Teach New Believers Evangelism Techniques in Iraq
As the number of new believers increases, one native ministry has begun to organize trainings that teach about following Christ and obeying Scripture, as well as evangelism techniques. About 20 attendees at one of the recent training sessions live in areas under strict religious law and must serve the Lord and evangelize in total secrecy. “The Lord blessed us this year also with so many souls from a Muslim background who surrendered their lives to Christ,” the ministry leader said. Donations of $60 or $120 help disciple new believers. Pray the Lord’s protection over those who must worship Him in secret.

Workers need donations for outreach and discipleship. “Pray for wisdom from above that will help us to know how in the most effective and efficient way to use our scarce resources to advance the cause of the gospel,” the ministry leader said.

After a two-hour gospel conversation, the woman was baptized in the bathtub. “From now until the end of my life I put my whole life in the way of Christ,” she said afterward.

While reading, he experienced Jesus’ transformative power, and after further biblical study and attendance at Christian gatherings, he realized Jesus was the missing part of his life. Funds of $25 or $50 help with the creation and distribution of publications such as this. Pray that those who read them will yearn to know more about Jesus.

A native ministry’s theology program enables men and women already on the mission field to study part-time to enhance their biblical, historical, and theological understanding. “With the influx of new Arab believers, the Arab Church is in need of theologically educated and biblically trained men and women who are equipped for effective ministry to their communities across the Arab world,” the ministry leader said. Approximately 250 students participated in the degree program during a six-month period. Your donations of $25 or $50 are needed for evangelism and discipleship throughout the country. Pray for missionaries as they learn how to be more effective for Christ’s kingdom.
