RAMADAN DAY 9: Pray for Central Asian Migrant Workers
Many Central Asians are migrant workers. They leave their families and travel to big cities like Moscow or Istanbul to work for months at a time. Many work illegally and face unreliable wages from cruel employers. Ramadan often brings Muslim families together for celebratory sunset feasts to break the daily fast.
Central Asian migrant workers, however, are alone and far from home.
Pray their loneliness will lead them to search for something true and beautiful to fill the hole in their souls. Pray they will encounter the gospel online or through encounters with believers in their places of employment.

RAMADAN DAY 8: Pray for Central Asian Muslims
Muslim prayers must be performed in Arabic, a language most Central Asians do not speak. They speak other languages like Kazakh, Turkman, Farsi, or Turkish. They learn Arabic prayers, - and some even learn to read the Qur'an - but very few Central Asians actually understand the "holy" words they recite.
During this month of Ramadan, many Central Asians will work hard to pray, fast, and read the Qur'an.
Pray God will open their hearts to seek God through Jesus Christ, the Word of God who reveals Himself as Savior to all people of all languages.

RAMADAN DAY 7: Pray for the Central Asian Muslims
Many Central Asians are secular Muslims. Their identity cards label them as "Muslim" but they don't perform Islam's ritual prayers or find any personal hope in its tenets.
If honest, some secular Muslims even lean toward deism or atheism.
During this month of fasting, some will put on a facade of fasting to satisfy the community around them. Others make no pretense and take pride in their progressiveness.
Pray with us that god will reveal Himself to secular Central Asians. Pray their dissatisfaction with Islam will propel them to research Christianity and believe in Jesus for salvation.

Pray for the Fulanke Peoples of Mali
The Fulanke of Mali, numbering 97,000, are Unengaged and Unreached.
Families live in separate, fenced-in compounds. Their homes are round, thatch-roof huts made of mud and sun-dried brick. Few of the homes have electricity or running water.
The Fulanke primarily work as farmers, miners, or merchants. Cattle are also raised, but only to gain prestige within the community or to use in ceremonies.
While each village is ruled by its own chief, the oldest descendants of the first Maninka settlers are counted as nobility and also have a certain amount of authority. There is a clear social order among the Maninka. Those with the highest status are, surprisingly, the musicians and the blacksmiths. When a Maninka singer dies, his library of original music must be burned. The Maninka people believe that blacksmiths have magical powers.
...Will you pray and see if GOD is calling you to take the good news to the Fulanke of Mali?

RAMADAN DAY 5: Pray for Muslims
Muslims observe the Ramadan fast in an attempt to focus their thoughts on Allah by seeking forgiveness, remembering the poor, and living peaceably with others. Non-practicing Muslims are expected to observe other tenets of Islam, with some women going further by donning a veil during this month. Each sunset, Muslims break fast by eating dates, as their prophet did, and then consume delicious feasts throughout the night.
Come before God's throne of grace, and plead for mercy for Muslims because salvation belongs to the risen lamb.

Mappila Muslims are a minority people group in the southern tip of India with very little access to Scripture, churches, or born-again believers. They live in small communities surrounded by a Hindu majority.
Given their minority status, they are very wary of outsiders and lean on their Islamic heritage to distinguish themselves from other Indians around them. Their pride in their community swells during Ramadan as they find solidarity with one another through their fast.
Join us in praying that opportunities will develop to introduce this community to Christ.

The Figig Berbers of Algeria are Unengaged and Unreached. They once lived in Morocco, but now they live only in neighboring Algeria.

Like other Berbers, the Figig live in a society that is male-dominated. The line of descent is traced through the fathers and all inheritances are passed down through the males.

Update on Michael Bottoms (nephew of EBC member Lois Proctor). Michael was involved in a workplace accident several months ago. He had been having surgeries every other day for the last few weeks in an attempt to save his leg that was crushed in the accident. He has become very weak due to fluid buildup around the heart that was causing heart issues.
Doctors informed him that they will not be able to save the leg and have scheduled the surgery to amputate the leg some time today (February 2nd).
Please pray for the surgery to go well and and for strength for Michael as he goes through this procedure.

Pray for the Northern Kurds of Bahrain
Northern Kurds of Bahrain
Population: 80,000
Religion: Islam - Sunni
The Northern Kurds of Bahrain, are Unengaged and Unreached. Since WW1, Kurds began to migrate from the violence and turmoil of southeastern Turkey to the relative calm and prosperity of the island of Bahrain in the Persian Gulf. The Kurds in Bahrain live mostly in the northern part of this nation.
The Kurds of Bahrain have been in a weak position both socially and economically. Though ill-paid for their unskilled manual labor, they cannot press for better conditions for fear of deportation. Many in Bahrain are not citizens. Many Kurds take any job they can find to feed their families. The traditional occupation of the Kurds has been the herding of goats and sheep.
Family is an essential part of Kurdish culture. The relationship between family members is close. The clan and community are more important than the individual in traditional Kurdish society.
Kurdish women and girls are supposed to dress modestly. Dressing immodestly would dishonor her family. Respecting older people is integral part of Kurdish culture. Hospitality and family honor are significant features.
Will you pray that believers will go and share the gospel with the Kurds of Bahrain? Will you pray and see if GOD is calling you to go?

Asking for prayer for my daughter Meghan. She is currently in Nash County Jail awaiting court date on February 20th. She and her husband are heavily addicted to drugs.
Prior to her being arrested, they were living out of their van. Both had lost their jobs. They had pretty much sold everything they could to support their drug addiction. They have not had custody of their 2 daughters since 2019.
My prayer is that during her time in jail she will detox and be able to have a clear mind and thought process.
Also, my primary concern is for her to hear the Gospel and accept Jesus as her Savior.
I am praying for opportunities to be able to present this to her.
I was made aware this morning that Englewood has been doing a Bible study in there the past couple of weeks. Meghan states that she attended last week's study.
Prayer also for her husband Daniel. He is currently at Walter B Jones and will remain there for 30 days. He has been offered an opportunity to attend a recovery place in Wilmington at the end of his time at Walter B Jones.
My same prayer request for him is that he will receive Jesus.
This process of recovery will take a while and praying that they both will see the need to commit to extended treatment facilities.

I ask you help me pray for a family member of 2 very important people in my life. He is having surgery today.
He needs all the prayers as he has been tempted. He needs Jesus Love and guidance in this trying time. He needs to feel God’s presence and know he is loved beyond measure. I pray it all goes well for him and he recovers soon. I pray that in this new opportunity that God has given him to live he rejoices in the presence of Jesus Christ and that at any moment he is tempted, he turns to our Lord for strength and guidance.

Pray for the Deaf Afghans of Afghanistans
The Deaf Afghans of Afghanistan, numbering 119,000, are Unengaged and Unreached. Their primary language is Afghan Sign Language. The primary religion practiced by the Deaf Afghans is Sunni Islam, the largest branch of Islam.
There is no Bible Translations, Jesus Film, Gospel Recordings or Radio Broadcasts available.
Deaf people live anywhere in Afghanistan. They are not grouped in any particular region or city.
Afghanistan is a third-world country. Only 28% of adult Afghans can read and this makes reaching the deaf even more difficult since they cannot be reached with
audio resources.
Afghanistan is also a very poor nation. Shootings, bombings, and other attacks are fairly common. In fact, the life expectancy in Afghanistan is 40 years for men and 41 for women.
Will you pray and see if GOD is calling you to take the good news to the Deaf Afghans in Afghanistan? Pray that believers will be called to go into this region and share that Jesus is the ONLY way to Heaven and eternal life with Him.

Please pray as I begin my first round of chemo tomorrow (2/2/23) at Nash Cancer Center. This first infusion will take 3 hours. Pray that I have no adverse side effects from this treatment, and that I will be able to get through this process easily.

1/1/23: On December 23 I met with an oncologist and received a diagnosis of breast cancer. The tumor is too large currently for surgery, further tests this week to check for spread, and then chemo.
I am 61, and live alone, and battling crippling anxiety from this appointment.
Please pray for me, as this has overwhelmed me. But, I had a good Christmas - I did not let it steal my Christmas joy!
