“Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, ‘Abba, Father.’ So you are no longer a slave, but a son and since you are a son, God has made you also an heir.” (Galatians 4:6-7)
Lord, prepare our hearts to reflect the Spirit of your Son. We can call YOU our Abba Father because of Jesus. We belong to YOU as sons and daughters and not as slaves. May we reflect the Spirit of Jesus to everyone we meet as we celebrate that Christ has come.
Pray for open hearts and receptivity among the Tai Peung, the Tai Sam, the Taket, the Tamoy, and the Tayten peoples in Laos.
Lift up the Mien of Laos. Family, honor, and respect are very important in Southeast Asia. This can make a conversion to Christianity difficult because new converts are distancing themselves from family values and traditions. Pray that believers find ways to show love to their families without participating in spirit worship. Pray that believers can influence and lead their families to Christ.
C and L are not sleeping well in Southeast Asia and are feeling very tired. Please pray that they will be at peace and sleep well. Pray that their daughter J, in the U.S. in college, would feel the presence of Jesus and that He would comfort her in her loneliness. Recently several of the staff in Southeast Asia have been experiencing difficult circumstances. Whether or not these circumstances are direct spiritual attacks, they have a direct impact on the faith of the staff.
