NOTE: I realize how scary it can be to share your faith with someone you know. But have you ever gone to prison for it?!! Well, I hope that the following prayer request will inspire you to consider the VERY HIGH COST students in other parts of the world are willing to pay to tell others about Jesus. Just think about the following prayer request the next time you hesitate to share the gospel with someone.
I've received the following URGENT prayer request from a friend in the high school ministry; I hope that you will take time to lift these students up for special prayer and let others know.
'Please ... be in prayer for 2 Ethiopian high school students who have been imprisoned for sharing their faith. Here is the update from our director: “Right after the life4All students conference, 44 students were divided in to the 3 towns namely Bahirdar, Debre Markos and Dejen for 20 days. The team that went to Dejen had to move to the next town called Bichena for they had saturated dejen just in 10 days. In the mean times, many of them have been [beaten] up and persecuted. Yet they pressed on and kept on sharing the good news. 2 of our students (boy and a girl) from the bichena town have been arrested as they were sharing their faith on the 25th of August. . . . We know that God is in control and everything will happen for good. So far, more than 3 people came to Christ in the jail.
* Pray for the students that God may encourage them and they may experience God’s presence.
* Pray for God’s protection in the prison.
* Pray that God would [interfere] and things will work out safe for them to come out of the jail.
* Pray for their family.
* Pray that God may use this time to mold the students for his eternal purpose and they will stand firm with their faith.” '
