Day 5

Children are encouraged to fast and participate in Ramadan activities. Many do so to gain approval from their parents, their community and their peers. May God create unrest in their hearts, replacing it with a longing to be accepted by Him!

Day 4

Women must rise early each day to prepare a meal which her family will eat before the sun rises. As women tire because of this schedule ask that in their weariness they would encounter True Rest in I AM.

Day 3

Ask that those fasting will be blessed with a thirsting and hungering after Truth and not cease endeavoring to satisfy this hunger until they partake of the Bread of Life.

Day 2

This month there is a greater emphasis on good works, hoping and endeavoring to please Allah. Ask that those fasting would be faced with the startling realization that all their good works will not gain them access to Heaven.

Day 1

Musl.m s anticipate the beginning of Ramadan with great expectation. It is a time when great emphasis is placed on spiritual matters. Ask the Father that those who truly desire to know Him will begin to see their need for a Redeemer.

Finished

I finished the Breast Cancer Awareness Program this morning. I was able to share not only the physical side of breast cancer, but also discuss the emotional and spiritual aspects. Many stories from the Word were shared and I gave each lady a "Truth" film as a free gift, as well. I'm grateful that I was able to serve these ladies in this way and have the opportunity to share some good news with them. Continue to pray for persons of peace to come from this seminar.

Thanks for all of your prayers this week. You've helped me get through minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day. It's been a long week and I'm ready for a break. Looking forward to sleeping in a little bit, or a little longer than I have been sleeping at least.

Off to meet a musl. m family tomorrow in the morning and then another one in the evening. Pray that my stomach will be strong tomorrow. I've been having a lot of stomach problems lately and have little appetite. I know there will be much food and chai offered at each home I visit. Pray that I could be miraculously healed of my stomach problems and be able to eat the piles of yummy rice and Indian curries they will serve!

Have a fabulous weekend and make sure to check back for some special prayer requests I'll have beginning September 1st!

Blessings,
