Praise Report

“ We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks! For Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near.”–The Bible, Psalm 75:1

AFGHANISTAN According to International

Christian Concern, a man imprisoned for converting to Christianity in Afghanistan was released in February. The former Muslim decided to follow Jesus Christ eight years ago. He was arrested after an Afghan TV station reported on Afghanis leaving Islam and converting to Christianity. Give thanks for this man’s release. Pray for the Lord to minister healing to him (he was abused in prison and received death threats). Ask the Lord to use the persecution Afghani Christians are facing to advance His Kingdom and build His church in that nation.

EGYPT “What happened in

not only means al-Qaeda is now without its leader, but according to those involved in the fight against terrorism, represents a “severe body blow” to the entire al-Qaeda network. With the organization now on the defensive, Western governments aim to finish the job and defeat al-Qaeda completely. “We’re determined to do so and we believe we can,” one official said. Give thanks to the Lord for this answer to years of prayer. Ask Him to help governments and agencies wipe out al-Qaeda and its affiliates in North Africa and the Middle East, as well as every other violent, extremist organization in the world.

The Lord’s name is very near, as the following praise reports testify.

Egypt the past few days was nothing short of a miracle,” writes one missionary about the revolution in that nation. “For many years the church has been praying, seeing the corruption and the tyranny of the system and the abuse of the Christians. The Lord intervened through the youth, with the first technological revolution in history. The amazing thing is that it was a peaceful revolution. This is an important time for Egyptian Christians. There is a crack in the wall between Muslims and Christians. This

may not last long and we as Christians must be diligent during this unique opportunity.” Praise the Lord for the great work He is doing in Egypt. Pray for Christians to remain diligent and take advantage of this time of openness and unity.

The main focus will be prayer for: repentance the restoration of the Church the healing of the nations

Christians around the world will be spending Sunday, June 12, 2011 crying out to the Lord on behalf of their respective nations.

Intercession will be based on two principle Scriptures:

“ If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” (The Bible, II Chronicles 7:14)

“ For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.” (The Bible, Habakkuk 2:14)

This worldwide event will not promote any political agenda or market any individual ministry. It is meant to exalt the Lord Jesus Christ in all the earth.

Invite your small group, church, community, friends and family to join this global concert of prayer.

nce referred to as the East Indies, Indonesia is made up of more than 17,500 islands spread across 7.9 million square kilometers. It is the world’s fourth most populous nation, with 245,613,043 people. While those statistics may surprise some, what is perhaps even more startling is the fact that Indonesia has the world’s largest population of Muslims. Sometime in the 13th century, the influence of Muslim traders began to take hold and by the 16th century, most of the islands now part of Indonesia had surrendered to Islam. Islamic beliefs and rituals were mixed with previous religious practices to form a potent form of folk Islam. “Wherever Islam went,” writes Johan Tangelder, “it introduced old and new superstitions. Superstitions and

June 2011

animistic beliefs still bind mind and heart with constant fear of demons, with witchcraft and sorcery.” Samuel Zwemer believed that the rapid spread of Islam through Indonesia was “largely due to its animistic character.” In his accounts, Zwemer points out, “Many Muslims live in a world densely populated by an array of good and evil and earthly spirits which influence human affairs.” Though they attend mosque on Friday, many also go to the witchdoctor when they have financial, physical or emotional problems. More than 200 of Indonesia’s 783 people groups are considered unreached or least-reached. That means the Gospel has either not been proclaimed among them, or they have not responded to it. Just over 80% of the nearly 250 million people are still in bondage to the false religion of Islam. Sources: “Folk Islam,” by Johan D.

FROM THE

FIELD What impact do your prayers and donations have on the 10/40 Window? The following account from one of our many contacts inside this region provides a powerful glimpse.

“The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, because the LORD has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound.” (The Bible, Isaiah 61:1)

I was praying and praying, asking God to open [the] door to visit [a] remote jail for almost five years. This last Saturday God opened my way… I was given permission to enter. By God’s desire I was permitted right inside the cell without hindrance and I could meet five dear people there whom

8 | The 10/40 Window Reporter

God chose, I am sure. I was allowed to talk to them one hour but God blinded the eyes of the army there and we could fellowship for more than two hours. I was trying to explain the truth of the Gospel… God enabled me to speak on the truth of the Lord and Savior and Salvation and forgiveness in him alone – they were so excited.

www.WIN1040.com

Finally after two hours of hearing the Gospel of truth three gave their life to the Maker and Creator, Hallelujah! God let me ordain one brother there to take care of the folk, [so] they can have fellowship. Beloved, what a joy to see their faces changed when they got the true Gospel, when they knew their sins are forgiven. Your concern, gifts and my work equals to God’s glory, Hallelujah.

Who will lead the country? Who will write the laws? Who will make the decisions? Will the voting be fair? Will there be violence? Will the outcome reflect the will of the people? Elections can change the course of nations. As you consider those scheduled to be held this month: Pray for fair elections free from rigging and manipulation. Ask the Lord to raise up men and women who will serve with integrity, righteousness, and justice. Pray for an end to corruption and graft. Invite the Lord to appoint those of His choosing and fulfill His purposes in the nations of the 10/40 Window.

PULLING DOWN STRONGHOLDS

“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds….” (The Bible, II Corinthians 10:4)

The vast majority of Saudi Arabia’s more than 26 million people (approximately 92%) are followers of Islam. Most belong to the Salafi school (sometimes called Wahhabi) of Sunni Islam. Salafi means “predecessor” and is a movement that looks back on the first three generations of Muslims: the Sahabah (“Companions”), the Tabiun (“Followers”) and the Tabi al-Tabiin (“Those After the Followers”).

12 | The 10/40 Window Reporter

www.WIN1040.com

Not all Salafi in Saudi Arabia believe the same things. “The easy explanation for differences within the Salafi movement,” writes Trevor Stanley, “is that some aim to change society through da’wa (preaching/evangelism) whereas others want to change it through violence.” Those who promote violence are known as Salafi Jihadis. Jihad means “struggle” and can mean either an inner struggle to keep the faith, a struggle to improve society, or a struggle to defend and advance Islam. In

June 2011

some cases, it is considered a “holy war.” (Jihad is a duty and is sometimes called the sixth pillar of Islam.) Saudi Arabia is not only the birthplace of Islam and home to an orthodox, sometimes violent brand of this false religion, but it also is its chief propagator. As one journalist notes, this nation has “exported its intolerant and violent form of Islam, Wahhabism, spending

Thailand and Cambodia are edging toward war. Troops along the common border have been engaging in battles that have resulted in at least 11 deaths. “The Cambodian acts of aggression left Thailand with no choice but to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity by using proportionate means with necessity,” the Thai Foreign Ministry said.

“ Imagine if the hearts of Christians around the world were recaptured by the self-giving example of Christ’s love being poured out for us on the cross. What might that kind of radical Christian giving look like…?” —Stephen Grabill, Kingdom Stewardship

Imagine laying your time, talents, hopes, dreams, and finances at the feet of Jesus. Then imagine leaving them there – where they belong. Imagine what that would look like in practical terms. It would certainly look very different from the “gimme-gimme” attitude practiced by much of the world and would stand out dramatically from the selfishness and greed that drives most people. Radical Christian living and giving would cause many people – even some Christians – to stop and stare. If we dare to take up that challenge, the world will see the love of Christ illustrated through us. What an opportunity! And what an honor: to follow the example of our Lord and Savior by pouring ourselves out for His glory. Instead of simply imagining what radical Christian giving might look like, why don’t we try it and find out. Let’s start today – right now – by surrendering everything to the Lord. And let’s ask Him what He wants us to do with the resources He has entrusted to us. Invite Him to show you the role He wants you to play in reaching the people of the 10/40 Window with the Gospel. Go to www.WIN1040.com to explore ways to pray and give toward the advance of the Kingdom of God in the “final frontier of missions.”

What is keeping the Generosity Movement from taking hold in the Church? “God blesses Christians with vast resources,” says Dr. Sas Conradie, coordinator of the Resource Mobilization Working Group (RMWG). “Unfortunately, Christians are keeping the blessing for themselves instead of sharing it in God’s mission in the world. We need a movement of whole life disciples of Jesus Christ who give and share freely, abundantly and joyfully the financial resources God has entrusted to them.” The Lord Himself gave us a mission to perform (The Bible, Matthew 28:18-20). We know He has provided the resources, yet the job hasn’t been finished. Why? What impact would a Generosity Movement have on completing the Great Commission?

At Window International Network, we are seeking to reach the least-reached nations and people groups on planet earth. We do that by mobilizing prayer for the 10/40 Window and by raising up and equipping leaders inside this region who will effectively evangelize, plant churches, and disciple others. It’s a big job. And that’s why we need your help. Join the Generosity Movement today by investing the resources God has entrusted to you in His Kingdom. Prayerfully consider giving generously to the work WIN is doing in the final frontier of missions. Sources: “Consultation Document” RMWG

Despite its size, the tiny island of Bahrain has been prominent in the news for the last several months. When the unrest that swept through the Arab world reached this kingdom nation, the Shiite majority (70% of the population) took to the streets. In response, King Hamad bin Isa alKalifa imported 2,000 soldiers from the United Arab Emirates and 1,200 tanks from Saudi Arabia to put down the uprising.

King Khalifa declared a state of emergency and had protesters forcibly removed with the use of live ammunition and tear gas. “Since then,” writes the NY Times, “Bahrain has taken on the likeness of a police state. There have been mass arrests, mass firings of government workers, reports of torture and the forced resignation of the top editor of the nation’s one independent newspaper.”

Four demonstrators were sentenced to death in April 2011. Almost 50 doctors and other medical personnel were detained, harassed and allegedly tortured for treating injured anti-government demonstrators. Unlike the leaders of Tunisia and Egypt, who were forced to step down, King Khalifa has chosen to resist the calls for change. His crackdown on protests has been severe and unrelenting.

“After the crackdown,” said the president of the Bahrain Center for Human Rights, “the government targeted every group who supported the uprising – they targeted teachers, politicians, academics, students – all of them were targeted group by group. Many thousands of people were terminated from their jobs, their houses being raided, their money stolen.” Sources: NY Times, LA Times, Bahrain News Agency

Where Is Your

Treasure? According to the Bible, it’s very easy to figure out what you value most in life: simply follow your heart. If your heart is hoping for a new car, that’s where your treasure is. If your heart is chasing after a raise at work, that’s where your treasure is. If your heart is longing for heaven, that’s where your treasure is.

Where is your treasure? Making earthly things your treasure is foolish. The Bible says so. Jesus said: “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.” As Randy Alcorn points out, Jesus taught this “not just because wealth might be lost; it’s because wealth will always be lost. Either it leaves us while we live, or we leave it when we die. No exceptions. Storing up earthly treasures isn’t simply wrong. It’s just plain stupid.”

Where is your treasure? The only way to invest the resources God has entrusted to you wisely is to invest them in His Kingdom. Nothing else will bear lasting dividends. But the souls that are saved by the preaching of the Gospel in the 10/40 Window will be in heaven for all eternity.

Where is your treasure? Where is your heart?

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (The Bible, Matthew 6:21)

Praying Through The Window 9

Global Terrorism and World Religions Prayer Calendar

You prayed and the Lord is answering. God is moving powerfully in the 10/40 Window. Terrorists are being apprehended and subdued. People who have been blinded by false systems of religion are seeing the Light of Jesus Christ. The harvest is accelerating. Much of the 10/40 Window is in turmoil. Change is in the air. Governments have fallen. Others are in jeopardy. Nations are being birthed. Which is why we have produced the new, 2011 Praying Through the Window 9 (PTTW9) calendar. We haven’t changed our focus – we are still targeting the issues of global terrorism and world religions inside the 10/40 Window. But we have updated the information to help you pray more accurately and strategically.

Is Humanitarian Aid Enough? The Bible is filled with verses addressing the subject of poverty. God’s people are called upon over and over again to minister to the poor and needy. “Be fair to the poor and to the orphans,” the Lord says. “Defend the helpless and everyone in need. Rescue the weak and homeless from the powerful hands of heartless people.” (The Bible, Psalm 82:3,4) The Lord has a special heart for those who are hungry and oppressed, the fatherless and the widow. James tells us that “Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble….” (The Bible, James 1:27a) But is feeding and clothing those in distress enough? If we share the Gospel while ignoring the physical and economic needs of those we seek to minister to, we are not demonstrating the love of God. However, is it possible to err on the other side – being so concerned with feeding and clothing people that we overlook and even neglect their spiritual needs? Both physical and spiritual needs must be addressed, but which one should take priority? Perhaps a better question is: which has a greater eternal impact? The answer is, of course, their need for a Savior. Without the forgiveness, salvation and eternal life Jesus provides, people will perish. No matter how empty or full their stomachs might be. No matter how exposed or protected their home might be. By providing humanitarian aid without the Gospel, all we are doing is ensuring that the poor and oppressed are comforted in this life as they head toward everlasting destruction (The Bible, II Thessalonians l:9). What a horrible disservice! Don’t we care where they spend eternity? Jesus’ last words before leaving this earth were not, “Go therefore, and feed the hungry.” He did not say, “Go therefore, and make sure people have adequate housing, clothing and clean water.” Though the Lord cares about those things, His priority was this: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the “Pure and undefiled name of the Father and of the Son religion before and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them God and the to observe all things that I have commanded you…” (The Bible, Matthew Father is this: to 28:19,20). visit orphans and Preaching the Gospel should be accompanied by acts of kindness and widows in their love. But whether or not we have the trouble…” resources and opportunity to bring an end to world hunger, we most defi(The Bible, Psalm 82:3,4) nitely have the resource to offer every nation, tribe and tongue eternal life: the Good News of Jesus Christ.

Nigeria Hymie: Greetings WindowKids!

I am so excited to tell you about our next adventure to Africa! This month we will explore the West African country of Nigeria. Nigeria is a beautiful place filled with many people who love the Lord! As I was flying over the land, I noticed that Nigerians love to tell stories! Friends, I heard remarkable tales of famous hunters, warriors, and animals. Parents teach their children valuable lessons about values and morals through these stories. They encourage their children to be honest, courageous, humble, and people of integrity. This month I am going to tell

you a story I heard from my friend, Edmund. “Once upon a time, there lived a rich Chief. He was the richest man in all of Nigeria. He was so wealthy that he could not even count his sheep, cattle, or oxen. There were just too many. Despite his riches, the Chief was unhappy. One day, he asked his servants what he could do to be happy. One man said, “I know, my Chief! If you look up at the moon and the stars, you will see how beautiful they are and then you will be happy!” The Chief replied, “Although, the moon and the stars are very beautiful, that will not make me happy.” His second servant replied, “I know, my Chief! If you hear the sound of our villagers singing and drumming, then you will be happy!” The Chief replied, “Although the singing and drumming of my people is very beautiful, it will not make me happy.” Finally the Chief’s third servant spoke, “I know my Chief! Send your humble servant across the land to find the happiest man in the land. Then you may ask that man to share his cloak with you, so that you may be able to receive his happiness!”

The Chief was so excited! He agreed to the plan and sent his servant to find the happiest man in the land. The servant searched and searched. Finally he came to a village where he met an elder. The elder told the servant that there was a man in the village whom he thought was the happiest man in the world! The servant immediately brought this man to the Chief. When the Chief saw the man, he realized the man did not have a cloak! His old garments were torn and filled with holes! The Chief was shocked. He asked the man, “How can I receive your happiness when you have no cloak to share? You have nothing: no sandals on your feet, no animals to carry you. You do not even have clean garments!” The man said to the Chief, “My happiness does not come from clothes or money. My happiness comes from the joy of the Lord! My God provides for all my needs.”

This is more than just a story about how to be happy. It is about finding your joy in the Lord Jesus Christ. Many of our friends around the world have very little - no toys, no clothes or money. What they do have is Jesus Christ! The Bible tells us in Hebrews 13:5 “Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, ‘Never will I leave you; Never will I forsake you.’” WindowKids, this is one of the greatest promises that God has made. Whenever we feel sad or alone, we need to remember that the God who created the Heavens and Earth loves us deeply and will never forsake us! He gives us true Joy. His joy fills our hearts and NOTHING can ever take it away! Sources: www.cia.gov

How well do you know Nigeria?

Sometimes we think that there are “things” that will make us happy? Are there “things” in your life that have robbed you of the Joy that only Jesus Christ can give you? Clothes, friends, money…? Or maybe something else? Over the next 30 days, pray about the “things” in your life that may be keeping you from true Joy! Ask the Lord to teach you how to have true Joy in your life!
