Today’s prayer
A mission partner couple based in Spain seek to share the gospel with Spanish and Arab people around them and support Arab Christians in the Middle East to grow in faith. Praise God that on a recent trip to the Middle East, the husband was present at a village church which was packed to overflowing with both Christians and Muslims. Pray for those who heard the gospel for the first time that evening to be moved to commit their lives to Jesus.
