Monday 16 April 2012 Pray for the impact of The Seekers, a film sharing the testimonies of believers from the Gulf. Released almost two years ago, the film has now been made available for download on mobile phone. With thousands of Gulf Arabs accessing the internet through mobile devices, this is an important development.   Pray that many in the Gulf would watch this film and learn that there are Christians in their own nations. May many make the choice to believe and follow Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Read More

Friday 16 March 2012 Today marks a year since the uprisings began in Syria, yet there has been no breakthrough for the people. It is difficult to know how to pray.

And may those who have brought injustice to the Syrian people, be held accountable for their actions. Read More
