no jail sentence for our Kazakh brothers.
